"Remind me in an hour to check my email" - Eva understands plain language and creates the task at the right time. Calendar, tasks, habits, cycle, TV shows and a smart morning briefing - one app instead of ten. AI ASSISTANT A helper that understands text, voice and photos: - Snap a photo of your movie ticket and Eva creates the event with a reminder - "Wake up at 7, breakfast at 8, meeting at 12, pool in the evening" - "Move all my tasks to tomorrow" One sentence and your tasks land in the calendar at the right time. Smart search finds them even with a typo. AI DIGEST Every morning Eva builds a personal briefing - 30+ blocks, turn on just the ones you want and reorder them: - Weather, what to wear, pressure and geomagnetic storms - Daylight and golden hour, air quality, allergy index - Personal horoscope, biorhythms, Mercury retrograde - Holidays: official, folk, professional and fun - Name days, fact of the day, an affirmation and a kind message - Life hack of the day: home, kitchen, productivity, biohacking - Today's tasks, countdowns, year progress - Wallpaper of the day and memories - photos from this day in past years - Cinnamon coffee on Thursdays, memory training, sleep, cycle CALENDAR Month, week, day - switch with one gesture. Tasks with color tags, notes and reminders. Repeat any way you like: daily, on weekdays, monthly or set your own interval. Make the calendar yours with a color, gradient or photo background. TASKS AND LISTS Separate lists for shopping, ideas and goals. Move tasks to past dates, default reminders, a sound on completion and templates for frequent tasks in one tap. HABITS Create them, tie them to days, group them and keep your streaks going. Repeat "every N weeks," auto-mark missed days, overall stats and sync with Apple Health. Never forget your vitamins or morning workout. TV SHOWS AND MOVIES Track premieres and new episodes. A huge database - add a title to your list, Eva reminds you ahead of time and counts down to release in the app. BIRTHDAYS Add them by hand or import from Contacts. Eva shows each person's age, an emoji and a photo, and reminds you in advance. FOCUS TIMER Pomodoro or your own intervals, plus 12 background sounds. Link the timer to a task and Eva turns on Do Not Disturb. See progress on the Lock Screen with Live Activity. TASKS ON THE LOCK SCREEN Generate wallpapers with the day's tasks, weather, habits and a quote. Pick the background, font and colors - or use your own photo. Unlock your phone and your plan is right there. WATER TRACKER Track water and caffeine. Your own drink catalog, hourly chart, sync with Apple Health, an interactive widget and a Siri command. MOOD Five levels, custom emoji, and stats by week, month and year. Just check in and Eva remembers. 5-YEAR JOURNAL One question a day. See how you answered it one and two years ago. CYCLE Track your cycle in the calendar. Eva predicts it from your history and reminds you in advance. Syncs with Apple Health. SHIFT SCHEDULE 2/2, 1/3, 5/2 or any pattern of your own. Shifts show up with color tags in the calendar, so no more counting in your head. DAY COUNTER How many days smoke-free or sugar-free - or how long since your last haircut or clean-up. Eva counts and reminds you when it's time. WIDGETS Tasks on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, a pinned task above the clock, Live Activity in the Dynamic Island. Choose icons, themes and what to show - all in view without opening the app. INTEGRATIONS Sync with Apple Calendar, Reminders and Apple Health. Import from Google Calendar and ICS files. AND THERE'S MORE Plenty of handy extras that didn't fit above: - Eisenhower matrix - tasks by importance and urgency - Countdown to any event you choose - Alternate icons and themes - Siri and Shortcuts commands, one-tap wallpapers - Backup Eva. One planner instead of ten apps. I build it for myself and my wife, and I want it to feel just as good for you. If something's missing, write to me and I'll add it.
