You're not at the start. You're not at the finish line. You're in the middle, where life actually happens. The morning rush. The overlapping schedules. The "did anyone grab groceries?" messages that never get answered. The middle is messy and loud and nonstop, and no one is coming to organize it for you. Velani is one place where your household stays anchored. Shared calendars, tasks, notes, and conversations, all in one secure space. No outsiders. No spam. No friend requests. Just your people, finally in sync. And if it is just you? Velani is still for you. One person with a life that needs managing is a household too. Appointments, errands, reminders, and the mental load of keeping it all straight. Velani gives you one calm place to hold it so nothing lives in your head or scattered across ten apps. It does not matter if Velani is just for you, you and your partner, your kids, your whole family, or you are helping care for aging parents and in laws. Solo or surrounded by people. However your household looks today, Velani is built for it. THE CALENDAR IS FREE See everyone's schedule in one place, or just yours. Week view puts the days ahead front and center. Filter by person or see the whole household at once. Real time updates so nothing slips through. Weather on every event so you are never caught off guard. Add checklists to events for packing, errands, and what to bring. Maps come to events. Start typing a location and pick from live suggestions — no more typos or vague addresses. Event details show a map preview, and one tap opens directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps. Connect Google, Apple Calendar, or Outlook if you already live there. YOUR HUB Velani opens on Hub, your home base. Swap between members on the carousel, see today's events, tasks, and notes at a glance, and use quick actions to add an event, task, or note in one tap. Tap into any member's week without asking. Stay in the loop without the group text chaos. The Family Map lives here too. Opt in to Location Sharing and see where your household is — a live map on your Hub, and a full-screen map whenever you need it. Sharing is completely your choice: pause anytime, turn it off, or hide the map on your device. Velani shares only your latest spot — never a movement history. Save places like Home or School and get alerts when family arrives or leaves. TASKS Create a task. Assign it, or keep it for yourself. Everyone knows what is theirs. Checklists and visual progress keep things moving. Notifications when you are assigned or when something changes. No more "I didn't know that was mine." NOTES Everything you or your family needs to remember, in one place. Doctor info, school details, packing lists, babysitter instructions, and more. Tag members, pin what matters, and choose who can see each note. THREADS Household chat that stays with your household. Share photos. Run polls. What is for dinner? Vote on it. Keep conversations in Velani instead of buried in texts. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Glance at upcoming events from your Home Screen. Member photos and real calendar data, with privacy built in. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your household's information stays with your household. No ads. No data selling. No strangers. Just the people under your roof. Location sharing is opt-in, and you stay in control — pause it, turn it off, or keep your spot private while still seeing everyone else. SUBSCRIPTION Velani requires a subscription for premium features including Tasks, Notes, Thread, widgets, and Family Map. Start with 14 days free, then $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. One subscription covers your whole household with Apple Family Sharing. Less chaos. More time for what matters. Because life together should flow, not overwhelm.

Koda App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most apps on your phone know one thing about you. Koda knows them all. Calendar, reminders, money, health, and weather gathered in one place, with optional AI that can read all of it. Ask things like "why did I sleep poorly last Tuesday?" or "show me weeks I spent more and worked out less". Today. Events, reminders, the day's weather, contact birthdays, and a money pulse on one page, laid out on a time axis that stretches around the hours where something is actually happening. Plan. Calendar and lists in one tab. Drag to reorganize, type to add. Health. Workouts with HR zones and route maps, sleep stages, a recovery score, 30-day trends. A check in records how you are feeling and saves it to Apple Health as State of Mind, so your mood sits next to the sleep and training that shaped it. Weather is event-aware. Forecasts pinned to the locations you actually have meetings at, severe-weather alerts on the day, and a "best outdoor window" scan across the next 24 hours. Built for iPhone Duo. Unfolded, Koda uses the whole canvas rather than stretching a phone layout across it. The calendar sits beside the day you picked, your accounts beside the transaction, the health summary beside the metric you tapped. The same layouts carry over to iPad. Free includes Today, Plan, Health, Weather, and manual capture. Premium adds Money, Koda (chat, briefs, and smart capture). Money. Link Apple Card, Apple Cash, and Apple Savings directly through Apple's FinanceKit, no middleman. For everything else, connect a bank through Plaid. Either way, you get month-to-date pace, recurring charges, top categories, and transactions tied to the calendar events they happened around. Koda. Daily and weekly briefs synthesize across calendar, sleep, money, weather, and workouts in plain prose. Chat answers from your own data with sources cited. Smart Capture turns plain language into the right kind of entry: type or speak "coffee with Maya Tuesday at 10, remind me to call the dentist Thursday, journal: rough day but the run helped" and each piece lands as an event, reminder, or journal note. Built on Anthropic's Claude. Privacy is local-first. Calendar, reminders, transactions, chat history, and pattern detection stay on your device. Journals, workout notes, and briefs sync between your own devices through iCloud's private database, not our servers. AI features are opt-in by category, off by default for Health, and every domain (Calendar, Money, Health, Contacts, Location, About Me, Journal) has its own switch. No ads. No tracking. We don't sell your data. Premium is $7.99 a month or $69 a year, with a 7-day free trial on annual. The in-app demo runs on sample data if you want to look around first. ****Premium is currently only available in US and Canada. Sign in with Apple. iOS 18 or later.
