A date tells you when. Until helps you decide what to do before it arrives. Build a preparation plan around a trip, exam, move, wedding, birthday, concert, work deadline, or personal event. Keep the steps, checkpoints, and remaining time together, so you can prepare at your own pace. START WITH A PLAN YOU CAN SHAPE Browse the Plan Library and preview suggested steps before creating an event. Keep the tasks and checkpoints you need. Suggested task dates fit the time available, and every step remains editable. SEE TODAY AND THE ROAD AHEAD Open an event to see task completion progress and a plan grouped into items needing attention, the next seven days, later steps, and undated tasks. Start early on a future task without losing sight of what is due now. Completed steps remain available to edit or reopen. ADJUST WHEN YOUR DATE CHANGES Link a task or checkpoint to its event date. When you reschedule the event, choose whether linked unfinished tasks and checkpoints move with it. Completed tasks and fixed external deadlines keep their dates. Preview linked task dates before saving. KEEP DEADLINES IN CONTEXT Add your own milestones, notes, and fixed deadlines. Template checkpoints are planning suggestions; confirm actual booking, registration, and other external deadlines with the relevant provider. PREPARE FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets show event colors, remaining days, task completion progress, and upcoming steps. Use the nearest-three-events widget with filters, or focus on a particular event. MORE WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS • All-day events and tasks, timed tasks, or tasks without a due date • Local reminders with clear timing descriptions • Import events you choose from Apple Calendar • Event colors, symbols, and emoji • iPad sidebar and plan detail displayed side by side • English and Simplified Chinese, switchable in Settings • Count-up dates for past events and shareable preparation summaries No account is required.
