# MeetingWarning: full-screen meeting reminder for Mac

MeetingWarning covers every screen a minute before your next call, with one big button to join it. Notifications slide by. This doesn't.

$5.99 once on the Mac App Store (coming soon). No subscription. macOS 14 or later. Join the waitlist: email hello@meetingwarning.app with "waitlist" in the subject.

## How it works

1. **Connect your calendars.** Sign in with Google, or use the calendars already on your Mac: iCloud, Microsoft 365, Exchange, Outlook.com. Add as many accounts as you have.
2. **A minute before, every screen.** When a call is about to start, the alert covers every display, even over full-screen apps, with the meeting name and a live countdown.
3. **Press Return to join.** Return opens Meet, Zoom or Teams straight away. Esc dismisses it. Snooze gives you one more minute.

## The menu bar

Today and tomorrow, one click away. Each meeting is marked will or won't alert, with the reason ("no call link", "declined", "focus time"). From the menu you can join the next meeting, skip one meeting, choose Alert me anyway for one your rules would skip, or mute a repeating meeting.

## Only the meetings that need you

All-day events, focus time and out-of-office blocks never trigger it. By default it also skips meetings without a call link and meetings you declined. Optionally skip meetings with no one else invited, meetings marked free, or titles with words you choose. Your main calendar is on; shared and team calendars are off until you switch them on. Pause for an hour or the rest of the day.

## Works with

## FAQ

### Which calendars does it work with?

Google Calendar directly, including Google Workspace, with as many accounts as you like. It can also use every calendar in the Mac's Calendar app: iCloud, Microsoft 365 and Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Fastmail and any CalDAV account you've added in System Settings → Internet Accounts. A meeting that shows up in two places is only shown once.

### Does it work with Outlook and Microsoft Teams?

Yes, through the Calendar app: add your Microsoft account in System Settings → Internet Accounts, then turn on the Calendar app in MeetingWarning's Settings. Teams links in invites open with one click. A direct Outlook sign-in, for companies that block Internet Accounts, is planned.

### Does it work with several screens?

Yes. The alert covers every connected display, and Join and Dismiss work from the main one.

### What if I'm presenting or in a full-screen app?

It still appears, because that's the point. If you don't want it for a while, pause it from the menu bar for an hour or for the rest of the day.

### Can I choose which meetings take over my screen?

Yes. The menu bar shows today's and tomorrow's meetings, each marked as will or won't alert, with the reason. Skip a single meeting, mute a repeating one, or choose Alert me anyway for one your rules would skip. Meetings without a call link, meetings you declined, focus time, out of office and all-day events are skipped by default.

### Can I choose how early it shows up?

Yes: when the meeting starts, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes before, or any custom time up to an hour.

### Does MeetingWarning see what's in my meetings?

It reads the title, time, location, your response, who's invited, the notes and the call link, so it can decide whether to show the alert, open the right call and show the meeting's details when you ask. That stays on your Mac and is never sent to us or anyone else. Calendar access is read-only.

### How much does it cost?

$5.99 once on the Mac App Store, with updates included. No subscription, no account. It needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
