Snap a photo of a flyer. Forward an event email. Paste a link. Calendar Vision uses AI to read the details and create a ready-to-save calendar event — title, time, location, and repeating schedule included. No typing. No editing. Just tap Add. Works on anything with event information: • Photos of flyers, posters, mailers, and printed calendars • Screenshots from Instagram, Facebook, or anywhere else • Forwarded event invitation and newsletter emails • Eventbrite, Meetup, and other web page URLs Smarter than iOS Photos built-in extraction: iOS Photos sees a time on a flyer and creates a blank, unnamed event. Calendar Vision reads the flyer the way you would — it finds the event name, picks up the venue address, and recognizes when something repeats every week. You get a complete event that's ready to save with one tap, not a half-finished draft you still have to fill in yourself. Syncs with every calendar app you already use: Add events directly to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, or subscribe to your personal Calendar Vision feed from any app that supports iCal — Fantastical, Outlook, Calendars 5, and more. Key features: • AI extracts event name, date, time, location, and description automatically • Detects recurring schedules — weekly, monthly, and more • Forward emails to your personal Calendar Vision address for instant extraction • Paste a web page URL to pull events from Eventbrite, Meetup, and similar sites • iCal feed subscription keeps all your calendars in sync automatically • Works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and any iCal-compatible app • Start free — no account required to try Free plan: 10 events per month at no cost. Pro: Unlimited events for $3.99/month or $39.99/year. Download free and turn your first photo into a calendar event in under a minute. Terms of Service: https://calendarvision.app/terms

Write messy. Find the patterns later. Orbit is a calm place to dump every thought — work, life, half-formed ideas — and make sense of them later. Not a diary. Not a wellness app. A mind you can search. Most notes go somewhere to be forgotten. Orbit is built for the opposite: the more you write, the more it gives back. CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION Open Orbit and write. No folders to pick, no tags to invent, no blank-page ceremony. Get the thought down — from the app, the Share Sheet, or a Home Screen widget — and move on. ASK YOUR OWN MIND ANYTHING Later, ask Orbit a real question — "what have I been worried about lately?", "what did I decide about the launch?" — and get an answer drawn from everything you've written, alongside the entries it came from. FIND THE PATTERNS YOU'D MISS Orbit quietly surfaces the themes running through your thinking — the ideas you keep circling back to, the worries that recur — so you can see what's hard to notice one entry at a time. A WEEKLY LOOK BACK Each week, Orbit reflects your thinking back to you: what you focused on, what shifted, what's worth returning to. BUILT TO BE CALM One clear thing to do on every screen. A warm, editorial design that feels more like paper than a dashboard. No streaks, no badges, no guilt. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Only you can see what you write. Orbit is a place for your real, unfiltered thinking. Write messy. Orbit finds the patterns later.
