Cue
Your Mac won't let you forget.
Built on native macOS APIs (EventKit) — Windows and Linux aren't possible for this app.
Cue takes over every screen — every connected monitor, over full-screen apps, across every Space — when something important is about to happen. Normal notifications slide into a corner and die; this one you can't miss.
