Important Note: This app requires IOS 18+ and an iPhone and iPad that can support Apple Intelligence. All About Me is your personal daily dashboard — a premium, all-in-one iOS app that brings together everything you need to start your day with clarity and confidence. Stop jumping between five different apps to piece together your morning. All About Me pulls your news, calendar, reminders, health data, commute times, and weather into a single, beautifully designed interface that feels as good as it looks. YOUR DAILY BRIEFING, INTELLIGENTLY SUMMARISED Every morning, All About Me's AI-powered Daily Briefing gives you a crisp summary of what matters — today's calendar events, outstanding reminders, and the top headlines — in a single glance. Powered by Apple Intelligence, the briefing refreshes automatically in the background every three hours so you're always up to date, without lifting a finger. BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN All About Me isn't another list-based productivity app. Inspired by premium editorial publications, it features a fully customisable bento-grid home screen where every card earns its place. Add, remove, and rearrange widgets to build the dashboard that fits your life. Rich gradients, rounded cards, and subtle depth make every session a pleasure. STAY INFORMED, YOUR WAY The News tab aggregates RSS feeds from your favourite sources across World, Business, Technology, Health, Lifestyle, Entertainment, and Sport. The Deep Dive tab lets you follow curated knowledge topics — AI, Climate, Space, Economy, Geopolitics, Cybersecurity, and more — drawing from your feeds and grouping stories intelligently. And with World Pulse, explore today's headlines on an interactive map, seeing exactly where in the world events are unfolding. HEALTH AT A GLANCE All About Me integrates with HealthKit to surface your daily Readiness Score — a 0–100 rating based on sleep quality, resting heart rate, and step progress. Know instantly whether today is a day to push hard or to take it easy. COMMUTE SMARTER Save your frequent destinations and All About Me will show live travel times so you always know when to leave. Whether it's the office, the gym, or the school run, your commute intelligence is always one tap away.
