Superpowered For Mac

Managing calendars on the desktop was difficult enough before online meetings became the norm, but now you also have to open a browser just to find a meeting link, and you can end up being unprepared because you were unaware of how long you had left before a meeting was due.

Superpowered is a small menu bar app designed to make calendar tracking easier. It also allows you to join meetings with a single click, so no more searching for URLs, and it makes it easier to stay on top of upcoming meetings or events directly from the menu bar.

After launching the app, you will need to log in with a Google account in order to synchronize your calendars. You can choose which calendars should be monitored to avoid being notified about non-important events.

Once everything is synchronized, you will see upcoming meetings, tasks, and events in the menu bar pop-up, nicely laid out in an intuitive visual representation. The next event will also be highlighted directly in the menu bar, letting you know how long you have before it is set to begin.

One of the major issues with Zoom and other conferencing services is that you can't reliably track meetings and join them without having their client apps up and running or checking your calendar for the join URL.

With Superpowered, the meeting URL will be available directly from the menu bar, and you can be taken directly to the right service's client app with a single click. This makes both organizing and joining meetings incredibly simple. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, and Around are all supported.

If you're having trouble staying on top of events in your calendar, especially if these include a lot of meetings, Superpowered can be a great addition to your workflow. It is remarkably intuitive and takes practically no getting used to. The monthly subscription is quite pricey, but you can at least try it out for a month to see if you think it's worth it.
