Pealo or Calarm?

Calarm and Pealo both turn calendar events into real iOS alarms that ring on silent. Calarm reads the Apple Calendar app, so it sees only what has been mirrored into it. Pealo connects Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud directly and supports several accounts of the same kind. If everything already lives in Apple Calendar, Calarm is solid.

Pealo compared with Calarm, updated September 2026. Calarm details come from its public App Store listing on that date and may have changed since; a cell marked Not stated means the listing does not say.

When is Calarm the better fit?

An honest split. Calarm does one thing well and there are people for whom that is exactly enough. Calarm and Pealo are two rows of the full nine-app comparison of calendar alarm options, which adds Beacon, Fantastical and the rest.

Pick Calarm if you only use Apple Calendar

One iCloud calendar, no Google or Outlook, and no need for anything to leave the device. Calarm covers that cleanly.

Pick Pealo if you have a Google or Outlook account

Pealo reads them directly. Mirroring a Google account into Apple Calendar works, but depends on the iPhone’s fetch schedule and adds a point of failure.

Pick Pealo for two accounts of the same kind

Work Google plus personal Google is a normal setup. Pealo treats them as separate sources with separate rules.

Both ring the same way

Both use AlarmKit system alarms, so Silent Mode, Focus and volume behave identically.
