Hmm... I believe Shortcuts could be leverage to do the same? The only thing I'm not sure of is whether Shortcuts can pull the event time and use that to set the timer. Edited: Just checked, seem possible.

I actually used a shortcut to do this very task for years. Once I saw that iOS 26 was introducing alarmKit I started working on this. Here's the link to my old shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6371054286bd4b6688ad89fbe5a...

What I need is to be able to blacklist alarms on a calendar. If I have that day marked as a holiday, I don't want my alarms going off. If I turn them off for the three day weekend, I inevitably forget to turn them back on for Tuesday. I have a calendar that has all these days marked, but no way to do this in a convenient manner. Can your stuff do this?

If you have holidays in a specific calendar you can exclude that calendar from the showing up in the agenda at all through the setting tab > select calendars.

The app looks good and i like the idea of not ignorable fullscreen reminders but a 35€/year subscription is too much for me… Just to mention it, there is a macOS app called Dato which can do the same (fullscreen notifications) but on mac. https://sindresorhus.com/dato

Lots of comments on the pricing, which I figured was pretty agressive. Will be dropping it down to $15/year
