Hard Alert · Meety Pro
Hard Alert meeting reminders for calls that cannot be missed.
When a normal banner is not enough, Hard Alert puts the meeting, countdown, and join decision in front of you.
Hard Alert is a Pro feature. Use it selectively for important meetings.
What Hard Alert is
A stronger interruption, tied to a real calendar meeting.
Hard Alert is Meety's strongest reminder mode. It uses the meeting already in Google Calendar and presents a prominent countdown with a direct join action when the meeting begins.
It is designed for the small number of calls where losing track of time creates a bigger problem than a deliberate interruption.
Choose the right intensity
Hard Alert is useful because it is not the default for everything.
Match the interruption to the consequence of missing the meeting.
When a lighter prompt is enough.
- Routine internal meetings
- Flexible or optional calendar events
- Days when your schedule is already visible
- Calendars that should stay quiet by default
Control alert fatigue
Set intensity by calendar instead of making every event loud.
Per-calendar intensity connects Hard Alert to the way your schedule is organized. A client calendar can use stronger alerts while personal, focus, or lower-priority calendars stay balanced or off.
Reserve: choose the calendars where a missed start matters most.
Balance: use heads-up or standard reminders for ordinary meetings.
Review: reduce intensity if strong alerts become routine noise.

The calmer alternative
Use a heads-up when you need notice, not takeover.
The heads-up reminder gives you meeting context and a join action before the start. It fits routine calls and days when a timely prompt is enough to move you out of the current task.
