### 5/5 — This is the Calendar Alarm app you’re looking for

*2026-07-21*

Allows you to set daily alarms for calendar events. It even sets automatic alarms for repeating events like meetings and calls.

### 5/5 — This is the App I rely on Most

*2026-06-26*

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.

### 5/5 — Can’t live without it!

*2026-06-16*

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!

### 5/5 — What on Earth!

*2026-06-11*

Would love to bring a 10 stars ⭐️ but obviously can’t! 
The app is super reliable, and is my main app to keep track of my very complex calendar (work + personal) and the schedule of my autistic child (equally complex) and the many things I have to keep track daily. Now (version 4) it added “Things” a great tool to capture scans, photos, sketches, notes and stickies which can be organized in folders! This is the stop and go for anyone who wants an organized agenda/planner! Kudos to the developer(s)! Keep it up! 👍🏽

### 5/5 — 申しわけありません。知りませんでした。

*2026-06-05*

おかげさまで。月曜始まりに出来ました。ゴメンナサイ。

### 4/5 — 週の始まりの曜日を選びたい

*2026-06-02*

日程が「こと」で、その内容が「もの」というのが、いい。
「いつ」についても重要ですが、視認性を考えると、週の始まりは、人によって違います。
週の始まりを指定で来ると、重宝します。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。

週の開始曜日はすでにサポートされています。Today Planned は iPhone のシステム設定に従います。

以下から変更できます。

設定 → 一般 → 言語と地域 → 週の開始曜日

設定を変更した後、Today Planned を再起動すると新しい設定が反映されます。

うまくいかない場合やご質問がありましたら、お気軽に contact@todayplanned.com まで私までご連絡ください。喜んでお手伝いします。

よろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2026-05-30*

I would regularly miss appointments. I wanted a way to be reminded about important events in a way that I couldn’t ignore without having to manually set up alarms each time. This app was exactly what I was seeking. It syncs with your calendar and then does an alarm to remind you. Not a notification or email, but a true alarm. Easy to set up and the advanced filters make it easy to configure your events. Highly recommended, especially if you focus hard and then miss important things.

### 5/5 — It’s almost perfect.

*2026-05-15*

UI is simple, clean yet it’s powerful. My single request would be having Reminders integrated into the calendar view. That would make me delete every other single “productivity” app. 😅 Kudos to the developer(s)!

### 5/5 — No more missed meetings

*2026-02-19*

Absolutely love this must-have app. Not proud of it, but when WFH and you’re not always in front of your desk, you can lose track of time and be late to meetings. If you’ve found yourself in such a situation before, this app will be a godsend for you. It creates alarms for the meetings in the day, and makes sure to get your attention. Amazing functionality, amazing value.
