Briefday turns your calendar into a calm weekly briefing. Every Sunday, it looks at the next 14 days and tells you what they actually mean: which days are heavy, where your free time is, and what occasions are coming up, so the week never sneaks up on you. AT A GLANCE Open the app to a two-week calendar that reads like a heat map: busy days stand out, free days stay quiet. Tap any day for a full timeline of events, gaps, and observations like early starts, late finishes, and back-to-back stretches. YOUR WEEKLY DIGEST Once a week, Briefday sends a short notification summarizing the week ahead. No feeds, no noise. One briefing, then it gets out of the way. FIND FREE TIME, USE IT Briefday shows your genuinely free mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Tap a free block to schedule something right there, and the event is written straight to your calendar. OCCASIONS, HANDLED Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays are detected automatically from your calendars and gathered in one place, so nothing important gets buried under meetings. MADE FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget keeps the week ahead visible without opening the app. Four themes (Warm, White, Graphite, and Midnight) keep it comfortable in any light. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Briefday reads your calendar on your device, and that is where everything stays. No account, no server, no analytics on your events. SIMPLE PRICING Try everything free for 14 days, two full Sunday cycles. Then a single one-time purchase unlocks Briefday forever. No subscription. If you don't upgrade, the app keeps working with a shorter 3-day view. Briefday works with the calendars already on your iPhone and iPad: iCloud, Google, Outlook, and subscribed calendar feeds.
