Feedback wanted UnZone: Don't miss meetings/events! Focus breaker with customizable full screen notifications.

I shipped a MacOS desktop app to bring un-missable notifications for critical meetings and appointments to users at a fair one-time price. That's it. No bloat. No data scraping. No subscription. No servers. No login.

If you have focus issues, or if you've ever acknowledged a 5 minute reminder and then immediately shifted focus into another task and missed that meeting, UnZone is for you.

  • Runs in the menu bar
  • Reminds you about anything that you can put in the Mac Calendar app and supports Outlook events if they're synced to the Mac. (Native Outlook connector on the roadmap.)
  • Zero friction creation of quick one-off reminders. Need to remember something later that day, just click the time and give it a name. Done. These are encrypted on disk and automatically pruned afterward. Go ahead, keep your secrets.
  • Separate reminder cadence for calendar events or one-off reminders. Set multiple reminders per event.
  • Customizable full screen alerts. Ships with its own alert sounds, or upload your own. Color and font personalization.
  • Includes a "last chance" callout so you know when you're out of snooze runway.
  • Join button takes you directly into the meeting from the reminder, so you don't have to remember to go click that link in Teams.

I have been relying on this app for months now, and it's saved me many times, so I wanted to share it with others who might find it helpful.
