Ahem! Unmissible Full-screen Meeting Reminders

Hey everyone! I'm the solo dev of Ahem! It launched today, so I'm excited to finally share it.

Problem:

Meeting reminders can be very easy to miss or ignore for some of us.

Ahem! started as a tool for my wife to help not miss meeting reminders due to her ADD. I found it super useful for myself too, I'm a remote game designer and would regularly be late for meetings after missing notifications while in deep focus on an editor or spreadsheet task, usually with music blasting through my headphones.

After a lot of positive reception and encouragement from friends and colleagues, I decided to actually try ship it. So after venturing slightly out of my game dev comfort zone, here I am!

What it does:

• Meeting reminders trigger a full screen overlay, with join buttons for over 20 video call services
• Includes a full day timeline, and can be opened via a hotkey
• Only reads your calendar data and never edits it
• Handy widgets for your desktop.

There's no Ahem account to create and no tracking or telementry. Your calendar data is your business, not mine.

I've been using it for months now and its become part of my working day. Just being able to hit the Return key when a meeting reminder opens to join a call is satisfying.

Comparison:

In Your Face is probably the closest comparison, with full-screen meeting alerts and join buttons. It currently supports more video conferencing services.

Ahem combines full-screen reminders with a full-day timeline you can bring up with a hotkey. The other big difference is price: the regular US Mac price is $6.99 as a one-time purchase, compared with In Your Face’s $69 one-time desktop licence.

I wanted an affordable tool that handles the meeting reminders my wife and I kept missing, without tracking or a recurring bill.

Pricing:

The regular US Mac price is $6.99, paid once, with no subscription. There's 20% off through the website for launch, bringing the US price to $5.59. Regional pricing is available.

One-time purchase. US price is $6.99

Bonus:

An iOS companion launched alongside it for when you're on the go, with meeting join buttons in Lock Screen Live Activities, Dynamic Island peaking, and widgets for your Home Screen and StandBy.

This solved another problem for me, I do the school pickup on foot and sometimes have calls to join on my phone. Having the reminder and join button right there on the Lock Screen has proven SUPER useful!

Happy to answer questions. I'd also like to hear from anyone who has the same problem and what has worked for you.
