Support for JR Meeting Alarms and JR Duo Translate.

JR Meeting Alarms

Your calendar. With a wake-up call.

Choose your iPhone calendars, set an alarm buffer, and see your next meeting on your iPhone or paired Apple Watch.

Planned U.S. price: $2.99, one-time purchase. App Store release pending.

Privacy policy

A meeting is missing

First confirm the event appears in Apple’s Calendar app. Events visible only in Outlook are not available to this app until the account is connected to the iPhone calendar system. Check that the account is signed in, grant Calendar Full Access and Alarms permission, select its calendar, then tap Sync now. All-day, declined and canceled events are excluded; the app schedules the earliest 32 eligible events over seven days.

An alarm stays silenced

Canceling an alarm intentionally keeps that meeting occurrence silenced. Use Restore upcoming alarms in settings to restore suppressed occurrences. Adjust the default timing or an individual meeting’s timing to change its buffer.

Refresh and Apple Watch

Open the app to refresh after calendar changes. A morning refresh is requested after 8 AM, but iOS decides when background work runs. Watch presentation depends on pairing, device state and system settings. Simultaneous ringing is not guaranteed.

JR Duo Translate

Two screens. One conversation.

Face-to-face conversations using Apple’s Speech and Translation frameworks, with automatic turns or Q&A mode.

Planned U.S. price: $4.99, one-time purchase. App Store release pending.

Privacy policy

Start a conversation

Choose each person’s language, select a conversation mode, tap Start and allow microphone, speech and camera permissions. In Q&A mode, tap Done after each person finishes. Adjust the capture gate for your surroundings. Tap an available phrase to hear it aloud.

Language and display availability

Requires iOS 27.1 or later. The two-screen experience requires supported iPhone Duo hardware, an unfolded device and an active camera preview. Apple controls outside-display availability. Speech and translation availability depend on Apple’s technology, installed language resources and device settings; some recognition requires internet access. Translation accuracy varies with speech and background noise. The app does not record or upload camera video.
