Vimcal is the ultimate calendar designed for busy professionals and their teams. We invested two years into understanding the pain points of our first 10,000 users through 1:1 Zoom calls. This allowed us to map out all the different scenarios of corporate scheduling. The result? The world's fastest and most intuitive calendar app, built to streamline scheduling and boost your productivity at work, as well as the most robust harness for agentic scheduling. In Vimcal, you can accomplish anything you would in another calendar, but in half the steps or fewer and with no error. AGENTIC SCHEDULING Scheduling with voice, screenshots, or your AI personal assistant. Vimcal holds proprietary context about your meetings such as whether it's internal vs external, how important it is, or how many times it's already been rescheduled. Vimcal provides you the sturdiest guardrails for your time. BUILT FOR TEAMS Scheduling with your team is so much more complicated than just seeing what's open or blocked on the calendar. When your entire team uses Vimcal, all of Vimcal's context allows for the most accurate scheduling that aligns with everyone's schedules. NO MORE TIME ZONE PROBLEMS Time Travel — Find the best time between you and any other time zone in the world without any mental math. SCHEDULE WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH Slots — Sending a booking link feels transactional, but typing out your free times instead is tedious. Get the best of both worlds with our drag-and-copy availability feature! DECLUTTER BEAUTIFULLY Rainbow Events — No one likes seeing a full calendar. Let Vimcal take care of unnecessary meetings and declutter your mind. BUTTERY SMOOTH EVERYTHING 100ms Rule — We obsessively test every tap and interaction to give you the silkiest, fastest mobile experience. Upgrade your productivity and take control of your schedule with Vimcal. Download now and revolutionize the way you manage your time.

Antsy

Antsy is a simple countdown app for the days you're looking forward to, and for the people you're looking forward to them with. SHARE A LIST WITH YOUR PEOPLE Invite your partner, your family or a group of friends to your list. Everyone you invite can add, edit and delete events, and changes reach everyone through iCloud. Invites are private: only the people you invite can join, and you can stop sharing at any time. Plan a trip together, keep track of each other's birthdays, or count down to the special event as a family. YOUR NEXT EVENT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the Antsy widget and the next thing on your list is always a glance away, with the number of days to go. A REMINDER ON THE DAY When the day arrives, Antsy sends a reminder at 9 a.m. so it doesn't slip past you. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings. EASY TO READ, QUICK TO ADD • Every event shows a big, clear number of days to go. • Adding an event takes a name, a date and one of 12 colors. • Past events tuck away into their own section, out of sight but still there. • Looks at home in light and dark mode, and works with VoiceOver and larger text sizes. SYNCED WITH ICLOUD Your events live in your own iCloud account, so they're on every iPhone you're signed in to. You can still see your list when you're offline. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no account to create and nothing to sign up for. Antsy uses the iCloud account that's already on your iPhone. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and the developer can't see your events. Antsy doesn't collect any data. Antsy needs an iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later, signed in to iCloud.
