## What is Cannot Ignore?

Never miss another important moment. Cannot Ignore is a powerful alarm app designed specifically for those critical, one-time events that demand your full attention.

FULL-SCREEN ALARMS THAT DEMAND ATTENTION

When your alarm fires, Cannot Ignore takes over your entire screen - whether you're on the lock screen, home screen, or in another app. There's no ignoring it, no accidentally dismissing it. You'll see a full-screen alert with your alarm details and action buttons front and center.

CUSTOM SOUNDS FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT

Make your alarms unmissable with custom audio files. Upload any sound that will get your attention - whether it's a special ringtone, voice recording, or audio file. Your important alarms deserve more than generic system sounds.

SMART CALENDAR & REMINDER INTEGRATION

Import upcoming events directly from your Calendar or Reminders with one tap. Cannot Ignore automatically detects and includes:
- Video conference links (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.)
- Location URLs
- Event notes and URLs
- Reminder links

No more manually copying details between apps. Set an alarm for your meeting, and access the join link instantly when it fires.

INSTANT LINK ACCESS

Add any link to your alarm. When it fires, tap "Open" to launch the link immediately - perfect for:
- Video conference meetings
- Important documents
- Location directions
- Online forms or registrations
- Flight check-ins
- Time-sensitive web pages

IN-APP ALARM MANAGEMENT

Even if you dismiss the full-screen alert, Cannot Ignore keeps you in control:
- See which alarms are currently alerting
- Stop alarms with one tap from within the app
- Open links directly from the alarm list
- Edit existing alarms anytime

### 5/5 — Love the custom sounds

*2026-08-16*

Great app. Works as describe. Seamless set up with the shortcut and syncing of calendar events. There are so so so many options to customize it too.

### 5/5 — Best Alarm app

*2026-06-28, version 2.1.0*

I never thought I would love an alarm app this much lol. I use it to help improve habits which I can do because unlike the native Apple alarm app which is limited to 24 hours for non-recurring alarms, Cannot Ignore lets me schedule alarms for any time in the future. The developer is responsive and even took on board a request that was extremely important to me. Thank you so much for making this surprisingly life changing (no exaggeration) app.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-05-08*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for years. I found one for android but then I switched to Apple phones so I was glad to find an app that does this. I could definitely use the help.

### 5/5 — Excellent Customer Service & Experience

*2026-04-28*

I had a few buggy issues with the app and reached out to support. I received an immediate response from Matt stating he was able to replicate the issue I was having and he had a bug fix released with in a few hours. The entire process was easy and not to mention how the pure existence of this app has made my life 100x easier. ADHD + endless work meetings = a recipe for disaster. I never miss anything now! Would 10/10 recommend.

### 1/5 — STILL Poor Reminders Implentation

*2026-03-14*

The app always stays active in the Dynamic Island. 

Seems like another kludgy way to keep this app running. 

I finally uninstalled.

**Developer response:** Edit: Other users and our own testing verifies that the app does not always stay running in the Dynamic Island. Could you send a video of what you’re seeing to hello@cephalopod.studio to pinpoint the issue so we can reproduce the bug?

We should also note that no shortcut is required to sync in realtime. As long as the app is not force quit, it will add alerts to Calendar Events and Reminders automatically.

Hello, we added more improvements to syncing. No requirement to play silent audio. Only that the user not force quit the app. Cannot Ignore syncs with Reminders and Calendar events in realtime. The app listens for any change in Calendars and Reminders, so that you don't have to even open Cannot Ignore to get your new alerts. (If a reminder does not have a date attached, it will not appear in Cannot Ignore, btw, if that’s an issue) If you would like some more back and forth troubleshooting, happy to help over at hell@cephalopod.studio!

### 1/5 — Poor Reminders Implentation

*2026-03-06*

App DOES NOT automatically sync with Reminders. 

App shouldn’t require a Shortcut to sync in real time with Reminders.

### 5/5 — Review-in-Progress

*2026-02-19*

I am just leaving this review as a place holder and will be comparing it to the built-in reminders app.

### 4/5 — Please Consider?

*2026-02-18*

Adding Alarms that repeat Monthly and the option to  schedule Extended Alarms to end or stop repeating on chosen date(s).

**Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback! Mind reaching out to us at hello@cephalopod.studio? Have some questions about how to work on Extended Alarms that would be most helpful. Thanks!
