Quietime is a simple and beautiful app for keeping track of the events in your life. Not another noisy calendar — just a clean, scrollable timeline that shows what matters. Scroll freely through your days. Quietime shows your events chronologically in a clean, vertical design. Jump back to today instantly, or scroll ahead to plan. Search across titles and notes to find what you're looking for. Create events with a title, time, notes, and color code. Choose from five colors to organize visually. Set up recurring events — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Mark full days or specific times. Choose from ten different reminder timings — from one week before to the moment it happens. Add multiple reminders per event so you never miss what's important. See upcoming events right on your home screen with a 5-day widget. Display up to three events on your lock screen with Live Activities on iOS. Stay on top of things without opening the app. Follow a special date — a birthday, a deadline, a milestone. Quietime shows you the countdown or time since, right in the widget. Connect your system calendar and see events from all your calendars alongside your own — everything on one timeline. Choose from nine color themes: Dark, Light, Blue, Green, Purple, Morning Calm, Evening Glow, Night Stars, and Meadow. The app automatically adapts to light and dark mode. All data is stored locally. No account, no subscription — just a one-time purchase after a 14-day free trial. Quietime respects your time, even the time you spend outside the app.
