See Apple Calendar events and Reminders together in one clear timeline. Timelane helps you see what is happening now, what still needs attention, and what comes next. Keep using your existing calendars and reminder lists, with a focused view of the day ahead. YOUR DAY, ASSEMBLED See overdue work, today’s events and reminders, and the days ahead in one continuous timeline. Move through dates naturally, complete reminders where they appear, and keep the day in context. A PLACE FOR UNDATED TASKS Reminders without a date stay visible in Needs Scheduling until you decide where they belong. Nothing disappears simply because it has not reached the calendar yet. CALENDAR AND REMINDERS STAY IN CHARGE Timelane works directly with Apple Calendar and Reminders. There is no separate account to create. Your information remains available in Apple’s apps and syncs through the services you already use. BUILT FOR ALL YOUR SCREENS • iPhone and iPad keep the full timeline close at hand • Mac gives the day more room to breathe • Apple Watch shows what is next and supports quick task entry • Home Screen widgets keep the timeline and calendar visible • Apple Watch complications surface upcoming items at a glance THE DETAILS WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD Choose which calendars and reminder lists appear. Create and edit events and tasks. Keep repeating reminders useful, see today’s completed items, set optional notifications, and mark important reminders as deadlines. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Timelane does not collect your calendar events or reminders. It reads and updates the Apple databases on your devices only with the access you grant. Productivity should not become another project. Timelane helps you see the day clearly, handle what matters, and move on.
