UNDERSTAND TIME AS A WHOLE Most calendars organize time into boxes. But time unfolds through rhythms and cycles. CircleTime is a visual calendar that reflects that reality. Plan your day, week, and month with a clear visual calendar that helps you understand time as a connected whole. Events, reminders, tasks, weather, daylight, moon phases, and activity come together in one connected view. The circular view gives clarity at a glance. You see when the day begins, when light fades, when routines fit, and when rest comes. Less overwhelm, more focus. Discover patterns that traditional calendars often hide. Understand how your plans, movement, and natural rhythms fit together throughout the day. Instead of switching between apps, lists, and trackers, everything is organized in a single timeline that helps you stay focused, reduce overwhelm, and plan with greater clarity. FEATURES • See your entire day, week, and month at a glance • Never lose track of events, reminders, or tasks • Plan with daylight, weather, and lunar awareness • Understand when your activity happens, not just how much • Stay focused with a visual timeline that reduces overwhelm • Keep your schedule close with widgets and Apple Watch PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays private on your device.

About

GetOrlo

GetOrlo is built for the things you shouldn't forget but often do. From house insurance and road tax to TV licences, subscriptions, warranties, and passports, GetOrlo now recognises 18 different document types, including compliance certificates, school letters, and pet records. Upload a screenshot, PDF, or photo, and AI automatically extracts the details that matter: renewal dates, due dates, providers, and amounts. Every document gets a reminder schedule that actually fits it. Insurance and MOT renewals get weeks of notice. Passports get six months. Council tax instalments get a nudge before each one is due. You'll get timely email and push notifications, so nothing slips through the cracks, and you can review and edit anything before it's saved. GetOrlo also tracks what things cost. Upload this year's insurance and it links automatically to last year's, so you can see price changes at a glance. Your household dashboard shows total monthly costs, upcoming renewals, and spending trends in one place, and your Year in Review sums up the whole year every January. Keep different parts of life separate with workspaces. Personal, household, business, or a workspace per rental property, each with its own inbox, reminders, and dashboard. Invite a partner or your accountant in as a collaborator, or generate a read only link to a single document or a whole workspace for anyone who doesn't need an account at all, with full control to see who's viewed it and revoke access any time. Forward documents straight from your inbox with your own personal GetOrlo email address, no manual uploading required. Pro users also get a built in calendar, so renewal deadlines sit alongside everything else on your schedule. GetOrlo is secure by design, with private document storage and no unnecessary complexity. Just a clean, reliable system that works quietly in the background. More features are on the way. This is just the beginning.
