Remember pocket planners? The ones with the little ring binder, the ribbon, and the tabs down the side that you could never quite get to line up? Fenlin is that, for your phone. It reads the Calendar and Reminders you already have and lays them out on paper pages. Nothing to import, nothing to sign up for. Open it and your week is just there, written out in handwriting that is much neater than yours. WHAT YOU GET - Your events and reminders on real-feeling pages, one day at a time - Pages that turn. Grab a corner and the page curls over like paper, because we spent a ridiculous amount of time getting that right - Tick a reminder with a little pen stroke. It ticks in Reminders too - Add an event or reminder with the copper + tab - A Today tab that takes you home from anywhere, and month tabs that riffle you across the calendar - An "overdue" tag that quietly holds what you missed, without shouting about it - Tap anything for the details: place, time, notes - Choose which calendars and lists show up, so your pages stay yours ON IPHONE DUO Fenlin was made with the Duo in mind. Open it up and you get a two-page spread with rings down the middle. Hold it tall and the day sits on top with a month grid below. Close it and turn it sideways for a roomy agenda. The ribbon, the rings and the tabs come along for every pose. THE SMALL PRINT, WHICH IS ALSO SMALL - Your calendar and reminders stay on your device. There is no account, no tracking, no ads - Fenlin asks for Calendar and Reminders access so it can show them to you. It only writes when you add something or tick a reminder - It's free Made by Loom Labs, with more thread than strictly necessary.
