■1. What Does This App Do? This app is designed to help you schedule your "next appointment" and add it to your calendar. At first glance, you might wonder, “Do I really need an app for that?” However, if you’ve ever found yourself in situations like the following, it might be worth giving it a try: - At the dentist, trying to schedule your next appointment three months out, but fumbling to flip through the calendar. - Booking a time you thought was free, only to later realize it conflicts with another event. ■2. How Does It Work? Once you set up your preferred scheduling intervals in advance, the app allows you to: - Display the date/time for the next appointment (based on your set interval). - Make small adjustments if needed, then register the appointment to your calendar. That’s all there is to it! ■3. Additional Benefits Even with such a simple feature set, adding one more setting can make your calendar even more convenient. For example, if you include a location in your appointment template, you’ll get a notification like, “It’s time to leave,” around the time you should head out. This is actually a built-in feature of the iOS Calendar app, but manually adding locations every time can be a hassle or easy to forget. By pre-setting this in the app, you can enjoy the convenience with just one tap. ■4. Usage Examples - Haircuts: Every 7 weeks - Dentist Appointments: Every 3 months To be honest, I currently only use the app for these two scenarios, which means I use it about once a month on average. :)

You start with a blank canvas and build the widget layer by layer: photos from your library, your own text, icons, a live clock, a calendar, a countdown. Move it, rotate it, restyle it, undo it. Up to 24 layers in a single widget. NEW IN 2.0 — DISCOVER Browse widgets the community shared, tap a design to see who made it, and add it to your collection in one tap. Share your own designs whenever you want. Like the ones you love. Report or block anything you don't. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • Photo stickers from your own library, with dim and blur • Text layers — font, size, alignment, color, opacity, effects, rotation • Analog and digital clocks • Calendar and date layers • Countdown and count-up timers • Icon layers from Apple's SF Symbols • Backgrounds: solid colors, 5-stop gradients, patterned borders THREE SIZES Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets. Pick a size, design for it, and the system widget picker only offers the designs that fit. FREE, WITH NO CATCH No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads. No paywalled layers. Nothing is counted, nothing is capped. YOUR DESIGNS STAY YOURS Widget designs are stored on your device — not uploaded, not synced, not scanned. Photos you add never leave your phone unless you choose to share that design on Discover. Signing in is optional and unlocks nothing; it's only there for Discover and to sync your language across devices. NINE LANGUAGES Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese. Questions or ideas? There's a support form right inside the app, under Settings → About.
