Rings even if your Mac is asleep Desktop
The desktop edition wakes a sleeping Mac to ring — just like the system's own alarms. Shut the lid the night before and still make your 9 a.m.
For macOS
Never miss a
meeting again.
Calendar Gnome arms a one-time alarm for every meeting on your calendar — automatically. When it's time, a gnome drops down and rings an alarm you can't ignore. And the desktop edition wakes your Mac from sleep to do it.
Free on the Mac App Store · Desktop edition wakes from sleep · macOS 14+
Three reasons you'll never sleep through a meeting.
An alarm you can't ignore
Not a notification you'll scroll past. A gnome drops down over every app — even full-screen — and rings, raising the volume even on mute, until you dismiss him.
Syncs and arms alarms for you
Pick the Apple Calendars to watch, once. Every meeting gets a one-time alarm automatically — no setup per event — kept in sync as your day changes.
Lives in your menu bar
Always armed and out of the way. Launch at login keeps it watching your calendar even when you haven't opened it.
Ring early, your way
Right at the start, or a few minutes before. Snooze when you need a moment. All-day events stay quiet.
Private by design
It reads your calendars on your Mac only, to set alarms. Nothing is collected, stored off-device, or sent anywhere. No account, no tracking.
Three steps, then forget it's there.

The gnome rings
When it's time, down he comes — sound and all — until you dismiss him.
Two ways to run it.
Same gnome, same calendar-watching. The desktop edition does the one thing the App Store's sandbox won't allow — wake your sleeping Mac.
