Is There an App That Calls You Before a Meeting?

Yes — there's an app that calls your phone automatically before every meeting on your Google Calendar. It's called Remindavo, and it takes about 60 seconds to set up.

You connect your Google Calendar, enter your phone number, and choose how many minutes in advance you want the call. Then Remindavo handles the rest — monitoring your calendar around the clock and calling you before every event. No app to open. No notification to swipe. Your phone rings.

Why phone calls work when notifications don't

The problem with push notifications is that they're too easy to ignore. They stack up with every other alert fighting for your attention. When you're in deep focus — writing, on another call, away from your phone — a notification disappears into the pile before you ever see it.

A phone call is different. It interrupts. Your phone lights up, buzzes, and rings until you acknowledge it. That's the whole point. For meetings that matter — client calls, interviews, doctor appointments, team standups — that forced interruption is exactly what you need.

How Remindavo works

Remindavo connects to Google Calendar via OAuth — the same way any calendar app would. Once connected, it reads your upcoming events and schedules an outbound call for each one. When the call fires, it plays a short message: the name of the meeting, how many minutes you have, and any relevant details from the event description.

You can set reminders to fire:

• 5 minutes before
• 10 minutes before
• 15 minutes before
• 30 minutes before

It works with any phone — iPhone, Android, or even a landline. No app download required on the receiving end. If your phone rings, it works.

Who uses it

The people who get the most from Remindavo tend to fall into a few categories:

Coaches and consultants

When a missed call means a missed session — and a missed session can cost hundreds of dollars — a phone call reminder isn't optional. Coaches use Remindavo to make sure they're at their desk and ready before every client engagement.

Remote workers with back-to-back meetings

When you're context-switching between tasks all day and Google Calendar is buried under seven other browser tabs, a phone call cuts through the noise in a way no desktop notification can.

People with ADHD

Time blindness makes it genuinely difficult to monitor the passage of time and catch a meeting before it starts. A phone call — something that demands an immediate response — provides the external interrupt that internal monitoring can't reliably deliver.

Anyone who's missed a meeting before

Some people only need to miss one important call to decide that their current reminder system isn't reliable enough. Remindavo is the upgrade.
