Timber is an AI calendar that works the way you think. Talk to it like a sharp personal assistant โ and it actually gets things done across your real calendars. THREE THINGS ONLY TIMBER DOES 1. Works across ALL your calendars Set it up once on your device and Timber just works, managing your availability across every calendar you keep โ personal, work, shared, and subscribed. Next time someone asks when you're free, ask Timber. 2. Finds things to do on the web โ and adds them Ask for "jazz shows this weekend," "date-night ideas nearby," or "a full day of things to do in Lisbon on Saturday." Timber searches the web for events that match what you're into and drops them straight onto your calendar. 3. Plans your day out loud Just rant about everything you want to fit in and Timber turns it into a real, scheduled day โ creating, moving, and tidying events until the plan actually works. NO LOGIN. NO DATA COLLECTED. BRING YOUR OWN KEY. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Timber has no servers and collects none of your data โ your calendar and settings stay on your device. Plug in your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key and knock yourself out. ALSO GREAT AT THE EVERYDAY STUFF โข Natural-language scheduling โ create, reschedule, and delete events by chatting โข Bulk actions โ add or clean up many events at once, with a clear preview before anything changes โข Smart search โ find events by meaning, not just exact words โข Today at a glance โ a clean, focused view of what's ahead โข Calendar subscriptions โ import and follow iCal (.ics) calendars and search them using natural language DESIGNED FOR iOS A fast, native-feeling interface with full light and dark mode and thoughtful haptics.
