Ryokai is your voice-first AI calendar assistant. Speak naturally and it plans your day around what actually matters - then keeps every calendar in sync so you are never double-booked. Most calendars just store your events. Ryōkai understands them. Tell it what you need in your own words and it schedules, reschedules, and protects your time like a chief of staff who knows your priorities. SPEAK, DON'T TYPE Tap the mic and talk. "Move my dentist to Thursday." "Find me two hours for deep work." "What's on tomorrow?" Ryōkai understands, acts, and reads the answer back. ONE CALENDAR, NEVER DOUBLE-BOOKED Connect your Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars. Ryōkai unifies them into a single view and keeps them in two-way sync, so a meeting on one shows as busy on all of them. A DAILY BRIEF THAT KNOWS YOU Open the app to a calm daily plan: what's still on your plate, what's overdue, and the one thing to do next. Ryōkai surfaces what matters now and protects your focus time. PLANS AROUND WHAT MATTERS Ryōkai doesn't just drop tasks onto a grid. Its scheduler places your work around your energy, your deadlines, and the things you've told it you care about - and explains why. LEARNS YOU OVER TIME The more you use it, the better it fits. Ryōkai remembers your preferences, goals, and the rhythms that actually work for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Turn on sealing to encrypt your chats, notes, memories, goals, and profile on your device, with a key only you hold in your iCloud Keychain - stored as data we cannot read. HONEST, NOT PUSHY Choose how Ryōkai works with you: a gentle coach that suggests, or an autonomous mode that rearranges within your rules and tells you after. It always asks before big moves. CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE (PRO) Let Ryōkai check drive times and weather and look things up, so it can plan around the real world. ---------- SUBSCRIPTIONS Ryōkai is free to start.
