Love it!
This app is so intuitive! I love setting alarms in advance and even canceling alarms when I know I won’t be going to work a certain date. This is how alarms should be.
Works
Thanks for making the fixes. Very responsive devs ❤️
I need a way to exclude recurring all day events from alarms going forward the same way you can other events. Otherwise this app keep waking me up at midnight. Even better would be a setting to turn off all alarms for ANY all day events. I NEVER need an alarm for an all day event. Tapping on an all day event to access the usual settings isn’t possible, nothing happens.
Additionally, when adding an exclusion filter, it only suggests turning off the alarm “at time of event” and the rest must be manually entered which is quite tedious. Even when I manually add “skip alarm 10minutes before event” the alarm is still toggled on, only the alarm at time of event toggles off.
Managing exclusion filters is challenging. After you add them, the option to edit them disappears from the drop down menu. I can’t find a way to view or edit all existing filters from a single view.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! Just wanted to clarify a couple things. Unfortunately Apple doesn’t make the iPhone Clock alarm sounds available to third-party apps, otherwise I’d absolutely support them. For all-day events, turning off alarms for just that event is already supported from the Timeline view. You also found a bug though: the same long press isn’t working correctly from the List view. I’ll get that fixed. I put a lot of care into the app, so feedback like this really does help. If these clarifications/fixes change your experience with the app, I’d really appreciate you updating your review. And if you ever need anything, you can reach me directly at contact@todayplanned.com.
This is the Calendar Alarm app you’re looking for
Allows you to set daily alarms for calendar events. It even sets automatic alarms for repeating events like meetings and calls.
This is the App I rely on Most
I have been using this app for about 2-3 years. It’s the first true calendar to alarm app. iOS has a lot of roadblocks for developers, because i have tried many “alarm” apps. They didn’t work. Apple’s “ecosystem” must be too restrictive. This works for all of my iOS calendars. This is something i wish Apple would allow as a calendar setting, and every apple fanboy (without ADHD) will tell you there are “alerts” for that, which go in the same bucket as every other notification on your device, can easily be silenced by DND.
This app works. I don’t miss doctor’s appts anymore. I don’t miss meetings. If it’s in my calendar, my alarm goes off. I will set other alarms too like driving time, or “time to get ready”. When i started, you had to manually set alarms and that was kinda neat, unless i forgot. Now the developer automated that too. Seriously, this app is one of the best kept secrets in the app store. I hope apple doesn’t find out and block it. Seriously, i think it only works since it uses apple’s “shortcuts” which i think has more access than a normal app.
This issue had me considering leaving the apple ecosystem completely (aaand i guess i may be one of those fanboys since i have an ipad pro, iphone, airpods, macbook air, macbook mini, macbook pro and have had many others for about 15 years).
But seriously, i can’t say enough good things about this app. More than worth the tiny cost for this. Highly highly recommend.

Can’t live without it!
Finally an app that triggers alarms that you can actually hear and not just a silent notification you forget in a sec!
This app is just perfect! It plugs in your calendars and ring an alarm when you have events. You can’t miss meetings anymore!
