## What is Dingly?

Dingly reads the calendars you choose and rings a real alarm before each meeting, so you're never caught off guard.

- Real alarms: Dingly uses the same system alarms as the Clock app, so they ring even when your iPhone is on silent or in a Focus, and even if Dingly isn't open.
- Two alerts per meeting: 15 minutes and 1 minute before by default. Change either one.
- Meetings that start at the same time share one alarm.
- Snooze or stop right from the alarm.
- Skip a single meeting with a swipe; it won't ring on any of your devices.
- Join Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Webex calls right from the list or the countdown.
- A countdown to your next meeting in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, in your calendar's color. It appears with the first alarm, keeps counting down to the last one, and goes away when you stop it. Only ever one per meeting.
- Choose from a set of pleasant alarm sounds.
- Ignore meetings by keyword (like "lunch"), skip weekends, and pick which calendars to watch.
- See your meetings for the days ahead, and keep up with your calendar automatically. A Shortcuts action can sync it any time.
- Pause for a vacation, get a morning summary, ask Siri or use the widget to join or skip a meeting, and get a warning if a meeting's video link changes.
- Add a short note to any meeting; it shows highlighted on its alarm and countdown.
- Ring earlier for the meetings that need it: choose a first alert for one meeting, a whole series, or every meeting with a keyword like "kid pickup".
- Works on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Requires iOS 26.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.5 — 2026-10-27

- Befoor is now Dingly. Same app, new name.
- Meeting notes: touch and hold a meeting and tap Add Note. Your note shows highlighted on its row, its alarm and the countdown — handy for follow-ups or things to bring up.
- Ring earlier for the meetings that need it: touch and hold a meeting and pick First Alert for just that meeting or its whole series, or set Keyword Alerts in Settings (for example, "kid pickup" rings 45 minutes before).
- Made for iPhone Duo: Dingly works on both screens and in any orientation, and its countdown fits the side Dynamic Island.
- Fixed: after you stopped the first alarm, the countdown sometimes didn't appear.

### 4.4 — 2026-10-20

- Pause for a vacation: Settings → Pause turns alarms off until the date you pick, then they come back on their own.
- Video link warnings: if a meeting's Zoom, Meet or Teams link is removed or changed, you see it in the list and on the countdown, plus a notification when the meeting is less than two hours away.
- Back-to-back meetings: an alert that comes while another meeting is still going vibrates first and only plays its sound after 15 seconds.
- Ask Siri "When's my next meeting in Befoor", "Join my next Befoor meeting" or "Skip my next meeting in Befoor".
- The Home Screen widget now has Join and Skip buttons.
- Morning summary: an optional quiet notification with how many meetings you have and when the first one starts.
- Test Alert at the bottom of Settings rings a test alarm in 10 seconds.
- More ignored keywords out of the box: OOO, Out of office, Focus time, Do not book, Commute and Travel time.
- Fixed: notifications that arrived while Befoor was open didn't stay in Notification Center.

### 4.3 — 2026-10-15

- Skip a single meeting: swipe left on it (or touch and hold) and tap Skip. It won't ring on any of your devices.
- Join video calls: meetings with a Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Webex link get a Join button in the list and on the countdown.
- The list now shows your meetings for the days ahead, not just today.
- A warning now appears if alarms are off, or if some meetings can only get notifications, which don't ring on silent.
- New Sync Befoor action in Shortcuts: run it from an automation to catch meetings added while Befoor is closed.

### 4.2 — 2026-10-14

- Fixed: an alert could ring twice and show two cards for the same meeting.
- Only one card per meeting: the alarm itself now shows the countdown, with the meeting, its location and your calendar's color. After you stop the first alert it keeps counting down and rings again at the last alert, then goes away when you stop that one.
- New app icon, also shown in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.

- Meetings that start at the same time now share one alarm and one countdown.
- The meeting countdown appears with the first alarm, now uses your calendar's color, and goes away 10 minutes after the meeting starts.
- If a meeting moves to a new time, its countdown and any snoozed alarm for the old time go away.
