A native macOS menu bar app for Google Calendar meetings — never walk in late again.
Install
Download Punctual-1.0-universal.dmg below, open it, and drag Punctual to Applications.
The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens on first launch — no "unidentified developer" warning and no trip to System Settings. One download works on both Apple silicon and Intel.
What it does
- Menu bar countdown to your next meeting ("Standup in 12m")
- Today at a glance — click the menu bar item for the day's remaining meetings, each with one-click Join (Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex)
- Unmissable full-screen alert before a meeting starts, over every app on every display, with a lead time you choose (0/1/2/5 minutes) — Join, Snooze 1 min, or Dismiss
- Launch at login, light and dark mode, no Dock icon
Privacy
No servers, no analytics, no telemetry. Punctual talks directly to the Google Calendar API from your Mac using two read-only scopes — calendar.events.readonly and calendar.calendarlist.readonly — the narrowest that cover reading your calendars and their events. It can never create, edit, or delete anything. Tokens are stored in your Keychain, and calendar data never leaves your Mac.
Google has verified the app for these scopes, so sign-in is a normal Google consent screen.
Requirements
macOS 14.4 or later. Universal (Apple silicon and Intel).
