Read full descriptionHide full description
CalendarPunch turns the events already on your iPhone into prominent alarms, so the moments that matter are harder to miss. Choose exactly which events need an alarm. Add several lead times, set an alarm for the event start, or mirror supported alert times already saved in Calendar. CalendarPunch keeps Calendar as the source of truth and shows why each alarm will ring. Create reusable custom alarm times from 1 minute to 24 hours before an event. With CalendarPunch Pro, you can: • automatically add alarms with keyword or regular expression filters for event titles, locations, or notes • preview matching events and choose enabled calendars for each filter • reuse one alarm rule across a recurring event • choose which calendars are active • choose default alarm times for newly armed events • pause all alarms when you need a break CalendarPunch Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase—no subscription. Access to Calendar and Alarms is required for the app’s core features. CalendarPunch does not translate or rewrite your event titles or calendar names.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CalendarPunch at Free against Browser's $1.99. CalendarPunch also leads on ads (none vs shown). Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On device support there is nothing between them.
