Simple Schedule turns a month of repeat events into a few taps. Create templates for the things you do again and again: work shifts, classes, school pickup, the gym, family dinners. Pick one, then tap or drag across the days it happens. Different templates can share a day, so your work, the kids' school and family plans all fit together. Publish the month to the calendar you already use: iCloud, Google, or any calendar on your iPhone. Each template can go to its own calendar. Change a day later and tap Update Calendar; the same event is updated, never duplicated. • Edit just one day: new times, a different location, notes, or slide it earlier or later • All-day templates for vacations, days off and custody days • Address suggestions, so iOS Calendar can give Time to Leave alerts • See what's already on your calendars, and edit or delete it • Undo and redo, light and dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type • Export any month as an .ics file No account, no ads, no tracking. Your schedule stays on your iPhone. Free, with optional tips that unlock nothing.
