## What is MellowPace?

Not quite a calendar event. Still worth remembering.

Trash goes out Tuesday night. Your show drops at 9. The 8:05 train. Pick up milk this evening. Mom's birthday.
MellowPace is a gentle reminder app for iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. It softly nudges you about the small timings in daily life that don't deserve a calendar entry. No guilt for what you didn't get to, just a calm view of your day.

PACE: your usual routines
Set habits by weekday and time of day. Weekdays only, Mon/Wed/Fri, every other week, monthly: repeats are flexible.
Example: Tuesday 7:30 trash out / every day 11:30 pm wind down

THINGS: little errands
Add them with a rough time like "this evening" or "weekend". When it's done, skip it this time, or push it to tomorrow, all equally easy.
Example: buy light bulbs / return a book / book a haircut

PLACE REMINDERS
Save home, a station, a grocery store or your office, and get a reminder when you're nearby (choose a range from about 100 m to 500 m): "Buy milk when I arrive at the supermarket." Your location is used only on your device. No travel history is kept and nothing is sent anywhere. Place reminders work with "While Using the App" permission (optional). Only the optional automatic departure when you leave home needs "Always".

WATCH: shows you don't want to miss
By default you get a heads-up 30 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and at start time. If there's a link, open it right from the notification.

DEPARTURE: your usual train
See how many minutes until your usual train, with a time to leave home. If you miss it, it quietly switches to the next one.

FOCUS & DETOX
Timers you can start without deciding anything first. Stop early and the time you did spend still counts.

SOMEDAY & ANNIVERSARIES
Trips, films, places to try: a gentle nudge when you've forgotten them. Birthdays and anniversaries too.

YOUR CALENDAR, VIEW ONLY (OPTIONAL)
Show your iPhone calendar events on Today, Me, widgets and Apple Watch. MellowPace never edits your events and sends nothing to any server.

TYPE IT NATURALLY
"Buy milk tomorrow." "Walk every Monday 9:30." "Focus 25 min." Basic dates, repeats and Focus/Detox times work in English, Japanese, French, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Spanish. You confirm what was read before saving. On supported iPhones, on-device AI helps read your input; the basics work without it. Not every phrasing is guaranteed to be understood.

YOUR TREE
A tree grows over the year with the weeks you showed up and what you got done. It never withers on rest days. No streaks, no red warnings. The Me tab shows your week and small observations, not a score.

WIDGETS, LOCK SCREEN & APPLE WATCH
Widgets that follow the sky for the time of day. Timers and departures on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. On Apple Watch, check departures and what's next today, and tap Done on an errand.

MONITOR MODE
Double-tap the Today picture for a calm full-screen monitor. The real sky for where you are (day, dusk, night, moon, constellations, shooting stars) moves with time while your plans and words appear slowly. Add a campfire or forest and sea sounds. Great on a desk while charging. A Mac version syncs through iCloud.

PRICE & PRIVACY
• All features are free. A small banner ad appears on some screens (never on Focus/Detox, the Lock Screen or widgets). Ads are not personalized.
• A one-time purchase removes the ads.
• Everything you enter is stored on your device and in your own iCloud; we can't see it. No account needed. Dates and repeats are calculated in the app, not by AI.

Requires iPhone with iOS 26 or later. The Apple Watch app requires a paired Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later. Location and calendar access are optional.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-23

You can now enter your train's departure times for a departure. Tap "Left" and your usual train and the next two line up, with the time remaining beside each. Not riding today? Tap "Skip."
The same timetable shows on widgets, the Lock Screen and Apple Watch, where you'll also find "Left" and "Skip."
Departures can now repeat every other week, monthly or every few days, and you can copy a past departure to start a new one.
In Monitor mode, the campfire is now a video of flames, the moon is a photo of the lunar surface, and the stars twinkle a little more.
Buttons now fit on screen when iPhone is held sideways.
