Bonk

Bonk — never get bonked by a meeting again

Bonk is a tiny macOS menu-bar app that makes sure you actually show up. It watches your calendar and, right before a meeting, throws an alert you can't miss — then joins the call in one click. No accounts, no cloud, no setup. Just your Mac's own calendars.

Why you'll love it

• 🔔 Alerts you can't ignore. Choose a calm pill at the top of your screen or a full-screen takeover — your call. Both float above full-screen apps, so a meeting can't sneak past while you're heads-down.
• 🎥 One-click join. Bonk pulls the Meet, Teams, or Zoom link straight from the invite. Hit Join and you're in — or let it auto-join the second your meeting starts.
• 📊 A menu bar that works for you. See your next meeting as just an icon, a live countdown, the time, or the title — in your own calendar colour. Pick the icon that fits you (bell, alarm, calendar, clock, sparkles…), and watch it glow as a meeting closes in.
• 🎛? Rules, your way. Decide which meetings deserve an alert. Filter by title, weekday, calendar, or RSVP status (accepted / invited / declined / FYI). Different lead times and looks per rule — even a "stay quiet" rule for the noise.
• 🎨 Make the alert yours. Reusable styles with gradients, blur, images or solid colours, your accent, and exactly the fields you want to see. Pick a sound, loop it as an alarm until you react, and even break through a muted Mac when it really matters.
• ? Quick reminders, too. Something not on your calendar? Add a reminder in seconds — "in 15 minutes" or at an exact time — and fire it from anywhere with a global shortcut. They snooze, reschedule, and clear themselves once shown.
• 📅 Works with what you already have. Google, iCloud, Exchange — any calendar your Mac already syncs, via EventKit. No OAuth, no extra login. Choose which calendars to follow and their colours.
• 🌗 Polished & personal. English or Dutch, light or dark, launch-at-login, and a clean menu showing today (or the next few days), with snooze, dismiss, and "open in Calendar" on every meeting.
• 🔄 Stays current. Tells you when a new version is out — quietly, never nagging.
