## What is Kyugo?

A new way to experience time.
Kyugo 3.0 reimagines the calendar from the ground up. Instead of boxes, grids, and scattered task lists, Kyugo presents your day as a circular, layered canvas—clear, intuitive, and deeply human. It helps you see your time the way you feel it: in cycles, rhythms, and interconnected moments.
This major release marks the official relaunch of Kyugo after its acquisition by Anders (andersbuilds.com). Version 3.0 brings a renewed commitment to craftsmanship, clarity, and calm. Every interaction has been refined, every gesture polished, every layer made more readable. The result is a seamless, mobile-first calendar that adapts to the reality of modern life.
Time, visualized in layers
Kyugo transforms your schedule into a living, circular representation of your day. Each event becomes part of a larger flow. Each layer—work, personal life, routines, commitments—combines into a unified whole you can understand at a glance. No zooming, no hunting for information. Everything is right there, beautifully arranged around your clock.
Designed for clarity and presence
Kyugo isn’t just another productivity tool. It’s a calmer, more intuitive way of relating to time.
•	Understand your day instantly with a circular timeline
•	Reveal how your energy, priorities, and commitments stack together
•	Create a sense of balance by visually distributing the layers of your life
Kyugo helps you step back, see the whole picture, and make space for what matters.
Seamless Google & Apple Calendar sync
Connect your existing calendars in seconds. Whether you use Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or both, Kyugo stays perfectly in sync—without duplicates, complexity, or manual work. Everything remains aligned across your devices and your ecosystem.
Natural gestures. Fluid controls. Thumb-first design.
Kyugo is thoughtfully optimized for one-handed use. Interactions feel effortless:
•	Drag events around the circle to reschedule
•	Resize durations with precise snapping
•	Shift your day in seconds when plans change
•	Glide between views smoothly thanks to polished motion
Your schedule becomes tactile, visual, and intuitive.
Built for modern life
Kyugo adapts to how your day actually unfolds. Meetings run long. Plans shift. Free time appears and disappears. Kyugo helps you navigate change gracefully with a visual flow that always stays coherent.
More than a calendar—your life, in one view
Kyugo merges functionality and beauty to help you:
•	Make intentional choices
•	Regain control of your time
•	Reduce overwhelm
•	See the shape of your day and the space inside it
•	Build a calmer rhythm for work, rest, and everything in between
Kyugo 3.0 is the beginning of a new chapter—crafted to help you design your day with clarity, intention, and flow.
Your time. Your rhythm. Your life.
Begin your new way of living today.

### 1/5 — Problema di base

*2024-11-10*

L’app è estremamente bella e intuitiva a livello grafico, ha un design eccellente ma le funzionalità inesistenti. Non esistono altri elenchi oltre quei 3 presenti nell’app e questo la rende inutilizzabile. Una persona vorrebbe aggiungere le sue attività ma non può farlo

### 5/5 — Great for me personally

*2024-09-16*

This app definitely helps with your daily scheduling or trip plans for future excursions or events can’t wait for the updated version.

### 5/5 — Interesting new take on productivity

*2024-07-04*

I’ve tried of ton of different productivity apps but so far this one is my favorite. Love the circular layout. Very easy to use and stay on track with what I need to get done.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2024-05-28*

Great productivity app. I am very ADD and this really helped to streamline my daily tasks  and work schedule. I like the interface and it is very intuitive and well designed.

### 1/5 — Many small UI UX issues.

*2024-05-10*

You should fix the orientation problem like when the screen rotates it gives a weird layout with buttons in all directions. Also the fonts can be a bit bold since it’s really hard to read the small text in the circle. Also as I am writing this review it has stopped working on my iPhone 13. I can’t get past the first big text Kyugo page. I started with 3 star but got to 1 star rating.

### 1/5 — A UX Nightmare

*2024-01-22*

As a UX/UI Designer, I’m not a fan. The idea of this new calendar design is intriguing but the usability is not good. Super glitchy. Not intuitive at all. Please spend more time on UX design and testing with users! A new type of calendar can’t be complicated or difficult to use. It has to be much easier and smoother than other current options.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. The best feedback we received was from the UX and UI community, we spent months testing, but I guess you have a different opinion, which you have the right to.

### 3/5 — Should be FREE for its current condition

*2023-12-02*

App should be free given how buggy it is at the moment of this review.

Concept is great and I would love to love it, but I can’t because it ironically takes me more time trying to get this to work smoothly and be actually useful.

Another company could steal their concept and release a working free product and steal their entire customer base, then charge for premium features. All they need is an app that works, even if features are limited right now.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Can you send us what exactly is buggy in the current version to hello@kyugo.app? We're still fixing some issues, but the overall performance is getting better every day. Thanks

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2023-11-19*

I wanted to like this app, I really did. But it was very confusing, and the interface was pretty buggy. Not for me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We'd appreciate it if you reach out to us at hello@kyugo.app.
We're improving the performance every week and currently we don't have any bugs reported, all should be fixed now.

### 4/5 — Impossible to use  (unfortunately)

*2023-11-13*

Dear developers, I really loved the idea and the design but interaction with this app just impossible. Expected actions like short tap on circle doesn’t bring action like creating new activity. It’s impossible to set time manually and impossible to somehow move created meetings/whatever. Also close button placed on the place where you expect confirmation icon for activity creation. Please fix this because you created something great but with some crucial behavioral issues. I even can help you if you wish (even for free because I love your app :) wish you the best!

**Developer response:** Hi Marini, thanks for your feedback! The manual entry in the calendar is not a short tap, but a long tap, just tap and hold in the calendar to create an event. Created meetings are now only possible to reschedule, so Kyugo will find another time. We're currently working on dragging and dropping the events. Let us know at hello@kyugo.app and thanks for your support!

### 4/5 — Like the idea

*2023-09-27*

I love this concept but who use google calendar on iPhone?

**Developer response:** Thanks! A lot of people, actually, but we're now working on iCloud and Outlook calendars intergration!
