Settings
Choose calendar sources, decide what the menu bar shows, control alerts, and create text replacements in one settings window.
There are other ways to handle meeting alerts on MacOS. Here's why they fall short.
Appear once and vanish. No persistent countdown, no join link, no at-a-glance view of what's coming next.
Full-screen alerts are eye-catching, but it only reads from Apple Calendar — no Google support, no multi-account setup.
Powerful launcher, but calendar alerts are a plugin, not the focus. Requires Raycast running at all times.
Beautiful full calendar app — but it's a full calendar replacement. If you're happy with Apple/Google Calendar, it's more than you need.
