## What is NowSense?

You check the clock. You open the calendar. You still lose track of how long until the next thing.

NowSense puts the next thing on your Lock Screen with a live countdown. You see what it is, when it starts, and how long you have left. Wake your phone and it is already there.

HOW IT WORKS
• Compose — name, time, save
• Lock — Live Activity countdown on the Lock Screen
• Timeline — next hours, Now marked

PROGRESSIVE ALERTS
Optional escalating local reminders help you catch the next thing before it arrives. A coach tone when you want it. Different wording if you are heading out or joining a call.

Also on Free: 3 one-time milestones, one palette, and Live Activity on. No account.

PRO — $4.99 ONCE
• Unlimited milestones
• Recurring milestones
• Extra colors
• Sync Calendars — pick which calendars on your iPhone feed your timeline
• Up Next Home Screen widgets — medium, large, and a small dial

Built for a glance at what is next. On your iPhone.
