This is Dawn, the minimal calendar to organize everything. Designed from the ground up, it's the most minimal and powerful calendar ever created. "Not overloaded with many features and design gimmicks like other calendars, simple and straight to the point that’s what I love. By far the best app that mixes calendar and to-do in a clean and very user friendly way." - Dawn AppStore user "While the overall feel is clean and minimalist there is a lot more functionality than one would think from simply glancing through the features" - Dawn Early Access user INTRODUCING DAWN Modern Calendars are complex and bloated with features. Dawn is minimalistic and straightforward, yet even more powerful. • Manage everything you need to do with a single app. Not two, not three. Dawn is your central hub for remembering and getting stuff done with coexisting events, todos, reminders, dues, and so on. • Focus on today with Dawn’s Today page, an adaptive homepage that changes as your day goes by. Quickly add tasks to your day and check off tasks you’ve completed. Dawn is the perfect everyday companion. • Sync your calendars and reminder lists to Dawn for a seamless experience. With Dawn's Spaces organizer, you'll be able to view your calendars as lists and further sort, categorize, and filter your events. • Introducing Spaces: innovative custom lists for you to visually organize todos and events. Group your tasks, create itineraries, manage projects, plan vacations, and more: the possibilities are endless. DESIGN Dawn is a calendar app designed like no other. We sought to create the most beautiful and functional calendar ever. • Everything is kept clean along with great attention to usability. If it's not essential, it won't be included into the final design. • An app that manages your days, your life, should focus just on you. Dawn is built to be private and tailored to individual needs. • From dawn to dusk, Dawn is meant to look stunning at all times. Choose a Light or Dark theme, or have Dawn switch automatically.
