Chnges since version 9.8.1 New iPad split-screen layout for Events: view your event list on the left and event details on the right for a more desktop-style editing experience.

Improved syncing reliability after changes introduced by newer iOS updates. Fixed Today Widget thumbnails for imported Astronomy and Holiday events. Updated app security settings and general compatibility improvements. Added an option to keep the screen awake while the app is in use.

Very sad….

Updating to IOS 26.4.2 wiped all the events that I have created and kept for the past 15 years.

Taking off Weekends

It would be nice to have the option to show week days only for things like days till a certain event, like a vacation, to show how many days you actually have to work.
