Custom Audio Messages for Appointments OR Categories
The feature involves the ability to attach custom audio messages to individual appointments, providing users with a more personalized and dynamic reminder system.
This feature would allow users to attach an audio file (e.g., voice memos, custom sounds) to specific calendar appointments. When the appointment's alarm or reminder goes off, the attached audio message would play, providing a more engaging and customizable notification experience. This can be especially useful for users who prefer auditory reminders or need detailed instructions at the time of the event.
USE CASES:
Users could record personal messages or instructions that play when an event reminder is triggered.
This feature would be particularly helpful for individuals with unique scheduling needs, such as those managing complex tasks or those with disabilities that benefit from auditory cues.
ALTERNATIVE THAT EASIER TO CODE:
As a more straightforward implementation, I propose an alternative approach that could be developed in the short term. This solution involves linking custom audio messages to event categories rather than individual appointments.
DESCRIPTION:
Users would have the option to assign an audio message to a specific category (e.g., "Work," "Personal," "Meetings").
When an appointment is linked to a category, the associated audio message would play when the event's alarm goes off.
This approach could be easier to implement while still providing significant value.
BENEFITS OF SIMPLIFIED APPROACH:
Simplified development compared to individual appointment-based audio attachments.
Users can manage their reminders more effectively by associating different sounds with different types of events.
This feature would add another layer of customization without overcomplicating the user interface.
