2.0 is built around the three things that land on whoever runs the house. Nothing falls through the cracks. Screenshot the school email, the invite or the flyer: the date is on your calendar with a reminder, and the RSVP or the photo order becomes a to-do. Each morning a short digest reads you your day. Free. You're not the only one who knows. With Premium, share Family Events and the groceries with your household. Every event lands on everyone's calendar, and every list is on their phone the moment you add something. Joining is free for them. Dinner, decided. Share a recipe from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any website and cook from it: the step lit, the timers in the steps, the list on your wrist. Plan tonight free, or the whole week with Premium, with every ingredient on one grocery list. Also in 2.0: • Active Notes for Mac. Capture any part of the screen with a shortcut and it's on your calendar. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. • Free to use, no account needed.
