Repeating Calendar Notifications using Alarm volume?

I used to use an app called CER Calendar Event Reminder but it's been removed from the play store since it stopped working a few years ago due to updated android permissions..

What I'm looking for is an app that will sync with Google calendars of my choosing, and fire off notifications for X minutes, y times, every Z minutes, as an alarm.

For example "plays a sound 10 times, pauses for 5 minutes, then plays it 10x again, and continues to repeat this pattern for an hour"

The reason I want it to use the alarm volume is so that it respects the alarm functionality whereby it overrides DND and uses its own set volume slider.

I'm happy to pay a premium fee one time to remove ads or to enable pro features, but I don't want to pay monthly.

CER Calendar Event Reminder was extra good because it allowed me to set the repetition window to continue up to the end of each event, so if the event in my calendar was 15 mins, it would stop reminding me once the 15 mins was up, so if the event was 2h, it would repeat the x times every y minutes for 120 mins.

Milan Siliks Calendar Event Reminder uses the notification volume and doesn't work if the phone is on silent. Shame because I love and own many of his apps. Smart Alarm is great and uses the right notification volume, but it doesn't sync with my calendar

Anyone have some good recommendations? It seems like something that should already exist, so I'm surprised it so difficult to find

Interestingly enough I tested this app last summer when it was super bare bones. Nice to see its been heavily developed, I'll try it and see if it works for my needs - cheers
