Hard Stops Turns Calendar Events Into Alarms

Field notes

Hard Stops is organized around selecting the commitments that deserve stronger treatment than ordinary notifications. Its described workflow adds a destination, buffer time, and sound, then synchronizes one-time or recurring alerts through private iCloud storage. The page specifies different interruption modes by device: a full-screen takeover on Mac, prominent alerts on iPhone, and a wrist notification on Apple Watch. It also proposes direct actions for marking an alert done, snoozing it, or opening Maps.
