In the midst of focusing on a specific task, it’s common for time to slip away, making it easy to overlook important meetings—whether they hold significance or not, especially when the convenience of working from home allows distractions to creep in. While calendar alerts can be beneficial, they are often overlooked or ignored.

In Your Face is a unique indie application for Mac designed to ensure that no meeting is ever missed again. This app takes over your entire screen with notifications for any calendar events you wish to prioritize. By utilizing the macOS Calendar for your appointments, the app conveniently resides in the menu bar, allowing you to view your upcoming engagements with a simple click.

One minute before your scheduled meeting, a full-screen reminder will appear, signaling that it’s time to join. The premise of this application is to make sure nothing slips through the cracks when it comes to your meeting notifications.

For those who prefer more advance notice, the application allows you to customize how soon the reminder appears. For instance, if a quick trip to grab a glass of water before a meeting is a habit, setting the alert for five minutes in advance could be ideal. Additionally, there is an option to incorporate travel time for in-person meetings, making the tool even more versatile.

When it comes to virtual meetings, this app proves to be particularly invaluable, as these are the engagements that tend to get overlooked the most. You have the flexibility to configure the app to only display notifications for events that include a video conferencing link—whether this link resides in the description or the event’s location. Furthermore, there are options to ignore events you have declined, and you can choose not to receive reminders outside your designated work hours. For those who appreciate customization, there are also settings available to modify the appearance and color scheme of the notifications, adding a personal touch to the experience.

The application offers a free trial, allowing users to assess its usefulness before committing. Post-trial, the pricing model consists of a monthly fee of $1.99, an annual fee of $19.99, or a one-time payment option of $64. Additionally, a Setapp subscription is available, granting access to this app alongside approximately 250 other Mac applications for $9.99 a month.
