Baplet

For people who keep getting distracted.

Baplet lives in your Mac's menu bar and taps you on the shoulder before every meeting, so you never miss one again.

Download for macOS Free · macOS 26.3 or later · all versions

Heads-up: Baplet isn't signed by Apple yet, so macOS warns you the first time you open it. It takes one extra step — see how to install.

Alerts you can't miss

A popup or a full-screen alert a few minutes before each meeting, in one of four styles. Snooze, dismiss or join with a single key.

Today at a keystroke

Press your own global shortcut from any app to see the whole day. Pick a meeting with the arrow keys and press Return to join.

Join in the right browser

Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex and more open in the browser — and Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi or Firefox profile — you choose.

Quietly in your menu bar

A small countdown shows when the next meeting starts. Works with every calendar in the macOS Calendar app: iCloud, Google, Exchange and others.

Installing

Why does macOS warn about Baplet?

Apple only lets apps open without a warning when they're signed with a paid Apple Developer ID and checked ("notarized") by Apple. Baplet is an early, free project and isn't signed that way yet, so macOS can't confirm who made it and blocks it until you allow it. Nothing is wrong with the download: Baplet is open source, so you can read every line of its code. Signed builds will come later, and then this extra step goes away.

  1. Open the downloaded Baplet.dmg and drag Baplet to Applications.
  2. Start Baplet. macOS says it can't verify the developer. Click Done (not Move to Bin).
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about Baplet, click Open Anyway and confirm with your password or Touch ID.
  4. Allow calendar access, and the welcome guide takes it from there.

Prefer Terminal? xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Baplet.app does the same as steps 2–3.

Updating? Each new version you download needs steps 2–3 again, and macOS asks for calendar access again. Right-click → Open no longer skips the warning on recent macOS versions.
