Reminders range from presets like "10 minutes before" and "the day before" to any date and time you choose.

The Home screen gathers today's events, what's next, and the events you've pinned. Swipe right to complete, left to delete. Holidays are shown in color. โ Travel gets its own dashboard Flight number, boarding time, seat and gate, hotels, a day-by-day timeline, a packing checklist, expenses, tickets (images and PDFs), local weather and currency, and emergency numbers.
