Reminders and settings
Choose when the plane flies by, pick your plane, and set Quiet Hours and privacy options.
Open the menu bar icon and choose Open Settings to change any of these options.
When the plane flies by
Choose one or more reminder times: 15, 10, 5, 2, or 1 minute before an event, or as it starts. The defaults are 5 minutes and 1 minute.
Each calendar can use its own reminder times, or have reminders turned off.
Which events get a reminder
- Timed events, including invitations that are tentative or not answered yet
- Not all-day events, canceled events, or invitations you declined
- Not events that have already started
The same reminder never appears twice.
Pick your plane
Choose a Cessna, a jet, a floatplane, or a biplane, each with matching banner colors, or Random for a different plane every time. To see it, choose Show Plane Preview from the menu bar.
Quiet Hours
Turn on Quiet Hours, 10 PM to 7 AM to pause flybys, sounds, and notification backups overnight.
Privacy
Turn on Hide event titles to show a generic reminder instead of the event name. Titles are also hidden automatically while you mirror or share your screen.
Final backup
Two optional signals for the last reminder, both off by default:
- A sound
- A Notification Center notification
Both stay silent during Quiet Hours.
The Events menu
Open the menu bar icon and choose Events to see ongoing and upcoming events. For each event you can:
- Join the meeting from its link
- Snooze 5 Minutes
- Dismiss This Occurrence
Appearance
The settings window can follow your Mac, or always use light or dark appearance.
