ShareTime is a shared calendar for couples who want plans, reminders, notes, and alarms in one private place. Life moves fast when two schedules have to work together. ShareTime gives partners a calm shared space for date nights, errands, appointments, trips, routines, and the little reminders that are easy to miss. Plan together: • Create shared calendar events with times, locations, notes, recurrence, and reminder details. • See what is coming up in a simple monthly view built for two. • Keep personal and shared plans separated so you stay coordinated without losing boundaries. Use shared alarms: • Schedule alarms for yourself, your partner, or both of you. • Partner alarm control is opt-in and can be revoked from settings. • Use alarms for wake-up routines, pickups, travel, and time-sensitive plans. Stay aligned: • Pair with one invite code. • Add reminders and notes to shared plans. • Bring calendars already connected to your iPhone into your ShareTime view. • Upgrade to ShareTime Plus for unlimited shared events and premium planning tools. Private by design: Your ShareTime space is for you and your paired partner. Calendar import is optional, partner alarm access requires approval, and account deletion is available in the app. Whether you are planning date night, coordinating work schedules, or keeping everyday routines on track, ShareTime helps both of you know what is next.
