We’ve all been there. You’re in the middle of a deep scroll through cat memes or a heated email thread when a notification slides in at the top of your screen. You swipe it away, promising your brain you’ll remember to check it in five minutes.

Narrator: They did not remember.

Some things are too important to be ignored and that’s why we’re excited to highlight one of our newest features in Fantastical iOS – Urgent Alarms. 📢

What’s the Big Deal?

Urgent Alarms are designed to cut through the noise and help you stay focused. Here’s why they can be a real game-changer for boosting your productivity!

• Silence Breakers: Even if your phone is on mute or “Do Not Disturb,” these alerts can bypass the silence and ring out.
• The “Stay-Put” Factor: They won’t just vanish into the Notification Center graveyard. They stay front-and-center until you actually deal with them.
• Visual Priority: They look different, feel different, and demand the respect your high-priority events and tasks deserve.

When to Use the “Nuclear Option” ☢️

Urgent Alarms are obviously not necessary for everything, you probably don’t need one for “Buy more kale”, but you definitely need one for:

Stop Missing. Start Doing.
