Create events faster than you ever thought possible. Appoint learns how you schedule — suggesting titles, times, locations, and details before you finish typing. It's a calendar built for people who value their time. SMART INPUT Type "3pm" or "9-12am" and Appoint sets the time. Type "1.5h" and it sets the duration. Start typing a title and it suggests the rest — prefilling time, calendar, notes, and recurrence from your history. Contact names are detected automatically. All of this works in any language. EVERY VIEW YOU NEED Day, week, month, and list views — each designed for a different purpose. Pinch to zoom in day and week views. See relative dates in the list view ("today", "in 3 weeks"). Color-coded dots in month view show how busy each day is at a glance. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from over a dozen built-in color themes — or create your own from scratch. Light, dark, colorful, minimal — Appoint looks the way you want it to. Event colors adapt automatically to your chosen theme so everything stays readable and beautiful. Customize work hours, week start day, default duration, and preferred map app. DRAG & DROP Long-press to move events between times and days. Quickly reschedule without opening a single form. STATISTICS See exactly where your time goes. Break your schedule down by calendar and time period, spot your busiest days and recurring commitments, and watch the numbers update as you pick any date range. Export any range to CSV or ICS when you need the raw data. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud services, no tracking. Appoint works with iCloud, Google, Exchange, or any calendar service supported by iOS — but all the intelligence happens locally on your phone. SUN & MOON See sunrise and sunset times as subtle markers on your day and week timelines — calculated for your location, updating with the seasons. Moon phases appear on the month grid so you always know when the next full or new moon is. Astronomically accurate, no internet needed. Appoint only uses your approximate location — no precise tracking. WIDGETS Event countdown, upcoming schedule, sunrise & sunset forecast, and a full-year daylight chart — right on your home screen. Seven widgets in three sizes, each with theme support. ALSO INCLUDED - Powerful search across all fields and views - Scheduling conflict detection - Recurrence rules for repeating events - Multiple alarms and reminders - Invitations management - Integrated maps with turn-by-turn directions - Timezone support - Full iPad support Syncs with the built-in Calendar app — your events are always up to date. A one-time Appoint Pro purchase unlocks even more — no subscription, yours forever. Already bought Appoint? You already have Pro, with our thanks. feedback@appointcal.com

Infoplane (formerly Infos) remembers everything, so you don't have to. From your partner's social security number to the seasonal settings for your heating, Infoplane stores all the little pieces of information you have been struggling to organize. You can manage up to 10 infos for free -- unlock unlimited infos with your choice of a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase. ALL YOUR INFOS There are a lot of small infos that do not really "fit" anywhere: your kids health insurance policy numbers, the license key for your favorite Mac app, you name it. Infoplane was created to let you store these information pieces in a fast and intuitive way while providing only minimal ways (tags, stacks, categories) to organize them -- keeping things intentionally simple. QUICK INFOS SEARCH Infoplane's super simple user interface is optimized for efficient access to information: the search bar is always on top allowing you to quickly search for text and tags (using a keyboard shortcut on your iPad) -- optionally narrowed down via the categories filter. In addition, Infoplane uses Core Spotlight to index information making it possible to find infos also via Spotlight and Siri. SMART & SIRI-ENABLED Every time you look up an info we let Siri know (of course only if you allow it and Siri is enabled). Over time this will allow Siri to suggest some infos proactively based on the time of day, your current location, or other usage patterns. Additionally we support Siri Shortcuts allowing you to automate your information-based workflows in an easy way. PRIVATELY SYNCED ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Infoplane uses Apple's secure iCloud to sync your infos across all your devices. This ensures a high level of privacy and there is no need for a separate account. Simply switch on "iCloud" in the General preferences view of the app on each device you want to have synced. KEY FEATURES - Clear User Interface. Optimized for quickly retrieving and adding short infos - Tag-based Search. Search smarter by using tags in your info notes - Organize using Stacks. Consolidate related infos into simple stacks - Filtering by Category. Use categories for narrowing search queries and for coloring info cards - Links & Attachments. Enrich your infos optionally with link and file attachments - Markdown. Use Markdown to bring more structure into your short notes - Spotlight Integration. Your infos also show up in the built-in Spotlight search - Siri Shortcuts. Supports Siri Shortcuts for easy automation of repetitive workflows - Keyboard Shortcuts. Work more efficiently on your iPad using keyboard shortcuts - URL Scheme API. Simple URL scheme-based API, e.g., for creating new infos from other apps - Syncing via iCloud. Transparent syncing via Apple's iCloud -- no separate account needed - Privacy by Design. Your infos stay on your devices and on your iCloud account only TERMS OF USE Infoplane uses the standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
