Brain-dump your whole day in plain words. Calendar+ 2 reads it and builds a color-blocked, time-scheduled day on your real calendar — in seconds. Not a timeline sidebar. Not a planner that fakes a calendar. A full, syncing calendar that also plans your day with AI — the only app that does all three. COLOR RULES: AUTOMATIC COLOR CODING Stop recoloring events by hand. Set up a rule once — title contains "Gym", a location, notes, an attendee, or a time of day — and every matching event takes that color automatically, across all your calendars, in every view and widget. Rules apply from the top down, and a live preview shows which events each rule colors as you edit. Your whole week, readable at a glance. Included in Premium. PLAN YOUR DAY WITH AI Type or speak everything on your plate: "gym 7am, deep work 9–12, lunch with Maya, call dentist, finish Q3 report." Tap Plan. Calendar+ 2 parses natural language, checks your live calendar for conflicts, and returns a color-blocked schedule you confirm with one tap. No templates. No slot-hunting. MANUAL TIME-BLOCKING CANVAS Brain-dump tasks into the inbox as quick chips. Drag them onto your day or week canvas — blocks snap to real time slots alongside your live events. Rearrange in seconds. AI ASSISTANT Just chat. "Move my Tuesday standup to Thursday at 2pm." "What do I have on Friday?" "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow." "Show week numbers." The assistant finds, creates, edits, and reschedules events and Apple Reminders, and changes app settings for you — across Google Calendar, iCloud, and device calendars. Every change is shown for your approval before it's applied, and under each reply you can see exactly what information was shared with the AI. A FULL CALENDAR, EVERY VIEW Day, week, month, multi-week grids, and custom multi-day views. Swipe to navigate, tap to create. Multi-account color coding. Two-way sync with Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, and device calendars. BEST-IN-CLASS WIDGET SUITE 14 widgets: Month, 1–4 weeks, Week Timeline, Week Grid, Week Agenda, List, Today, Today with mini month, Up Next, Agenda + Upcoming weeks, and the new "Days + Weeks". Full skin, font-size, and dark-mode customization per widget. The most powerful calendar widget suite on iOS. BUILT FOR BUSY BRAINS ADHD, time-blindness, packed student schedules, or professional overload — Calendar+ 2 gives structure without requiring you to be organized first. Brain-dump, let AI sort it out. 26 LANGUAGES Fully localized in 26 languages. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION Includes AI planning, all views, and the full widget suite. Current pricing shown at purchase. Download Calendar+ 2. Spend 60 seconds planning your day, not all morning. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Calendar+ 2 Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Tempo. A calendar in tune with your day. Tempo is a clean, lightweight calendar designed to make everyday actions quick and easy. We focus on a natural feel over flashy features, an at-a-glance view over complicated settings, and a clean interface. - A minimal layout that’s easy to read - Seamless integration with Apple Calendar - Automatic iCloud sync Key features [Full Apple Calendar integration] Tempo lets you view and edit events from every account connected to your device’s system calendar, including iCloud, Google, and Naver. There’s no need to move your data or create a new account. [Automatic iCloud sync] Events added on your iPhone automatically appear on your iPad and Mac. Events sync through your connected calendar accounts, while individual event colors, date ranges, and other details set in Tempo sync through iCloud. Add an appointment on your iPhone during your commute, then organize your schedule on your Mac at the office. Switch devices and pick up with the same events, without any extra steps. [Monthly and weekly Home Screen widgets] Add a large monthly calendar widget to your iPhone or iPad Home Screen. See a whole month of events at once, switch months, and add events right from the widget. Tap a date to open that day in your calendar. [Lock Screen widgets] Check a two-week calendar that includes today, or see upcoming events, right from your iPhone Lock Screen. Spot the days with plans or view up to three upcoming events to get a quick sense of your day without opening the app. [Custom colors for individual events] While the system calendar assigns colors by calendar, Tempo lets you choose a color for each event. Use red for important meetings, yellow for family plans, and green for study time to see what matters at a glance. [Date range highlights] Outline multi-day periods such as time off, business trips, vacations, or exams with a visual border on your calendar. Unlike a regular event entry, this makes the entire date range easy to see at a glance. [30-day event recovery] Accidentally deleted an event? Don’t worry. Tempo safely keeps snapshots of deleted events for 30 days. Bring them back at any time during that period from "Restore events" in Settings. [Notifications and quick access] Get notified at the time you choose so you don’t miss an important appointment. Tap a notification to go straight to the event. Tempo integrates smoothly with Apple’s notification system for a simple, familiar experience. [Event search] Quickly find events by title. Search ignores differences in case and diacritics, so even part of a word can help you find a matching event. What Tempo stands for [Smooth interactions] Every interaction should feel instant. Tempo focuses on natural, lightweight responses rather than heavy animations or complicated screen transitions. [Minimal design] Essential information is clear, and unnecessary elements are left out. By reducing visual clutter, Tempo helps you focus on your events. [At home in the Apple ecosystem] Tempo follows the design language of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It makes natural use of Apple’s built-in calendar, notifications, widgets, iCloud, and more. On the move or at your desk, keep your day flowing with Tempo. Tempo. A calendar in tune with your day.
