HOME SCREEN WEEK WIDGET • A real week view on your home screen, with every day and hour laid out in a time grid • Events that happen at the same time sit side by side, so nothing hides behind something else • All-day events shown at the top of each day • A "now" line, so you always know where you are in the day CONFLICT WARNING • Calendget checks your calendar for overlapping events • You get a notification when two events clash, with the time of the overlap and both event names • Each clash is reported once, and it disappears when you fix it WEEK NUMBERS • The week number on every view, which is handy for work, school and travel planning WORKS WITH YOUR CALENDAR • Uses the calendars already on your phone, so there's no new account to create TRY IT FREE, THEN PAY ONCE Start with a free 7-day trial that includes every feature.
