■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. :)
