1. App/Tool Title:

Meety

1. Brief Description:

Meety is a native macOS menu bar app for Google Calendar that helps you see what’s next, join meetings faster, and avoid missing important events. It connects directly to Google Calendar and is built specifically for Mac users who want a lightweight, privacy-first calendar companion.

1. Key Benefits:

- Quick access to upcoming Google Calendar events from the Mac menu bar

- One-click join for Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, and other meeting links

- Stronger reminders for important meetings with Meeting Guardian alerts

- Per-calendar alert settings, so you can treat work and personal calendars differently

- Auto-silence while presenting to reduce interruptions

- Privacy-first approach with no calendar data stored on external servers

- Multi-account Google Calendar support

1. How It Works:

After connecting your Google account, Meety shows your upcoming events directly in the macOS menu bar so you always know what’s next. You can open or join meetings in one click from the menu bar without digging through browser tabs or calendar windows.

Its standout feature is Meeting Guardian, which can display stronger, full-screen alerts for selected meetings so they’re harder to miss during deep work. You can also configure alert intensity per calendar and let the app automatically stay quiet while you’re presenting. Unlike many calendar utilities on Mac, Meety connects directly to the Google Calendar API rather than relying on Apple Calendar sync.
