## What is Peal?

Peal does the timing. You do the day.

Most alarm apps buzz before every event the same way. Peal reads your calendar and times each alarm to the kind of event it is, then leaves the choice to you. Your better, timelier self—so you can be a regular human.

WHAT THE ENGINE DOES
• A flight gets you moving earlier, earlier still if it's international
• An in-person meeting gets a leave-by alarm timed to the drive, traffic included; a video call gets a shorter heads-up, since you aren't going anywhere
• A birthday becomes a friendly morning reminder, not a midnight buzz
• A daily standup collapses to one alarm, not fourteen
• It won't pile on: set a leave-by and the redundant "starting now" buzz is dropped

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE
Some of this Peal offers as suggestions you tap to accept. Some, like leave-by reminders, you switch on once and let run. Nothing happens until you choose it.

SET ONE IN SECONDS, OR BY VOICE
Dictate an alarm and Peal works out the time and the repeat on your phone: "every third Thursday, team lunch." It also handles repeats the built-in Clock can't: every other week, the last day of the month, yearly.

ALARMS TIED TO A PLACE
Ring when you arrive somewhere or leave it: grab the dry cleaning on the way home, send a text when you land. The place is watched on your phone, never on a server.

RINGS LIKE THE SYSTEM CLOCK
Built on Apple's AlarmKit, so alarms sound through Silent, Do Not Disturb, and Focus, with a full-screen alert and Apple Watch support.

HELPFUL WHEN YOUR MEMORY NEEDS THE HELP
The alarms that matter most are the ones you forget to set. Peal offers them from the day you actually have. That helps anyone, and it's a real hand for some people with ADHD or time-blindness.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. Peal has no servers; your alarms, your calendar, and your locations stay on your iPhone. Every feature is free.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.132 — 2026-08-04

This update is all about speed and polish.

• Much faster, smoother alarm lists, and the app responds more quickly when you open it.
• In-person event reminders now appear right away instead of taking a minute or two to load.
• Tidier event-alarm settings: all your reminders in one place. Add as many "remind me before" times as you like, all tied to the event so they move with it.
• Turn any reminder off for a single event or the whole series, and give no-location events a reminder too, including one right at the event's start.
• Plenty of reliability fixes and clearer wording throughout.

### 1.0.131 — 2026-08-02

Settings reorganized so daily-use controls come first and the test alarm sits right under Permissions as its verification step; the Calendar section merged into Permissions, with an in-app Connect while access has never been asked. Birthday/anniversary rows now swipe to turn off per person—swiping a heads-up silences just that person's heads-up, swiping the day-of reminder turns that person off. Cold launches now paint the day view instantly from the last session's rows while the live calendar load refreshes underneath.
