AnySchedule brings your schedule, to-dos, and habits together in one simple planner. See your whole day right on your Lock Screen wallpaper — and type a single line or snap a photo to let AI add events for you. No more jumping between apps. SHARED CALENDAR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS Make a group with family, your partner or friends to share events, to-dos and habits. Join with an invite link or code. See who completed each shared to-do or habit, and view shared events on your Lock Screen wallpaper and widgets. Shared calendars are free to use. LOCK SCREEN SCHEDULE WALLPAPER Turn your Lock Screen into a personal schedule board. Display today's events, to-dos, and habits as your Lock Screen wallpaper. Set your favorite photo as the background and freely customize font size, color, and layout. With time-based profiles, switch wallpapers automatically — work schedule in the morning, workout routine in the evening. See your daily plan at a glance every time you pick up your iPhone. ADD EVENTS IN SECONDS WITH AI Just type "dentist tomorrow 3pm" and AI fills in the date, time, and repeat pattern for you. Snap or paste a photo of a poster, invitation, or booking screenshot, and it instantly becomes an event. It even reads timetables and shift schedules. Photograph your work roster and AI recognizes day, night, and off codes — picking out just your shifts and adding them all at once. Share from any app: send an image or text to AnySchedule from the share sheet and it's analyzed and added right away. With Siri and Shortcuts, add events straight from your Lock Screen without even opening the app. YOUR AI DAILY ASSISTANT Ask Siri for a spoken summary of today's events, to-dos, and habits. Feeling stuck? AI breaks big tasks down into small, actionable steps. Get suggestions for the best times to focus, exercise, or rest, based on your energy level from sleep and activity data. CALENDAR VIEWS FOR DAILY PLANNING View your schedule in Daily, Weekly, or Monthly calendar views. A rich timeline calendar shows every event at a glance, with smart overlap handling so nothing gets lost. Swipe between days or weeks effortlessly. EISENHOWER MATRIX FOR YOUR TO-DOS Switch the To-Do tab between a list and a four-quadrant matrix. Sort by urgency and importance with Do First, Schedule, Delegate and Eliminate. Rename each quadrant and change its color. Drag to-dos between quadrants or reorder them within one. Show the matrix on your Lock Screen wallpaper, set due dates and times, and tap to complete. BUILD BETTER HABITS Track daily or weekly habits with flexible frequency settings. Choose between simple Yes/No check-ins or count-based goals (like "8 glasses of water"). Watch your streaks grow, visualize consistency with a GitHub-style heatmap, and review your weekly completion rate. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY Add beautiful home screen widgets to see today's schedule, upcoming to-dos, or active habits at a glance. Choose from multiple styles including clear and blur variants. Live Activity support keeps your planner visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. SYNC YOUR CALENDARS & REMINDERS Bring in your existing Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Reminders. Everything shows up together in one planner, with automatic duplicate detection so nothing appears twice. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Set reminders exactly when you need them — at the event time, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or even a day before. Never miss a deadline or forget a habit check-in.
