An In Your Face alternative with a free tier
Like In Your Face, BigReminder takes over your screen when a meeting is about to start. It's a simpler app, with a free tier and a one-time Pro option.
How BigReminder differs
No subscription required
Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase, with no subscription. In Your Face offers monthly and yearly subscriptions, or a one-time license.
A free tier that stays free
BigReminder is free for 1 calendar and 1 full-screen reminder a day, with no time limit. In Your Face starts with a free trial.
Mac and Windows
Use it on macOS 13 or later, or try the Windows beta with Google Calendar and Outlook sign-in.
Focused on the reminder
A full-screen reminder with a live countdown and a Join button for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, GoTo Meeting and Skype. Enter joins, Esc dismisses.
What In Your Face does that BigReminder doesn't
To be fair: In Your Face covers more ground. According to its website, it runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch as well as Mac and Windows, and it offers themes, event filters, per-event alert overrides, pausing alerts, global keyboard shortcuts and alerts for Apple Reminders. If you need those, it may suit you better.
BigReminder is for people who want the full-screen reminder itself, set up once per calendar, with the option to pay once instead of subscribing.
How BigReminder works
- Install BigReminder. On Mac it reads the calendars in the macOS Calendar app; on Windows you sign in with Google or Microsoft.
- Pick your calendars and when to be reminded: at the start, or 5, 10 or 15 minutes before.
- When it's time, BigReminder fills the screen. Join the call in one click, snooze (Pro) or dismiss.
