Google Calendar in your menu bar: quick join for meetings, reminders you can actually trust, and two-way sync for creating/editing events—built privacy-first for macOS.
Hey Product Hunt! I built Meety because I wanted Google Calendar to be instantly accessible without living in a browser tab—and I kept missing meetings during deep work.
What Meety does:
• Menu bar view of your calendar + live countdown
• One-click join for meeting links
• Calm reminders, plus optional full-screen “Hard Alerts” (Pro)
• Create & edit events that sync back to Google Calendar
• Privacy-first: the app experience runs on your Mac
I’d love feedback on:
- Which reminder style is most useful (Soft vs Balanced vs Hard)?
- Is the pricing/packaging clear for Free vs Pro?
- What’s the #1 feature you’d need to switch from your current setup?

Great app, thanks. Right now I go into Google Calendar every time to create a meeting; I don’t like the native Mac calendar.
@mykyta_semenov_ Thank you that you enjoy my app :) I appreciate it.

Congrats on 2.0! Menu bar calendar + one-click join is exactly what Mac users need. Hard Alerts for deep work? Genius. Privacy-first approach is a big plus!
Many users already have “good enough” options (built-in Calendar notifications, Itsycal, MeetingBar). What’s the one capability or outcome where Meety is meaningfully better, and what’s your best evidence that it drives switching rather than just being a nice-to-have?
@curiouskitty Totally fair question — “good enough” is real in this category.
For Meety the meaningful difference isn’t “another menu bar calendar”, it’s reliability of showing up to the right meeting on time when you’re deep in work. Quick Join is the obvious surface feature, but the bigger outcome is: fewer missed/late meetings.
Where it’s better vs Itsycal/MeetingBar + default notifications:
Hard Alerts (Pro): full-screen, impossible-to-miss alert with a big Join button + snooze. Default notifications are easy to ignore when you’re focused or in Do Not Disturb.
Reminder rules per calendar: Off / Soft / Balanced / Hard, so you can keep “noise” calendars quiet and make only critical ones disruptive.
Context-aware options: e.g. skip alerts while presenting/screen-sharing.
Evidence so far: early users who self-identify with “time blindness”, heavy meeting load, or deep work are the ones converting to Pro and telling me it replaced their previous setup because “I stopped missing/being late” (same reason they highlight Hard Alerts and Quick Join).
If you’re using built-in notifications and never miss meetings, you probably won’t switch — Meety is designed for the segment where “good enough” still fails.

Congrats on the launch! I really like the idea of pulling the calendar out of the browser and into a calm, always-available menu bar experience, especially the live countdown during deep work. How Meety handles overlapping events or back-to-back meetings visually, and whether that changes how you decide when to surface stronger alerts
