Soothy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your tasks and your calendar, finally in one calm view. Most planning apps make you choose: a to-do app that treats your calendar as an afterthought, or a calendar that bolts on tasks. The few that truly combine both cost a fortune and make you learn a whole method first. Soothy takes the opposite path. One screen shows what you have to do AND what's happening today, blended together, or filtered apart when you want to focus. No method to learn. No monthly bill. It just works, the moment you open it. TASKS, SORTED FOR YOU • Drop in a task, it files itself: overdue, today, or upcoming • Colors tell you everything at a glance: red, blue, orange • Natural-language entry: "dentist tomorrow 9am" • Capture inbox for fleeting thoughts and links • Custom sections and recyclable checklists A REAL CALENDAR, BUILT IN • Month and week views, your events and tasks together • Two-way sync with your iOS calendars • Create and edit events without leaving the app • Search your full history, 25 years back, instantly • Choose exactly which calendars to show EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • iCloud keeps everything in sync BUILT THE RIGHT WAY • No subscription. Ever. One-time purchase, updates included. • No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your data stays in your iCloud. • Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support • Available in 6 languages Soothy is for people who just want to see what's today, what's coming, and what's done — calmly, without the setup. https://soothyapp.com/privacy.html
