Read full description

PolyCal is a relationship‑first calendar for people who share their life with more than one "inner circle." Instead of guessing where you'll be or who you'll be with, you can map it out clearly, fairly, and lovingly. Plan your nights and quality time • Tap on a day, choose a person, assign a color, and instantly see where you'll be sleeping or who you'll be with that night. • Mark any evening as a date night or special time so it stands out at a glance. • Quickly adjust plans when life changes — drag, edit, or reassign nights in seconds. Built for complex family setups • PolyCal shines when your relationships don't fit in a simple one‑household calendar: • A partner or parent rotating between different homes or cities • Blended or step‑families coordinating time with multiple parents and kids • Someone dating or courting multiple people and wanting to be thoughtful and fair with time • Any situation where you want a clear, honest plan for how you'll share yourself with the people who matter most Color‑coded clarity • Assign each person their own color so your schedule is instantly readable. • See patterns and imbalances right away, then rebalance with just a few taps. • Use colors to represent partners, kids, close friends, or even locations — whatever makes sense for your life. Works with your existing calendars • Add your plans from PolyCal into your preferred phone calendar. • View PolyCal events alongside work, school, or travel so you can schedule around real‑life commitments. • Keep everything in sync so you're not double‑booked or caught off guard. Designed for real‑world flexibility • Life changes. People get sick, trips pop up, kids need extra attention. PolyCal makes it easy to: • Move nights or dates without rebuilding your entire plan • Try different patterns and see what feels fair and sustainable • Keep everyone's time visible, so you can have calmer, clearer conversations PolyCal is for anyone who wants to be more intentional with how they share their time—with one partner or many, one home or several. It gives you a simple, visual way to honor your commitments, nurture every important relationship, and build a happier, more balanced life together.
