Automatically set real iOS alarms for calendar events
I kept missing appointments and meetings because calendar notifications are too easy to ignore. Alarms, on the other hand, always break through silent mode/DND and force you to acknowledge them — but setting them manually every day was another chore. With iOS 26’s new AlarmKit, I built Beacon: it automatically syncs with your Apple Calendar and converts important events into real iOS alarms. You can define simple rules (like “only events with ‘Interview’ in the title” or “meetings with 3+ attendees”), and Beacon sets the alarms for you — no extra work required. Would love feedback!
In plain words
Beacon automatically converts Apple Calendar events into iOS alarms based on user-defined rules, ensuring important appointments are never missed. The app syncs with the calendar and creates alarms that break through silent mode and Do Not Disturb, unlike standard notifications. Users can set simple rules to filter which events trigger alarms, such as those containing specific keywords or involving multiple attendees. The app requires iOS 26's AlarmKit to function.

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
