Android: Alarm should override silent mode/alarm should sound in silent mode
Similar to Android's "Simple Calendar" I need the Proton Calendar's alarms for events to sound even in silent mode. Simple Calendar can do this. I think it might be related to an advanced option (that's not available in Proton Calendar) to "allow setting alarms and reminders", but I'm not sure.
I need this because my phone is usually on silent but I still need to be able to hear the calendar alerts.
Thanks!

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.

What alarms are you talking about? 😏
Before you suggest Proton Calendar's alarms to be able to override silent mode, don't you think you first need to suggest Proton Calendar to have alarms to begin with? 😅
