## What is Calendar Planner CircleTime?

UNDERSTAND TIME AS A WHOLE

Most calendars organize time into boxes.
But time unfolds through rhythms and cycles.

CircleTime is a visual calendar that reflects that reality.

Plan your day, week, and month with a clear visual calendar that helps you understand time as a connected whole. Events, reminders, tasks, weather, daylight, moon phases, and activity come together in one connected view.

The circular view gives clarity at a glance. You see when the day begins, when light fades, when routines fit, and when rest comes. Less overwhelm, more focus.

Discover patterns that traditional calendars often hide. Understand how your plans, movement, and natural rhythms fit together throughout the day.

Instead of switching between apps, lists, and trackers, everything is organized in a single timeline that helps you stay focused, reduce overwhelm, and plan with greater clarity.

FEATURES
• See your entire day, week, and month at a glance
• Never lose track of events, reminders, or tasks
• Plan with daylight, weather, and lunar awareness
• Understand when your activity happens, not just how much
• Stay focused with a visual timeline that reduces overwhelm
• Keep your schedule close with widgets and Apple Watch

PRIVACY FIRST
Your data stays private on your device. No tracking. No ads. Just clarity.

INTEGRATIONS
Works seamlessly with Apple Calendar, Apple Weather, HealthKit, and iCloud.

Follow your schedule, your activity, and the natural cycles around you.

A calendar that finally feels like time itself.

### 5/5 — Helpful App and Great Service!

*2026-07-06*

This is a great way to visualize your events and synchronize with weather and seasons. I much prefer viewing my calendar this way. Customer service has also been exceptional, and the app is very affordable compared to many, along with taking privacy into consideration. Much thanks to the developers!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear that CircleTime has changed the way you view your calendar. We’re especially grateful for your mention of privacy and customer support, as both are values we care deeply about. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, and we hope CircleTime continues to make every day a little clearer.

### 5/5 — Functional

*2026-02-24*

Learning curve, but useful when you learn it.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that you decided to give it a chance, and thank you very much for the rating!

### 5/5 — Arch. René Acosta

*2026-02-11*

The best app that I have. Thanks

**Developer response:** Very happy to hear that you are enjoying it, and thank you for rating!

### 5/5 — Very innovative

*2025-12-07*

Brilliant idea. Easy to use and convenient.

**Developer response:** Glad you like it, and many thanks for rating! We’ll keep building and growing the app for as long as it takes, and these reviews make all the difference to us. 👍

### 5/5 — Great visual take on the calendar

*2025-07-06*

After wrapping my head around a circle vs a grid, after getting used to the view, the calendar because a highly informative display of your time. I frequently add in everything I want to do on a day, but seeing how the circle quickly fills up and events overlap each other, it’s clear that expectations may be a little high.  The visual display helps to set realistic plans and offers insights into habits and recurring events over time helping you plan better and consider what things are important for you.  Looking forward to hopefully seeing tasks on the calendar in the future which would help pull information together.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad you’ve gotten used to the circular view and that it helps you see how your day fills up and plan more realistically. That’s exactly our goal: to provide a clear, useful overview of your time and habits. Tasks/reminders are indeed planned for a future update. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-06-10*

Only wish that more alarms could be set.  So many features all in one screen. Very useful.  Expect a learning curve but it is worth it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the rating!

We hope the interactive tips help new users get the hang of the app more quickly, but we’re always thinking about how to make it even simpler.

If you have any suggestions about alarms or anything else, feel free to send them to: info@galilea.si

### 5/5 — Niche, but exquisite

*2025-02-12*

This app requires learning; it is NOT a plug n’ play calendar app for people who aren’t interested in the wealth of other features and info CircleTime provides. I LOVE this app and it’s perfect for me, but it’s not meant for everyone and those leaving reviews should be mindful of that.

**Developer response:** You’ve captured the essence of CircleTime perfectly, and it’s great to see that you recognise its value. It means a lot to us!

### 2/5 — It’s a rather poor app that the developer loves

*2025-01-17*

Where to start? In terms of being a calendar you would use daily, for personal or professional, this calendar app is not it. It is not practical.  Its visual identity is more geared to be interesting than useable. It is “neat.” Yet, a good calendar neat alone does not make. 

If you’re in the mood to view this app as art rather than a calendar you’ll use as a calendar, I would take a look. Otherwise, go in knowing that the functionality that brings it anywhere close to a useable calendar is $30/year.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest review, although we’re sorry to hear that you didn’t find the app useful.

The principle behind its design is just like it says in the app description: ‘Time, as defined by nature’. Although we do believe in importance of aesthetics, this isn’t intended to be some kind of art experiment, but rather a wholistic timepiece with all the essential functionality. Of course more features are always being planned and we have plenty of new things in the works right now.

What we develop next is mainly prioritized based on user feedback, so feel free to make your own suggestions. It should be noted that the app has evolved into its current form largely thanks to the invaluable feedback from its users.

### 5/5 — App

*2024-10-02*

Unique! Love this!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you like it! Thank you for rating.

### 1/5 — Lies

*2024-08-07*

**Developer response:** The in-app purchase options are listed on the App Store Page, and they do include a one-time ‘Lifetime’ purchase which unlocks the app permanently.
