Best Apps to Remind You About Meetings on iPhone
The best meeting reminder app is not just the one that puts a date on your calendar. It is the one that actually gets your attention before it is too late.
What to look for in a meeting reminder app
Useful criteria include:
- •whether alerts are easy to miss
- •whether the app is built around calendar events
- •whether it supports multiple calendars
- •whether it can help with leave-time planning for in-person events
Common categories of reminder tools
Most options fall into three categories:
Standard calendar apps
Good for basic scheduling, but reminders are often passive notifications.

Useful for manual reminders and to-do items, but they are not always built around calendar-based meeting workflows.
OnTimer
