Ding

Your next meeting, one click away.

Ding counts down to your next meeting in the menu bar and joins it in one click.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

The Ding menu bar item showing "Team standup in 12m", with its menu open: a Next meeting card with a Join button, then today and tomorrow's meetings

Ding Preferences, Meetings tab: choose whether Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and other links open in the desktop app or a browser

Ding's full-screen reminder: "Team standup, starts in 0:59" with Join, Snooze and Dismiss buttons

Ding Preferences, Notifications tab: notification timing, sound, and the screen reminder style (none, flash the screen edges, or full-screen alert)

Ding Preferences, Calendars tab: iCloud and work calendars, each with an on/off switch

Ding Preferences, AI Access tab: two switches for letting an AI assistant see or open your meetings, and how to connect an assistant

Always in view

The menu bar shows the next meeting's title and a live countdown ("Standup in 12m", "Standup now"). Click it for a Next meeting card with a Join button, and everything coming up over the next day, week, or two weeks, grouped by day.

Join in one click

Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or any single link in an event. Choose per service whether it opens in the desktop app, your default browser, or a specific browser. A global keyboard shortcut joins the next meeting without touching the mouse.

Reminders that get noticed

A notification before each meeting, plus an optional bigger reminder: a flash around the screen edges, or a full-screen takeover with a live countdown and Join, Snooze and Dismiss. The notification and the bigger reminder have their own timing.

Uses the calendars you already have

iCloud, Google, Exchange and any other account set up on your Mac, with nothing to sign into. Pick which calendars to show.

Private by design

No accounts, no servers, no tracking, and the app never uses the network. Your calendar never leaves your Mac. Privacy policy.

Works with AI assistants

Optional and off by default. If you want, an assistant that supports MCP, such as Claude, can ask Ding for your next meeting or open it. You control it with two switches in Preferences; it never sees notes, attendees, locations or meeting links.
