Calendar notifications are too weak — a banner flashes by, and Silent or Focus mode silences it entirely. And the costliest things to miss aren't only meetings: appointments, interviews, flights, school pickups. MeetAlarm turns your meetings — and, if you choose, every timed event on your calendar — into real, system-level iOS 26 alarms: they must ring, full-screen, cutting through Silent and Focus. When one rings, you join the call or get directions in one tap. REAL ALARMS, NOT NOTIFICATIONS • Uses the iOS 26 system alarm engine — rings like your Clock alarm, even on Silent or Focus • Live countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Skip one meeting, or mute a whole recurring series JOIN IN ONE TAP • Detects links for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Tencent Meeting / VooV, Lark / Feishu, DingTalk, and FaceTime • Phone conferences: one tap dials in and enters the meeting code for you KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE (Pro) • For in-person meetings, MeetAlarm rings when it's time to leave — start time minus live travel time and a buffer MORE • Two-stage alarms: an early heads-up plus a hard alarm near the start (Pro) • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your next meetings with a live countdown • Siri & Shortcuts: "What's my next meeting?" / "Skip my next meeting" • Add by voice: say "Add an event in MeetAlarm" and Siri sets a real alarm in seconds • Dual time zones for cross-timezone meetings • Custom alarm sounds (Pro) • Manual events: a real alarm for anything not on your calendar — pickups, errands, one-off deadlines • Monthly recap: a shareable card of everything your alarms caught this month PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No server, no account, no analytics, no tracking — your meetings never leave your device • The network is used only for App Store purchases, the in-app map preview, and travel-time estimates (via Apple Maps and your location, only while the app is open) FREE & PRO Free: real alarms through Silent, one-tap join for every platform, dial-in, one calendar, meetings-only or every timed event (your choice), up to 2 manual events at a time, adjustable default lead time, map directions, dual time zones. Pro: unlimited calendars, per-calendar / per-meeting rules, leave-on-time travel alarms, two-stage alarms, custom sounds, unlimited manual events. Monthly, yearly, or one-time Lifetime.
