GlanceCal

Features
Read full description

A viewer that lets you see your calendar and reminder information at a glance when you want to know "what's next." It consolidates your schedule and to-do items into a chronological view, allowing you to check plans for today, this week, this month, and beyond. Unlike standard calendar layouts, it is specifically designed to give you an overview of what lies ahead. It is useful for managing work projects and deadlines, organizing family schedules, and tracking events ranging from the short term to the long term. Additional features include a countdown to events (with adjustments for working days) and the integration of multiple calendars and reminders. It works not only on iPhone but also on the larger screens of iPad and Mac (Apple Silicon models). As it relies on color-coding for its display, it does not support Dark Mode.
