iCal hack to automatically add alarms
Merlin Mann | Dec 27 2005
Groby Unplugged » Blog Archive » Making a better iCal Robert Blum has come to my rescue with this handy little iCal hack — it automatically adds an alarm to new events. It’s currently hard-wired with a “one day before” alarm (happily, also my preferred default from Entourage), but Robert plans to add some flexibility in the 0.2 release next month. (It still kind of amazes me that this feature isn’t baked right in to iCal, but I’m wildly grateful to Groby for picking up the slack.) 11 Comments
