About

Lazy Invite

Features
Read full description

Lazy Invite turns plain text into a real calendar invite. Paste "Lunch with Sam Thursday 1pm at Café Nero" and get a valid .ics file you can save to your calendar, share with anyone, or hand off as a QR code. It all happens on your device. The AI model runs locally, so there's no account, no sign-up, and nothing is uploaded to a server. Works fully offline. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Text → invite — describe an event in everyday language; get a standards- compliant .ics back, ready for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. • Share anywhere — save the file, share it through any app, copy the raw .ics, or show a scannable QR code so someone can add the event by pointing a camera. • Contact cards — generate and share vCard (.vcf) contact files the same way. • History — every invite you make is kept on-device so you can reopen, re-share, or tweak it later. • Bookmarks — save links and notes in a clean, brutalist list. Optionally sync them across your own devices through a WebDAV server you control. • Protected categories — lock private bookmarks behind Face ID / fingerprint with an encrypted on-device vault and a recovery key. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • On-device AI — generation runs locally; your text never leaves the phone. • No account, no tracking, no ads. • Offline-first — once the model is downloaded, you don't need a connection. Lazy Invite is for anyone tired of fiddly event forms — just say what's happening and let the app build the invite.
