Your brain isn't a calendar. Composed is. Say "dentist Thursday at 2pm" — it's scheduled and reminded, and once it has a place, Composed tells you when to leave based on traffic. Snap a hotel or flight confirmation — Composed reads it and builds the trip for you to review, with check-in and boarding reminders from what it found. Type a birthday — Composed reminds you every year, and tells you how old they're turning when you include the year. This is AI planning that works the way you think. Not another app that waits for you to fill in fields. No red alerts. No overdue labels. No guilt. Just a calm, clear view of what's coming. WHAT COMPOSED DOES FOR YOU • Voice scheduling — say any event naturally. AI parses the details, sets reminders, and suggests prep when the event calls for it. • Screenshot import — snap a hotel or short-term rental booking, event poster, or flight confirmation. Composed reads it and fills in the event for you to review and confirm. • AI prep checklists — for the events that need preparation: research the company before an interview, pack before a trip. Everyday plans stay uncluttered. • Departure alerts — for events with a place, a leave-by estimate based on traffic and your route, refreshed whenever you open Composed. Allow location Always and it also updates after you move, with the app closed. • Live Activity — when it's time to leave for your next event, a countdown with the place and departure time appears on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. • Shared events — invite anyone and collect RSVPs; guests who use Composed can also propose a new time. • Widgets — 6 widget types for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. See what's next at a glance. • Calendar sync — your Apple Calendar and Google Calendar in one timeline. Turn on sync and what you add in Composed goes back to them. • Birthday tracker — add once. Get reminded every year, with the age they're turning when you've added the year. • Month view — your whole month laid out, clean and uncluttered. Tap any day to see what's planned. • To-do list — deadlines, tasks, and sub-items live alongside your events, not in a separate app. • Notes — capture anything, organized in folders. Link notes to events. • Photo attachments — add photos to any event. • Offline — see your plans, edit them, and jot down to-dos without a connection. Changes sync when you're back. Every feature above is free for up to 5 active items you add — events and to-dos alike — and anything imported from your calendar doesn't count. Composed Pro removes the limit, as an optional subscription or a one-time Founder Edition. Terms of Use (EULA): https://staycomposed.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://staycomposed.app/privacy
