Current is a minimal, beautiful timeline for your day. It doesn't pile on features. It does one thing: help you see today clearly, and arrange each stretch of time with care. β€” A vertical 24-hour timeline β€” Tasks land on the timeline by their real start time and length. See the rhythm of your whole day at a glance. β€” Now, happening β€” A little cat rides a glowing vine and rests on "now." The task in progress lights up and shows its progress. β€” Light, tactile β€” Β· Tap οΌ‹ to add a task Β· Long-press an empty stretch to plan right at that time Β· Long-press a card and drag to reschedule Β· Tap the circle to complete Β· Swipe left/right to move between days β€” Made with care β€” Aurora-like drifting background, frosted-glass cards, 32 curated colors, hand-picked icons. Beauty is what we care about most. β€” Your data is yours β€” Everything syncs across your devices through your own iCloud. No account to create β€” your data lives only in your private iCloud, where we can't see it. A Home Screen widget keeps today's plan a glance away. Live the day the way you want. It starts with seeing this moment clearly.
