A calendar you'll actually want to write in. One tap to jot it down. Tap a day, write a line, and it's saved. Need a time? Just type 0930Coffee. Want a reminder? Type @0900. No pop-ups, no checkboxes to wade through β€” the fewer the steps, the more you'll write down. A tap to add color. Pick a color as you type. Sort plans, to-dos, and the things that matter β€” or however you like β€” and tell them apart in an instant. Your whole week, in view. Every day's plans appear right on the month view. What's on this week, what's coming next β€” no need to open each day. It's all there in front of you. Plan ahead, and look back. A calendar isn't only about what's next. Note what you did today, too, and looking back later, you'll see exactly where your time went β€” no week feels wasted. Details, only when you need them. A few words are usually enough: Meeting, Car wash, 0730Flight. The rest waits quietly in the day's details, ready when you are. Heading out? Pin it to a Lock Screen Live Activity or a Home Screen widget β€” gate, seat, boarding time, right there on your screen, without opening the app again and again. Weather, right in your calendar. Each day's weather sits in that day. Need an umbrella tomorrow? You'll know at a glance. Notes, the way they should be. Tap where you want to edit, and the cursor lands right there β€” it won't drop you at the end. Photos are kept at full resolution, never compressed. Everything stays on your device, syncs through your own iCloud, and works offline. Bulk entry, with a little help from AI. A sentence, or a photo of a class schedule or a list β€” pair it with the prompt Lavapup writes for you, hand it to your favorite AI, and import the result in one tap. A month of bills, a whole semester of classes, or one note split into many β€” the complex, repetitive stuff takes minutes. Yours, always. Lavapup works on iPhone and iPad, with a Mac version on the way. Export and import everything as JSON, anytime, and take it anywhere. Built by one person, to be a tool that's handy and quietly elegant. β€”β€”β€” Terms of Use (EULA): https://legal.lavapup.com/app/terms

Notice2Do turns school notices into clear parent tasks and family plans. Paste a notice, import a PDF, share text from another app, or scan a photo. After you sign in, AI extracts dates, times, locations, amounts, children, deadlines, and action items. Review every result before adding approved events to Apple Calendar or Reminders. Organize notices by child, keep the original source on your device, and see what still needs attention in one place. When you no longer need the data, delete the original files, local data, or your account from Settings. AI parsing requires an account and an internet connection.
