DoNotMissIt
Notifications are easy to miss.
This isn't.
DoNotMissIt sits in your Mac's menu bar. Shortly before each meeting, it covers every display with a card showing the meeting and a live countdown. Press Return to join the call, or Esc to dismiss.
For macOS Tahoe 26 or later.

On every screen
Shortly before the start, a card covers every display. It finds the join link in the event's URL, location or notes, so Return takes you straight into the call.

Running late
Once the start time has passed, the ring turns red and counts up, so you know exactly how late you are.
Try it: open Daily Standup · 8m in the menu bar at the top of this page and pick a meeting.
The details
It reads the calendars already on your Mac, so iCloud, Google, Exchange and any other account you've added in System Settings all work.
Meetings
- Join links
- Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Whereby and GoTo.

- Same start time
- Events starting together are combined into one alert.
- Two calendars
- A meeting that appears in both only alerts once.

- After sleep
- If a meeting started in the last 5 minutes while your Mac was asleep, it alerts when you wake it.

Private
The app has no analytics, no advertising and no accounts. It doesn't collect, store or transmit any personal data, and it runs in Apple's App Sandbox with no permission to use the network.
Open source
The code is public under the MIT licence, so you can check that for yourself, or build it from source.
