Everything people ask about Pealo

It reads the calendars you connect and schedules a real system alarm before each event, so you get a sound you cannot miss without setting anything by hand.

Yes. Pealo schedules system alarms, and iOS lets alarms through Silent Mode, Focus and Do Not Disturb.

No. Calendars sync in the background and alarms are handed to the operating system, so they fire even when the app has been closed for days.

Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange, Office 365 and iCloud, plus the iPhone Calendar app. Several accounts of the same kind are allowed.

Yes. A work account and a personal account can be connected at the same time and both feed one list of alarms.

You pick a lead time from the start of the meeting up to an hour before, and you can override it per calendar.

The alarm moves with it, usually within seconds. Cancelled meetings lose their alarm automatically.

Yes. One tap skips the next alarm and leaves the rest of the day untouched.

Yes. Switch off whole sub-calendars and skip declined invitations, all-day entries and meetings shorter than a length you choose.

A window where nothing rings. Useful when a calendar in another timezone would otherwise wake you at five in the morning.

Yes. Once scheduled, an alarm lives on the device. A connection is only needed to pick up new calendar changes.

No. Calendar changes are pushed rather than polled, and alarms are handed to the operating system, so nothing sits awake waiting.

Yes. A live count to the next alarm appears on the Lock Screen and, on iPhone, in the Dynamic Island.

Only one alarm rings. Pealo detects duplicates across connected accounts.

iPhone today, on iOS 26.1 or later — Pealo uses AlarmKit, which Apple introduced in iOS 26, so earlier versions cannot schedule a real alarm. iPad, Mac, Android and the free web app are in development, each with a waiting list.

It will. Universal Purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac under one Apple ID, so the iPhone subscription will unlock the iPad and Mac apps when they ship. Android pricing is not announced, because the Android app is still in development.

$9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, both with a 7-day free trial. The yearly plan is 58% cheaper than monthly.

After the 7-day trial ends. Cancel before then and you are not charged.

Through App Store subscription settings, or Google Play on Android. Access continues to the end of the paid period.

Yes. There is a full set of tones with previews, so a meeting alarm can sound different from your morning one.

Yes. The sound starts quiet and reaches full volume over twenty seconds, then keeps going until you stop it.

There is no separate Watch app. Because Pealo creates native alarms, they behave like your usual alarm clock.

Yes. Connected calendars, lead time, quiet hours and skip rules follow your account.

No, on any plan, including the free web app.
