How do Calvetica custom alerts work?

Because of the way Apple does system alerts with calendars, there's no way for us to turn off the built-in alerts. Our custom alerts are configured to fire 15 seconds after the Apple alert. If you wait for the Calvetica alert to appear, you'll have the option of "snoozing" the alert until later.

Using our custom alerts also makes it so you can use our custom sounds, some of which are louder and longer than the build-in Apple alert sound.

What is Pocket Lint?

Pocket Lint is our own syncing service for backing up tasks to the "cloud." When you sign up with a Pocket Lint account, we backup and privately store your tasks on our server. If your phone crashes, you'll still have all your tasks backed up when you sign in again through Calvetica.
