I love the alarm feature, but it doesn’t delete canceled events from Google Calendar

Incredible app
This app brings true alarm like reminders to calendar events. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve requested this feature from Apple. Beacon Makes calendar events, reliable again.
Excellent Rules Implementation
This app has been huge for helping me ease out of deep focus work in a way that I don’t miss meetings and have actual time to prepare.
Beacon’s special sauce is its rules system that lets you predefine which calendar events automatically set alarms so you can set it up and forget it.
The recent update added a Shortcut action to Sync action which is helpful when paired with automations to ensure that beacon has the freshest calendar data from iOS. This is particularly helpful if you have a rapidly changing calendar on the same day and iOS isn’t always up to date
The developer does good responding to feedback as well and has implemented a few features I’ve asked for (including the one I mentioned above) to make the app better for me.

life saver for adhd

Works For Me
Works well for keeping me on schedule! It’s nice to have automated alarms.
Pricing is wild
$30 a year for something I went on to create as a shortcut is 🤯
Response from developer
I cut the price way down to $11/year and am actively working on features that go beyond what Shortcuts can do! This project initially began as a Shortcut that I created for myself as well. Send me an email at support@beaconcalendar.com and I'll send you a coupon code. I'd love to get your feedback.
Calendar reminders finally work
I’m a shift worker and work an irregular schedule and it’s always been a pain to schedule alarms in advance. I used to use shortcuts and galarm, alarmed that would trigger alarms getting scheduled but now this app makes it so much easier
