Your full year, always in view. Most calendar apps keep you stuck on this week. Full Year Calendar flips that: you start from the big picture, see everything at once, and decide what matters from there. SEE YOUR WHOLE YEAR AT ONCE All 12 months on one screen. You see instantly where you stand, what's coming up, and where you still have space. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS The Full Year Calendar view shows only your three biggest events per day, the things that actually shape your year. Birthdays, holidays, vacations, school breaks. Zoom into the week or day view when you need the details. TURN A PHOTO INTO EVENTS Snap a photo of a schedule, invitation, or class timetable and Full Year Calendar turns it into events and tasks in seconds. Just review and save. Your photo never leaves your device — only the text is analyzed. TASKS THAT WORK LIKE EVENTS Add reminders right alongside your events. Drag them to a new day, stretch them across several days, and check them off with a tap — in any view. NOTHING SNEAKS UP ON YOU When your whole year is always visible, you're always prepared. You see what's coming. You stay in control, not whoever booked your calendar last. This is the calendar for people who plan ahead: the parent, the partner, the professional who runs their life instead of reacting to it. GOOD TO KNOW Works with your existing iOS Calendar. No account, no setup. Just open and go. YOUR YEAR ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widgets and see your key events at a glance without opening the app. PRIVACY FIRST Your calendar stays on your device. No ads, no tracking, no accounts. The optional photo-to-events feature sends only the text read from a photo you pick — never the photo, and never your calendar. FULL YEAR PRO Full Year Calendar comes with a 14-day free trial. Explore every feature — the full year view, widgets, photo-to-events, color themes, and more. After the trial, a subscription keeps everything unlocked.
