calendar alerts don't have snooze

I just want to let people know that we've tried out SnoozeMaster with BusyCal and they're not compatible at this time.

I've noticed snoozemaster has been making my fans run quite noisy on my MBP 13" late 2011.

About 30-60 seconds before I'm expecting the snooze reminder to pop up if I go to activity viewer I see snoozemaster is taking up around 160% of the cpu, and then gradually falls in it's usage, and whilst it's doing it the fans ramp up.

I've also noticed that if my macbook is asleep and I wake it, if I'm past a calander entry I don't get a notification ?

Like just now, I have an event at 9.15, (15 minute default before alarm), I wake my laptop up at 9.03 and no notification...

yet notifications after waking the macbook up continue to work ok, as I just entered a new one for 9.08.

Oh, and my cpu usage for snoozemaster is now spiking at 234%

I noticed that too. It seems Snoozemaster onyl works if the Mac is on. If it's off it never alerts you about a past alarm.

Hmmm, well that means I'm going to have to turn back on the apple reminders as well then....

whats your cpu usage like Brian ? Have you noticed it hogging it like mine is ?

We're receiving and processing all feedback from the initial version right now, and hopefully we can have an updated version addressing most of the biggest issues soon.

As far as the CPU usage, SnoozeMaster itself doesn't uses a lot of CPU power, but due to the limited nature of the current EventKit notification system, we have to re-fetch and re-process all events from scratch whenever there's a modification on the system event database. That process will probably cause a spike on CPU usage.

We are already using a low priority background process for that, but we'll look into trothling it further if necessary.

I also want to confirm the sleep issue. SnoozeMaster needs to be running to show alerts and will only show alerts for events that trigger while it's running. We've given some thoughts on how to address that and hope to have a solution for it soon.

How's the update coming along. ???

I've had to keep the 'notification centre' events still running otherwise I'm not getting notified of my calendar events. Also, if I snooze a notification event, Snoozemaster doesn't pick up on it.

So at the moment, Snoozemaster is only any good for me, if I create an event whilst my machine is on and stays on.

The moment I sleep my Macbook, I have to rely on the notification centre to keep me going.

SnoozeMaster v1.1 was submitted for Review to Apple on Apr 2nd. They seem to be running about 10 days, so it should be available soon!

Any idea what SnoozeMaster 1.1 fixes? Will alarms work if the Mac wakes from sleep?

Read about it in the Support Forums: http://on-core.com/forums/index.php/topic,559.0.htm

I just downloaded and started using Snoozemaster. For the short amount of time its been in use, so far, so good!

One suggestion for the next update is to have an option of playing a sound whenever alerts pop up.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info on BusCal... I'll have to check it out. I just "upgraded" to Mountain Lion... I just love it when an upgrade removes functionality that was important to me!

RIP half-decent snooze feature...

RIP iTunes DJ...

Somebody call me a whaaaaaambulance! 😢

Use BusyCal, it is what you wanted Calendar to be.

It's $19.99 in the App Store for a limited time, then it's $29.99

I've been using snoozemaster but still find that it suddenly goes offline and requires a reboot.
