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

About

SwiftPaper

SwiftPaper turns your iPhone into a private document scanner. ID cards, contracts, medical records — every scan is processed on your device and never uploaded to any server. No watermark, no account, no sign-up — just scan, enhance and share. ◆ BLAZING-FAST SCANNING Powered by Apple's system-grade document scanning engine: edges are detected and pages captured automatically, perspective-corrected the instant you shoot. Snap a whole stack in one go and drag to reorder. Scanning an open book? Split the spread into left and right pages with one tap. ◆ 4 ENHANCEMENT FILTERS Original, Grayscale, sharp Black & White and smart Enhance that whitens the page while keeping colors vivid. Fine-tune brightness and contrast per page. ◆ OFFLINE TEXT RECOGNITION (OCR) Recognize printed text in English and Chinese — completely offline. Copy everything, or export as a text file. Search your library by content, and jump to the exact text block on each page to copy just what you need. ◆ ID CARD & PASSPORT MODE Scan ID cards, driver's licenses, bank cards and passports. Front and back are merged onto a single A4 page automatically — no manual cropping needed. ◆ EXPORT YOUR WAY Save polished PDFs (fit / A4 / Letter, with a default-size option to skip the prompt), shrink large files with PDF compression, or protect sensitive documents with a password. Exports of 5 pages or fewer are free 3 times a day; larger exports take a quick rewarded video. ◆ YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED Browse by folder, multi-select to move, merge or delete, switch between grid and list views, and sort by name, date or page count. ◆ PRIVATE BY DESIGN All processing happens on your device. No accounts, no tracking. Optional iCloud sync (off by default) keeps your library in your own private iCloud space across devices. Lock the app with Face ID. ◆ MADE TO STAY FREE No watermark on any export, ever. Only very large exports occasionally ask you to watch a short video. SwiftPaper Pro (one-time purchase) removes all limits — no subscriptions. Privacy: all scanning and OCR happen on your device, and no photo or recognised text ever leaves it. Only the advertising SDKs used in your region collect device identifiers, and only when ads are shown; see our privacy policy for details.
