Presently helps you stay focused on what's happening now in relation to what's coming next. It uses the calendars you already have in your Apple Calendars app and displays them in a better, more interactive way. You can use the app to focus on the present while it shows how much time is left in an event or when an event will start. This can be done in the app, or through widgets or even live activities on the lock screen. I personally love using it, and I hope you will too. Tap an event to check it off and it will adjust the time to the next event. Don't want to see an event? Easily hide and unhide events. Lots more... I wanted the core features (those that I always wanted from an app) to be free for everyone. I also made some compelling features to unlock if you feel like supporting the app and future development. Primarily, I wanted this to be simple, easy, useful, and fun to use. I'd encourage you to look around at the other developers’ paid apps if this app isn't exactly what you are looking for. Contact me directly, and I'll throw out some app names I have really liked but weren't quite what I wanted. Please be thoughtful and kind in your reviews.
