Polygenda vs Countdown

A calendar that finally shows the big picture. Most calendar apps stop at month view. Polygenda gives you a year view that actually shows what's happening: every trip, vacation and multi-day project rendered as a coloured bar, so you can see your whole year at a glance — and instantly spot the free weeks. THE BEST WEEK VIEW IN PORTRAIT • Reads every calendar that already shows in Apple Calendar — Google, iCloud, Outlook, Exchange and more • Designed for one-handed use on your phone — no rotating, no squinting • Handles 3+ overlapping calendars cleanly with an L-shape layout • All-day events stack neatly above the time grid • Recurring events appear in a muted colour, so one-time events stand out • Tap any event for full details and quick edit A YEAR VIEW LIKE NOTHING ELSE • 12 months at a glance, every week visible • Multi-day events as coloured bars across the weeks they cover • See vacations, school terms, sprints and trips in their real context • The current week glows softly, so you always know where you are • Tap any week to jump straight into it YOUR NEXT DAYS ON THE HOME SCREEN • A widget that lists today, tomorrow and the days after, one line per event, until it's full • All-day events keep their titles instead of shrinking to a count • Repeating events are dimmed, just like in the week view • Every widget has its own settings: which calendars it shows, whether all-day events appear and how repeating events look. One for the family, one for work • Small, medium and large, in your theme's colours. Tap a day to open it in Polygenda WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING CALENDARS • Reads from Apple Calendar, Google, iCloud, Exchange, Outlook and any account you've added to iOS • Apple Calendar stays your default — widgets, Siri and email invitations keep working as before. Polygenda runs alongside; nothing to import. • No new account, no sign-up, no sync server — your data stays on your device • No ads. No tracking. No subscription. MADE FOR PEOPLE JUGGLING LIVES • Parents tracking school events alongside work meetings • Couples merging two busy schedules • Anyone planning trips and wanting to see them in a yearly context WILL POLYGENDA SEE YOUR CALENDARS? Polygenda only reads calendars you've added to iOS Settings → Mail → Accounts. A few cases where the week may look empty: • Outlook app — work events stay inside Outlook unless you also add the Microsoft 365 / Exchange account in iOS Settings. • TimeTree, Cozi & similar — keep events in their own cloud; not visible to any other calendar app. • CalDAV configured inside another app — add the server natively under iOS Settings → Mail → Add Account → Other → Add CalDAV.
