I keep missing my meetings! Please allow us to make the sound longer, more distinctive, and persistent (until I stop it would be best). I want to use Proton Calendar exclusively, but currently I still have to duplicate my meetings in Apple Alarms (Clock) so I receive a persistent, unmissable notification. In Proton Calendar, this setting could be available within the settings for each event created (like where notification timing is setup).

This is the single most important thing I'm missing on Proton Calendar at the moment, making it hard for me to commit to using it. Please, Proton team, can we get eyes on this issue? There are so many open tickets about this same issue so clearly it's important to more than just a handful of people.

I totally concur with this. However, I'm thinking of it in context with the Android calendar app. The simple notification is too easy to miss. I find myself continuing to be tempted to go back to samsung calendar, because it has more robust alarm-features which are difficult to miss. I want to use proton calendar (for android) as my primary calendar app... but the truth is that the simple notifications it gives are far too easy to miss, or be interrupted or accidentally silenced by random or unexpected things. Much more attention needs to be given to updating the android calendar app notifications to being impossible to ignore or fail to notice. Currently, the android proton calendar notification can be dismissed by nearly anything, even interrupted in the middle of making its notification sound, which will never be heard again. It's a glaring problem that breaks the whole point of using it as my primary calendar.

For some calendar events, a simple phone notification is not enough because we already gets so many other less meaningful notifications on our phones. We need an actual alarm option for a notification so that we don't miss our appointments, etc. PLEASE add this. Thanks!

I support this request and I add sound AND vibration like any standard alarm. 😉

Totally agree. I have a terrible short term memory and rely on audible alert noises for timekeeping. Imagine my disappointment when after migrating everything to proton calendar and then I realise I missed something important because they only options are email or a toast type notification which I get for literally anything like an email or a message.

Firstly, huge thank you to the proton team for the calender! I love it and with the calendar rollout I will most likely be subscribing to a paid service. Android devices default clock app can only set alarms up to 23:59 ahead of time. I would love to be able to enter my work schedule once a week and set wake up alarms for the whole week, instead of doing it every night, possibly forgetting.*note* - I am aware that there are notifications available for the proton calendar android app, but the single ding will not wake me up. I prefer an alarm with snooze and dismiss options.

200% agree. The built in alarm options are useless. "Popup Notification" and "Email"?

If you had to write down a list of 1000 things that you associate with the word "alarm", a popup or an email would not even be on the list.

However, a loud audible sound would be #1.

Whenever I create an event that I absolutely must be reminded of, I always create an alarm for ~10-30min before the event. It's an annoying hassle, and I end up with dozens of alarms, but it works and really helps me to not forget events.

It always frustrated me that Google refused to implement this, even though they wrote GCal and the Android alarm app, and it probably would have taken one of their devs 30 minutes to link them together.

I fully agree. Without an acoustic notification it's only worth the half.

This is the single most important feature for me to use Proton Calendar on Android. I need the Android device to ring an alarm and not just a notification for calendar event notifications. The alarm feature can be minimal and use the system default. Future feature would be good if user can set a different alarm sound for the Proton Calendar, or different alarm sound for different events.

For Google Calendar I use separate app "Event Reminder" (Milan Sillik) to ring alarm on Google Calendar event notifications. It appears that Event Reminder does not recognize Proton Calendar notifications.

Calendar alarms. I absolutely love all things Proton, and the reminders (multiple too!) are fantastic. Am I missing something, or do we not have alarms with the reminders? Even though I have most devices within my immediate vicinity, I'm usually quite focused on multiple tasks... pop-ups are great, but accompanying alarms are even better. =)
So sorry, in advance, if I'm missing something and this is already a feature. = s
