Horita shows a meeting countdown in the menu bar and enables one-click video call joining, making it straightforward to stay on time for calls without monitoring the macOS Calendar app or relying on calendar notifications.
The menu bar displays a countdown timer that activates when an upcoming meeting approaches, with the countdown timing configurable to the user’s preference. The dropdown shows a daily meeting overview including remaining meetings, estimated busy time, and free time slots, providing a quick schedule summary without opening the Calendar app.
One-click joining detects Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams links embedded in calendar event details and launches the appropriate app. Global keyboard shortcuts provide access without moving to the menu bar.
Full-screen meeting reminders offer an optional more prominent notification for users who miss standard notifications. The reminder can also be delivered via standard macOS notifications if full-screen mode is not preferred.
Screen-share safe mode hides meeting titles when screen sharing is active, preventing meeting subjects from appearing in recordings or to viewers.
System requirements: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer. Works with any calendar service configured in macOS System Settings. No external dependencies.
Pricing: Free. Open source under MIT license. No account required.
Limitations: Meeting joining is limited to Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams; other video platforms are not automatically detected. The app requires macOS 14, excluding users on Ventura or earlier. Functionality depends on calendar events containing valid video call links.
Alternatives: Fantastical provides comprehensive calendar management with meeting joining and a paid subscription. Meeter is a dedicated meeting launcher with broader platform support. Dato combines time zone display with calendar integration. Morgen includes meeting joining alongside task and time management.
Suitable for professionals with frequent scheduled video calls who want quick meeting access from the menu bar without a full calendar application, particularly those using multiple calendar services in macOS.
