## What is My Year?

My Year is the calendar app built for the big picture, showing your entire year in one view. Easily spot free weekends, plan long-term trips, or manage a busy schedule. My Year helps you visualize your time so you can spend less managing it.

Your data stays private on your device by default. My Year requires no accounts. The 'My Friends' feature is optional, but does require an account to share event dates with friends.

The Big Picture
* Full-Year View: See all 12 months at once. Flip to landscape for a wide-angle perspective.
* Calendar Profiles: Choose which calendars to overlay and save them in sets, switching between them with a tap.
* One Button: Access all settings under a single menu that also displays the current day and week number of the year.
* Widgets: A full-year overview or a compact monthly snapshot, right on your home screen, enhanced with event count and heat map toggles.
Smart Planning & Organization
* Full Sync: Integrated with Apple Calendar (works with iCloud, Google, Outlook, and more as configured in Apple Settings). Create, edit, and delete events in sync.
* Event Search: Find any event by name or calendar, with highlighted, one-tap editing.
* Pin & Countdown: Pin important events to the top of their day, or set a custom countdown to your next big milestone.
* Zoom: Pinch to zoom for a closer look at your events.
Connect & Share
* Friends Calendar Sharing: Opt-in sharing that lets you coordinate with friends. Privacy-first: only busy/free status is shared, in date-only format ("YYYY-MM-DD") never event titles or details, and only the calendars you choose.
Your Layout, Your Rules
* Custom Themes: Pick from curated pastels or build your own with full hex color pickers.
* Visual Control: Toggle gray-fading for past days, rounded or rigid corners, show/hide extra labels, or use short/shorter day names.
* Detailed Views: Tap any day to see all events in a list.

### 5/5 — Amazing Widget and App

*2026-05-23*

I love this all in one app. I have a custom theme that works best for me. The widget lets me take in my full year in a second! There are so many customization options that it is perfect for me.

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE

*2026-05-19*

I love being able to see and plan my year months in advance. As a med student with a block class schedule this app makes planning so easy! I also love the ability to customize the colours (team pink theme). The widget is great to see at a glance when I’m busy. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Love seeing my whole year at once

*2026-05-14*

This app is such a simple idea, but it’s honestly so useful. I love being able to see my entire year laid out in one view instead of constantly jumping month to month. The color coding makes it easy to spot busy stretches, open days, trips, events, and patterns in my schedule at a glance. It feels clean, visual, and way more intuitive than a normal calendar. Super excited to keep using it throughout the year!
