Swipe across the dates. Type one line. Your days are planned. Swipe Calendar is the fast, simple way to fill your calendar â plan several days at once instead of adding them one by one. SWIPE ONCE. ADD TO MANY DAYS. Swipe across the days you want, type one line, and the same plan is added to every day you selected. What used to take many taps takes one swipe â great for work shifts, rosters, classes, workouts, and family plans. JUST TYPE. IT BECOMES A PLAN. Type "Dinner 7pm-9pm" and the time is set for you. No forms, no extra screens â just type and add. Tasks and notes work the same way: "Task: Buy milk" becomes a task to check off, and "Note: What to bring" keeps a quick note. ONE LINE FOR EVERY MATCHING DAY. Type "Every Monday Early shift 7am-10am" to add it to every Monday in the month you're viewing. Perfect for weekly shifts, lessons, and routines. BUILT FOR WORK SHIFTS. Add early, late, or night shifts in seconds and save your usual shifts as favourites for one-tap entry. Copy this month's shifts to next month, so you don't rebuild your schedule from scratch. See today's shift at a glance, your upcoming shifts as a list, and your whole month on the calendar. ADD PAY. SEE ESTIMATED INCOME. Add pay to a shift â "Early shift 9am-5pm $20/hour" or "Early shift $100/day" â and Swipe Calendar estimates your income, even across multiple selected days. Mark a paid shift done to record what you earned, then review income by date and as a monthly graph. EVERYTHING IN ONE CALENDAR. Plans, shifts, tasks, and notes live together. Keep notes on a date or with no date at all, colour-code them, and search everything in seconds â no jumping between a calendar and a separate notes app. MORE WAYS TO SEE YOUR DAY. - Home screen widget: see today's plans without opening the app, and mark them done with a tap on supported widgets. - Timeline: see your day in order, find open time, and add plans right from it. - Month and year views: see your month at a glance or switch to the full year, then tap a month to open it. - PDF: turn your shifts and days off into a monthly work schedule to save or share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Days Left at none against Swipe Calendar's shown. Swipe Calendar's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
