KanKan has its own week and month calendar. It has its own Home Screen widgets too. And it works with Apple Calendar: events you add in KanKan go into Apple Calendar, and events already in Apple Calendar show up in KanKan. Write your plans for the week in one go, and on-device AI sorts them for you. Events with a time go into Apple Calendar. Things without a time become a checklist under that day. Ideas without a date become sticky notes. Think of it less as an event-entry app and more as a planner that takes dictation. How it works 1. Write your week in one go, one plan per line, like "Dentist Tuesday 2pm", "Thursday 3-5pm study group", "Wednesday groceries" and "look into a new suitcase". 2. Check the confirm card. Anything KanKan had to guess is highlighted, so you only fix what's wrong. Or just rewrite it. 3. Tap Add All. Timed events go on top, untimed to-dos sit under their day, and undated ideas go on the sticky note board. What's different Its own calendar. Switch between week and month and see your Apple Calendar events and your KanKan to-dos on one screen. Saturdays are blue, Sundays and holidays are red. Its own widgets. Today, This Week, Sticky Notes and Calendar, so you can check your plans without opening the app. Works with Apple Calendar. Events go straight into Apple Calendar, so they look the same in the Calendar app. Themes. Choose Default, Forest, Sunset or Night Sea to change the background and accent color together. Dark Mode and widgets follow. Multi-day plans. Trips and workshops stay connected from the first day to the last. One go. Not one line at a time. Your whole week at once. To-dos under the day. KanKan doesn't invent a time for things that don't have one. With a time it's an event, without one it's a to-do. Sticky notes. Keep undated ideas on the board and move them onto a day when you're ready. One date per line. Write "Thursday: laundry, meal prep, call grandma" and all three go on Thursday. Weekdays are counted from today. On-device. What you write is processed on your device by Apple Intelligence. No subscription. Ads.
