iCal-alarmist: Customised alarms in iCal
iCal-alarmist is an app that sets additional alarms in iCal.
iCalFix allows you to set a pop-up alarm for every event by default, but iCal-alarmist offers greater flexibility.
The free version sets a pop-up alarm for every event in a chosen calendar fixed at 12 hours before the event. These alarms are created in addition to your existing alarms, not in place of them.
The app’s interface shows the freeware behaviour with the additional options in the shareware version greyed out:
A small payment (€ 3,47 = USD 4.11) unlocks the ability to set alarms for all events in a calendar with one click, to set sounds, email or popup alarms or any combination for a given calendar, and to delete alarms.
It even allows you to set alarms to match a particular keyword.
iCal-alarmist is available from the developer’s web site.

I find this application to be very unstable. I paid for the full version, yet some alarms are randomly not set for established events, other events end up with 2 identical alarms being set, and when I atempt to “clear all alarms” it does not always work – often requiring several attempts before all alarms clear.
Not worth the price of admission.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t use it regularly myself, so it’s good to hear from someone who does, if the news itself doesn’t seem particularly good.
