WeekSpark makes weekly planning something you actually look forward to. It's a weekly calendar built for real life: school schedules on Monday, a dentist appointment on Wednesday, a grocery list for the weekend, and mom's birthday that shows up on its own, year after year. Here's how WeekSpark helps you: Weather: the app shows the local weather in your calendar if you share your location. Completely optional, the rest of the app works just as well without it. Notes that handle everything Write freely, set a time, color-code by person or category (work, family, hobbies), and edit anytime — text always wraps in full, nothing gets cut off. Checklists for groceries and to-dos Turn any note into a checklist with tappable checkboxes — perfect for the weekly shop or a packing list. Recurring days Set a note to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly — without typing it in again every time. Alarms you'll actually hear Set a time and an alarm on any note, with or without sound. A clear alert pops up right when it's time. Important dates, forever Add birthdays, engagements, and anniversaries once — they show up automatically every year, with a countdown and age, marked in gold right in your calendar. Search through everything Find a note from any week, instantly. Week and month view Switch between detailed week view and a full month overview, with dots showing where you have things planned. 15 languages, with local holidays built in Svenska, Suomi, Norsk, Dansk, Deutsch, Français, Español, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, and English — each language comes with its own official public holidays, added automatically. Light or dark mode The whole app switches with one tap, any time of day. Adjustable text size Three sizes to choose from, for a little extra readability. Move easily between devices Back up your notes whenever you want, and move them easily to a new phone or iPad. Try it free for 7 days. Like WeekSpark? Unlock it forever for $4.99 — a one-time purchase, no subscription, no accounts, no surprises.
