What is Pealo for Android?

Pealo for Android is in development. When it ships it will turn Google Calendar, Outlook and Exchange events into real alarms through the system alarm clock, so they ring past silent mode and Do Not Disturb with nothing left open. There is no Google Play release yet.

    Android asks once for permission to schedule exact alarms. After that Pealo never needs to be running.

Real alarms

Do Pealo alarms ring through Do Not Disturb on Android?

Yes. Android treats alarms as their own category, separate from notifications, and lets them through silent mode and Do Not Disturb by default. Pealo uses that category, so the sound arrives even when everything else is muted.

Silent ModeSilent Mode mutes every notification sound on the phone. It does not apply to alarms, and Pealo schedules alarms, so the sound arrives at full volume.
FocusFocus decides which notifications are allowed to appear at all. Alarms are outside that system, so a Pealo alarm rings during any Focus without an exception.
Do Not DisturbDo Not Disturb silences calls, banners and sounds. Alarms are the one category it lets through by design, which is exactly why Pealo uses them.
App closedOnce an alarm is scheduled it belongs to the operating system, not to the app. That is how the iPhone app behaves today: it can be closed, swiped away or not opened for a week and the alarm still fires.

Features

Everything Pealo does on Android

Built on the system alarm clock, not on notifications. The iPhone app already turns Google Calendar events into alarms, and the Android app will read the same accounts.

  • Real system alarms

    Scheduled with Android as exact alarms, so they behave like the clock app rather than a reminder.

  • Past Do Not Disturb

    Alarms are an allowed category, so they ring through DND and silent mode.

  • Full-screen alarm

    Takes over the lock screen with stop and snooze, however deep in another app you were.

  • Unlimited accounts

    Work Google, personal Google and an Outlook side by side, feeding one list of alarms.

  • Quiet hours

    A window where nothing rings, for events in timezones that are not yours.

  • Skip rules

    Ignore declined invitations, all-day entries and meetings shorter than you care about.

  • Home screen widget

    Next alarm and countdown on the home screen, no need to open anything.

  • Survives a reboot

    Alarms are rescheduled automatically after the phone restarts.

  • Battery friendly

    Calendar changes are pushed rather than polled, so nothing sits awake waiting.

Three controls

Lead time

One setting covers every event, from the moment it starts to a full hour ahead.

Meeting 9:00 → alarm 8:45

Quiet hours

A window where nothing rings, so a 6am event in another timezone stays silent.

Quiet 22:00 – 07:30

Skip rules

Ignore declined invitations, all-day entries and meetings shorter than you care about.

FAQ

Android questions

Will alarms ring through Do Not Disturb?

Yes. Android allows the alarm category through Do Not Disturb and silent mode by default, and Pealo will schedule real alarms rather than notifications.

Which permission will Pealo need?

Permission to schedule exact alarms, which Android will ask for once during setup. Without it the system cannot guarantee an alarm fires at the exact minute.

Will alarms survive a restart?

Yes. Pealo will reschedule its alarms after the phone reboots, so nothing is lost.

Which calendars will work on Android?

Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange and Office 365, with several accounts of the same kind allowed at once.

Will the Android app be a separate purchase from Apple?

Yes. Google Play and the App Store manage subscriptions separately, so an Android subscription would be bought through Google Play. No Android price has been set.

Will it drain the battery?

No. Calendar changes will be pushed to the app rather than polled, and alarms are handed to Android to fire, so nothing runs in the background waiting.
