Stay on top of things, without holding it in your head. BrightMind is an assistant built for ADHD brains. It keeps your tasks, plans your day with you, reminds you, and calls you when it's time to begin. IT CHECKS IN ON YOU • A morning call that asks for your one thing today, at the time you choose • "Call me in ten minutes" and it does, to get you started or to see that you finished • Reminders that arrive as a notification or as a call, so nothing is missed • Urgent reminders ring like an alarm and keep ringing until you stop or snooze them • Ask once and it keeps happening: a daily check-in, a Friday review, a Sunday planning call YOUR DAY ON ONE SCREEN • Home shows today as a timeline: tasks, events and your morning and evening routines • Overdue pile? Tap it and clear it in one conversation, no guilt • Bedtime after midnight stays on today, because your day ends when you go to sleep YOUR TASKS LIVE HERE • Lists, subtasks, repeats and reminders, with every list in one Tasks tab • Already use TickTick, Todoist or Google Tasks? Connect it and BrightMind works on that list instead, with two-way sync • Google Calendar: finds open slots and plans around real meetings CAPTURE BEFORE IT VANISHES • "Buy milk tomorrow, and move the dentist to Friday": said once, filed with dates and lists • "Hey Siri, capture in BrightMind" from the Lock Screen, AirPods or CarPlay, and "Hey Siri, Brain Dump" on Apple Watch • Share a link, screenshot or photo from any app and BrightMind holds onto it • Control Center controls and Action Button support STUCK? ONE TINY STEP • "I need to clean my room but I can't start": a first step you can actually begin • One question at a time, no walls of text • Built for the moment when you know what to do and still can't start IT REMEMBERS YOU • No profile to fill in. Whatever you tell it or agree on, in a chat, a call or a brain dump, stays remembered • Every conversation starts from where you actually are, no recap needed IN YOUR LANGUAGE • The app and the assistant both work in your language • A natural voice that doesn't sound like AI, pick your voice and speed • Calm, distraction-free design WHAT USERS SAY "The proactive check-ins help keep me on track without being annoying." "It feels more like a digital assistant than just another chatbot." "That's what I was trying to make my Notion, my TickTick, my Siri, my Todoist do. None of them could."

Calendari is your calendar with a personal assistant that actually calls you. Manage your schedule by text or voice, get a call when it's time to leave — not just a push notification — and let your assistant make the calls you don't want to: booking a table, telling someone you're running late, or ringing you the moment an important email lands. Share plans with groups, see everything on a map, and keep it all in sync. SMART CALENDAR * Month view with events for the selected day; switch between your personal calendar and any group calendar. * Tap a date to open a day view with events grouped by time (All Day, Morning, Afternoon, Evening). * Create and edit events with title, date, start/end time, location, and notes. * Mark events as completed; events are stored locally on your device. AI ASSISTANT * Chat with an AI planning assistant by text or voice. * Create events by natural language ("Add dentist tomorrow at 2pm," "Bible study at 7pm for the Bible Study group"). * Ask about your schedule: "What's on my calendar today?", "Am I free tomorrow at 4pm?" * Planning and conflict checks: "Would next week be good for vacation?" * Recurring schedules, bulk edits, and rescheduling by voice or text. * Driving time between places, and suggested route order for multiple stops. * English and Spanish, both by text and by phone. PERSONAL PHONE ASSISTANT * Get your own dedicated phone number for your assistant — call it anytime, or have it call you. * Leave-by call reminders: instead of a generic alert, your assistant calls to tell you exactly when to walk out, based on real travel time. * Calls businesses on your behalf — book a table, a haircut, or an appointment, then calls you back with what happened. * Calls people for you — let someone know you're running late, or send one message to a whole group at once. * Try it free: dial the demo line or have Calendari call you, no account required. * Natural, human-sounding conversation. EMAIL * Connect your Gmail account (read-only) so your assistant can read messages aloud, search your inbox, and pull up a specific email in full. * Watch for an email from someone specific — your assistant calls you the moment it arrives. GROUPS AND COLLABORATION * Each group has its own calendar; switch between Personal and any group from the bottom bar. * Create or join a group with an invite code, or share a join link. * Set who can add events to a group: everyone, admins only, or the owner only. * Shared events sync automatically so every member sees them on the group calendar and map. MAP AND LOCATION * See your event locations on a map, with pins colored by group. * Tap a pin for directions. NOTIFICATIONS * Location-based "time to leave" alerts, timed using current traffic — as a push notification, or as a call from your assistant. * Reminder timing the AI sets automatically based on the type of event. ACCOUNT AND SYNC * Sign in with your Apple ID; profile picture, display name, and your groups sync via iCloud. * Delete your account anytime — this permanently removes your data, including from our servers. PERSONALIZATION * Five color themes with matching gradients and accents. * English or Spanish throughout, including onboarding and the AI. Personal Assistant is available as an in-app subscription. Pricing and terms are shown before you subscribe.
