Today Only is not a calendar designed to help you schedule more. Most calendar apps focus on plans, to-do lists, and productivity. Today Only shows just one day: today. There are no crowded schedules and no pressure to accomplish more. We hope it helps you set aside your worries about the future and bring your attention back to the day unfolding in front of you. Every day, the app offers a different theme: Notice a sound you would normally miss. Look out the window for a moment. Remember the quietest part of your day. Or write one sentence about today. These are not tasks. They are gentle invitations to slow down and notice the small moments that are easy to overlook. See Only Today Open the app and you will see only today’s date and content. Yesterday has passed, and tomorrow has not arrived yet. Today deserves your attention. A Small Theme Every Day New words and illustrations invite you to observe, reflect, or try a simple interaction. There are no streaks to maintain and no pressure to complete anything. Remember How Today Feels Choose from five moods and select the one closest to how you feel. Each day receives a simple emotional marker of its own. Color Walk Spin the color wheel and let it choose a color for today. Carry that color with you and look for matching objects, light, details, and scenery in the world around you. Add up to nine photos, adjust the crop and framing of each image, then choose a layout to create and share a color card for the day. Once every month, a special Color Walk theme appears and offers a new way to notice your surroundings. It is not another challenge to complete. It is simply a quiet walk through color. Keep Today in Your Own Way Write a sentence, take photos, or draw freely on the calendar card. Everything is saved by date, so your notes and memories will still be there when you return. Make the Calendar Feel Like Yours Choose different card styles, fonts, and text colors. The theme color also changes from day to day, giving each day a character of its own. Designed for iPhone and iPad Carry today with you on iPhone, or use the spacious landscape experience on iPad to reflect and record more comfortably. Life does not need to feel productive every day. Sometimes, noticing what is here and living the day with care is already enough. Today does not have to be completely full. Today Only.
