Calarmiq vs Beacon

Do you often miss calendar notifications because they are just a simple "ding"? Do you forget to set alarms for important meetings, classes, or deadlines? Calarmiq bridges the gap between your Calendar and your Alarm Clock. It automatically scans your chosen calendars and creates actual ringing alarms for every event. It is the "set it and forget it" solution for anyone who needs more than a gentle nudge. WHY CALARMIQ? For many of us, a standard calendar notification isn't enough. It appears for a second and disappears, or gets lost in a sea of other alerts. Calarmiq ensures your schedule grabs your attention by turning every event into a persistent alarm that rings until you acknowledge it. PERFECT FOR: * ADHD & Memory Support: If "out of sight, out of mind" is a struggle, Calarmiq is your safety net. You don't need to remember to set an alarm for every appointment—it just happens automatically. * Deep Focus Workers: When you are in the zone, a silent banner notification is easy to ignore. A ringing alarm breaks through the noise to ensure you make that meeting. * Busy Professionals & Students: Manage back-to-back schedules with confidence. KEY FEATURES: * Zero-Effort Automation Instantly syncs with your existing device calendars (iCloud, Google, Outlook, etc.). No need to re-enter data. Just enable the calendars you want, and you're done. * Real Alarms, Not Just Notifications Triggers a persistent ringing sound that cuts through distractions, even when your device is locked or in Do Not Disturb mode (depending on settings). * Complete Control * Selective Sync: Choose exactly which calendars to track (e.g., enable "Work" and "Classes", but ignore "Holidays"). * Custom Timing: Set alarms to ring exactly when you need them—at the event time, or 5, 10, 15 minutes before. * Smart Snooze: Need a few more minutes? Snooze alarms directly from the lock screen notification without unlocking your phone. * Privacy First & Offline Your schedule is personal. Calarmiq works 100% on-device. We do not require you to create an account, we do not store your data on any server, and we do not track your activity. It works perfectly offline. * Premium Experience Enjoy a modern, beautiful interface with glassmorphism styling, dark mode support, and intuitive interactions. No ads, no subscriptions, just a reliable tool that works. Stop worrying about missing what's next. Let Calarmiq remember for you.

Your to-do list keeps growing, time keeps slipping, and starting feels impossible. Beacon is the calm, ADHD-friendly way to finally get things done, one gentle step at a time. Beacon is a reminders app built for the way real brains actually work, especially brains that get overwhelmed by long lists, lose track of time, or freeze at the thought of beginning. Think of it as a calm external brain: it remembers, times, and shrinks your tasks, so you do not have to hold it all in your head. WHY BEACON FEELS DIFFERENT One thing at a time. Beacon shows your next action, not your entire backlog. Less overwhelm, more starting. Time you can actually see. Every task has a calm countdown, so "later" stops turning into "too late." No red alarms, no panic. Kind on the hard days. Miss something? There is no shaming OVERDUE, no broken streak, no guilt. Beacon reframes gently and celebrates every win, the small ones too. Shrink the first step. Any task can collapse into a two-minute starting move, so the hardest part, beginning, gets easier. Park it, guilt-free. Not ready today? Set a task aside in the Parking Lot and Beacon brings it back softly when the time is right. Nothing gets lost. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY USE Beacon sits on top of Apple Reminders and Calendar, so you keep everything you already rely on. Say a reminder to Siri and it shows up in Beacon, sorted and doable. Check it off in Beacon and it syncs right back. No migration, no starting over. WHAT YOU GET Smart capture: brain-dump a messy thought and Beacon finds the task and the time for you. Focus timer and body-double sessions to help you start and keep going. Energy tags to match tasks to how you actually feel right now. Gentle, well-timed nudges instead of a wall of notifications. Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen Live Activities, and an Apple Watch app, so your next step is always a glance away. Private by design: no account, no tracking, no cloud sync. The only thing Beacon ever sends is an anonymous crash report. WHO IT IS FOR Beacon was made for people with ADHD, and that turns out to be a lot of us: anyone who has felt buried by their own list, lost time without meaning to, or been too hard on themselves for it.
