About

Befoor

Features
Read full description

Befoor reads the calendars you choose and rings a real alarm before each meeting, so you're never caught off guard. - Real alarms: Befoor uses the same system alarms as the Clock app, so they ring even when your iPhone is on silent or in a Focus, and even if Befoor isn't open. - Two alerts per meeting: 15 minutes and 1 minute before by default. Change either one. - Meetings that start at the same time share one alarm. - Snooze or stop right from the alarm. - Skip a single meeting with a swipe; it won't ring on any of your devices. - Join Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Webex calls right from the list or the countdown. - A countdown to your next meeting in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, in your calendar's color. It appears with the first alarm, keeps counting down to the last one, and goes away when you stop it. Only ever one per meeting. - Choose from a set of pleasant alarm sounds. - Ignore meetings by keyword (like "lunch"), skip weekends, and pick which calendars to watch. - See your meetings for the days ahead, and keep up with your calendar automatically. A Shortcuts action can sync it any time. - Works on iPhone and iPad, in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Requires iOS 26.

About

Deadline Countdown

Read full description

A missed deadline is never small. The payment that turns into a late fee. The passport that expires the month you need it. The filing that blows the case. Deadline Docket is the docket for those dates — the obligations you cannot afford to lose track of. Open it and the answer is immediate: what is overdue, what is due today, tomorrow, and what is next. No digging, no feed, no noise. USE IT FOR • Bills and payments with hard due dates • Passport, license, and registration renewals • Court and filing deadlines • Forms, applications, and submissions • Appointments you cannot miss • Any obligation that needs one clear place to live HOW IT WORKS • Add a deadline in seconds — name, date, done • Everything grouped the way you triage: Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, Next • Scan the whole docket at a glance and act • Your deadlines stay on your device SIMPLE ON PURPOSE This is not a party countdown app, a calendar replacement, or a project-management suite. No account. No feed. No social layer. A docket does one job: nothing on it gets forgotten. SIMPLE PRICING One purchase — 99Ā¢ in the U.S. (pricing varies by region). No subscription. No ads. Nothing recurring. Pay once and keep your deadlines in front of you. https://myworkingmemory.ai/deadlinedocket-privacy.html https://myworkingmemory.ai/deadlinedocket-terms.html
