Calendar Banner

A plane tows your next meeting across the screen.

SHIPPED

A macOS menu-bar app that flies an airplane-towed banner across every screen to remind you of a meeting. It reads the system Calendar, so any Google, Zoho, iCloud, or Exchange account already set up is picked up automatically.

The problem

Meeting notifications are polite little rectangles, and focus eats them. Ten minutes later the meeting has started without you.

The solution

An airplane tows the next meeting across every screen. It reads the system Calendar, so every account you already sync is covered.
