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. HOW PEAL TIMES EACH ALARM • 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 • It won't pile on: set a leave-by and the redundant "starting now" buzz is dropped YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE You choose what Peal does: turn on the kinds of reminders you want once, then change or turn off any single event. 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 own alarm system, 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.
