Meridian 1.59.0

August 13, 2026

Meeting reminders arrive before the meeting again — and at the time you set in your calendar.

Fixed

• Meeting reminders were arriving as the meeting started — the reminder lead time defaulted to zero instead of fifteen minutes for anyone who hadn’t changed it in Settings, so the only heads-up you got was the two-minute join prompt. Reminders now arrive fifteen minutes ahead by default, and the two-minute join prompt still fires as the backstop.

Added

• Your calendar’s own notification time is honoured — if you’ve told Google to remind you thirty minutes before events on a particular calendar, Meridian now uses that, rather than falling back to its own setting. Most events don’t carry a reminder of their own; they defer to whichever calendar they’re on, and Meridian was never reading that. A reminder set on an individual event still wins, and email-only reminders are left alone rather than turned into desktop alerts.
• Calendars refresh once a day — a calendar’s name, colour and notification setting could change on your provider’s side and Meridian would never notice, because it only ever looked when a connection had no calendars at all. It now re-checks daily. Calendars you’ve switched off stay off.
