Your next meeting starts in 14:59
The meeting reminder you can't ignore.
Notifications whisper and vanish. Ahem! fills your screen right before your meeting — live countdown, day timeline, one‑click join. Then it gets out of your way.
Not yet available for purchase. Launching soon as a one-time $5.99 payment — no subscription, no recurring or mobile billing of any kind.
Standard notifications are too quiet.
You're deep in flow. A tiny toast popped up for two seconds and vanished. That was your meeting.
ADHD, time-blindness, deep focus? Little popups might as well be invisible.
Ahem! takes the whole screen — calm, warm, impossible to miss. Works with your brain, not against it.
Built for focus. Impossible to ignore.
Fullscreen. Countdown. One-click join.
Fullscreen on every display
Semi-transparent reminders appear over any app — presentations, IDEs, browsers, even games. Native ultrawide support, from a laptop panel to a 49″ monitor.
Countdown timers you can feel
Fires at 10, 5, and 1 minute by default — every threshold is customizable. Built for remote work, so you're never caught off-guard mid-Slack.
One-click join, 30+ services
Ahem! detects meeting links for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and 30+ other services. Join straight from the overlay — no hunting through email.
Plus: global agenda hotkey, multi-calendar views, high-contrast mode, snooze & dismiss, and more.
Your whole day, one glance.
Your next meeting takes center stage — the rest of the day stays in view, without ever leaving your current task.
Center-stage focus — name, platform, attendees, live countdown.
Full-day sidebar — past and future events stay visible.
Split calendar view — work and personal, side by side.
Current-time notch — a live marker shows exactly where you are.
Working hours & day navigation — set your window, browse freely.
No cloud. No account. No idea who you are.
Ahem! has no servers. Your calendar never leaves your machine — that's not a policy, it's the architecture.

Ahem! can see your events, never change them.
