Every display

Above the menu bar and Dock, on all your monitors at once.

One-key Join

Meet, Zoom, and Teams links found automatically. Return joins.

Snooze or pause

Until it starts, for an hour, or for the rest of the day.

No server

Read-only Google access, cached on your Mac. Privacy.

Built for time blindness

If normal alarms worked for you, you wouldn't be here

Notifications land in the corner you've learned to ignore. So you either lose the afternoon to hyperfocus, or spend it in waiting mode. NeverL8 interrupts once, loudly, then leaves.

Questions

Does it work when Focus mode is on?

Yes. The overlay is a window drawn above the menu bar and Dock, not a notification, so Focus and Do Not Disturb don't swallow it. The optional chime respects your system volume.

What can NeverL8 see in my calendar?

Read-only access to the calendars you pick, for the next 24 hours. There is no NeverL8 server — events are cached on your Mac and your Google token lives in the macOS Keychain.

Outlook or iCloud calendars?

Not yet — Google Calendar only. If you subscribe to your work calendar inside Google Calendar, those events come through. Join opens Meet, Zoom, and Teams links, or any https link in the invite.

What if it fires during a screen share?

Press esc, or mute that meeting from the menu beforehand. You can also pause all reminders for an hour or the rest of the day.

Stop apologising for being late
