My personal calendar only contains truly important events and I hate missing something when I forget about a notification. Is there an app (or iOS Calendar setting) that would make my phone vibrate and ring an alarm whenever an event starts? I would like it to be able to override silent and Do Not Disturb mode as well to be safe.

This is for iPhone 12 / iOS 15.

  • Note: not a duplicate of this question as I'm asking about third-party apps primarily, as the default Calendar app is not capable of doing this.

None of the apps on the App Store work well. I tried Calarm or CalAlarm.

What worked instead was creating a Shortcut. You can create an Automation to run the shortcut every day at 1:00am, and it loops through all events on your calendar and makes an alarm for all of them 10 minutes early with the calendar name.

Within the Shortcuts application, set scheduled automation at the start of every day. It only works for the 1st event of the day though.
