Tapless is a calendar you fill in by chatting with an AI. Stop typing events into forms — just say what you have on. ■ Create events by chatting Say "meeting tomorrow at 3pm" or "doctor next Tuesday" in the words you'd normally use. The AI works out the date, time and title and puts it in your calendar. No more wrestling with input screens. Handy for things like: • "shopping this weekend" — the AI works out which Saturday you mean • "meeting every Monday at 10" — sets up the repeat for you • "welcome party next Friday at 7pm" — plain speech, straight into the calendar ■ Shift rosters and timetables, from a photo Send a photo of your work roster or class timetable and the AI reads several events out of it at once. No typing a month of shifts by hand. ■ Today's schedule with a back tap Assign the Tapless shortcut to your iPhone's Back Tap, and two taps on the back of the phone put today's schedule on your Lock Screen. No hunting for the app. ■ Share a calendar Share a calendar with family, friends or your club. Send an invite link to let them join, and manage what each member can do. ■ Weather and calendar extras See a seven-day forecast right on the month view. Japanese public holidays and Rokuyō are supported in Japan. ■ Also included • Repeating events (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) • Reminder notifications, with the timing up to you • Multi-day and all-day events • Dark mode • Ten languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese ■ About your data Your events are stored encrypted in the cloud, so they follow you to a new phone or a second device.
