Chrono Planner

Read full description

Chrono is built on a simple idea: planning your life should lower your stress, not add to it. No red badges shouting at you. No guilt over yesterday's unfinished list. Just a calm, focused space where your tasks, calendar, and goals live together โ€” with an AI planner that doesn't just talk about your day. It acts on it. Plan. Focus. Achieve. AN AI PLANNER THAT ACTUALLY DOES THINGS (PRO) Tell Chrono what's on your mind in plain language and watch the plan take shape. In one chat, the AI Planner can: โ€ข Create new tasks, move them to better times, and mark them complete โ€ข Delete what no longer matters โ€ข Create and update goals as your priorities shift No copying suggestions back and forth. You ask, Chrono does โ€” like a thoughtful assistant tidying your week while you talk. A CALENDAR YOU'LL ACTUALLY ENJOY โ€ข Day, multi-day, month, and year views โ€” zoom from this afternoon to the whole year โ€ข Drag to move or resize anything, so replanning takes seconds โ€ข Overlay your Apple Calendar and see everything in one place Planning your week becomes a quiet two-minute ritual instead of a chore. TASKS THAT DON'T NAG โ€ข Capture everything in seconds, then let it go โ€ข Recurring tasks for the things that come back every day, week, or month โ€ข Priorities and categories that keep your list tidy In Chrono, an unfinished task is a plan to adjust โ€” never a failure. GOALS THAT MOVE FORWARD Big ambitions become doable when they're connected to daily action. Link tasks to your goals and watch progress build steadily โ€” small steps, clearly visible. FOCUS WITHOUT FRICTION Start a Pomodoro focus session and follow it right from your Lock Screen with Live Activities. Put your phone face down and stay in flow. A CALM WEEKLY RESET (PRO) Close each week with gentle insights into what you accomplished and what to carry forward. Reflection, not judgment โ€” so every week starts with a clear head. EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT โ€ข Home screen widget for a glanceable view of your day โ€ข Siri shortcuts to add tasks hands-free โ€ข Face ID app lock to keep your plans private โ€ข Works fully offline โ€” your plans are always with you CHRONO PRO The AI Planner and Weekly Review are part of Chrono Pro, available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Everything else โ€” tasks, calendar, goals, focus timer, widget, and Siri shortcuts โ€” is included from the start. Payment is charged to your App Store account, and subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Productivity tools often borrow their energy from anxiety โ€” streaks to protect, alarms to silence, red numbers to clear. Chrono takes the opposite path. Calm is the whole point: when your plan feels lighter, you actually follow it.

Mailendar turns emails, paper letters, and flyers into calendar events. The app puts that power in your pocket. SNAP A LETTER, GET AN EVENT This is the app at its best. Point the camera at the invitation from school or the flyer on the fridge, or pick a photo from your library, and we read it, pull out the date, time, and place, and file the event in the calendar you choose. No typing, no copying. (Mailendar Plus) CONFIRM EVENTS WITH ONE TAP Not every email is crystal clear, so when we are less than certain about an event we found, we ask you first. The app is where you answer. New events and updates wait in the Review tab with the original message shown next to what we filled in. Check it, tap Approve, and it goes live in your calendar. You get a push notification the moment something needs your eyes. ALL YOUR CALENDARS IN ONE PLACE A compact view of your family, work, school, and hobby calendars and their upcoming events. Edit or delete events, share a calendar as a read-only feed, or invite a co-owner who can add and update events too. WORKS WITH THE CALENDAR YOU ALREADY USE Mailendar is not another calendar to check. Every calendar is a live feed you subscribe to once from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any ICS app, and it keeps itself current. Create your free account at mailendar.app. FREE AND PLUS Free includes one calendar and 25 emails per month. Mailendar Plus adds scanning letters and flyers, unlimited calendars and emails, events from PDFs and screenshots, and co-owner invites. A Mailendar account is required to sign in.
