Owl Reminder can connect your Google Calendar and provide desktop notification for events.

Compared with existing solutions it has several advantages:

  1. Instant push notification while most other solutions use infrequent polling which can have long delay.
  2. Caches events offline so reminder still works even if there is no internet connection.
  3. A simple to-do list kind of UI with snooze and dismiss buttons. People can use it as simple task management tool.
  4. Supports rich notification with snooze, location and hangout buttons for extra convenience.

eigenlijk een super- app, maar jammer genoeg werkt hij om de zoveel weken niet meer, zoals nu... erg vervelend als je er op rekent.

Useless - I can't sign in to my Google Calendar. It says "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app. This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In."
