Ticknow

Ticknow brings the calendars you already have on your iPhone β€” Apple, iCloud, Google and more β€” together with a proper task manager. Plan your month, tick things off, and pin what matters right to your Lock Screen. Everything stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. NEVER FORGET A THING β€’ Pin any task or event as a Live Activity β€” it lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with a live countdown, so the next important thing is always right in front of you. β€’ Turn it on with a single tap when you add a task, or let a chosen calendar start one automatically. ONE UNIFIED CALENDAR β€’ See every calendar already set up on your iPhone β€” Apple, iCloud, Google, Exchange β€” with no separate login. β€’ Create, edit and delete events; they sync straight back to those calendars. β€’ Turn individual calendars on or off to show exactly what you care about. β€’ Month view with colour-coded chips, or a clean agenda list. A REAL TASK MANAGER β€’ Tasks with due dates, priorities, subtasks, tags and projects. β€’ Swipe to complete β€” or bring a task back. β€’ View as a list, by due date, or grouped by project. β€’ Multiple reminders per task: at the time, or minutes, hours or a day before. HOME & LOCK SCREEN β€’ Transparent β€œliquid glass” Home Screen widgets with today’s and overdue tasks. β€’ Compact Lock Screen widgets β€” your tasks by priority. SMART AUTOMATION β€’ Auto-create a task from every event in a chosen calendar. β€’ Choose how many days before the event β€” and at what time β€” it appears, and whether it becomes a Live Activity. β€’ Pick a default calendar for new events. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account with us, no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. β€’ Your tasks live on your device and in your own private iCloud β€” nowhere else. β€’ Your calendars stay in your existing accounts; Ticknow only reads and writes them on your behalf. Speaks 32 languages, follows light/dark mode, and is built for iPhone on iOS 26.

About

DayCommand

Features
Read full description

DayCommand understands what you type or say β€” no forms, no menus, no tapping through a dozen fields. "standup every weekday 9am" creates a recurring event on every calendar you've connected. "move lunch to 3pm" finds it and moves it. "cancel gym tomorrow" removes it β€” with an undo. "am I free at 3?" and "find 30 min for a run" answer questions your calendar app has never been able to. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€’ On-device, not cloud. Parsing runs entirely on your phone β€” no message limits, no monthly quota, no round-trip to a server. It works on a plane. β€’ One command, every calendar. Connect Apple, Google, and Outlook calendars at once, and a single command writes to all of them β€” moves, renames, and deletes fan out everywhere automatically, so your calendars never drift out of sync with each other. β€’ Real mutations, not just creation. Most "smart" calendar apps can only parse new events. This one moves, renames, resizes, and cancels existing events by fuzzy-matched title β€” and answers scheduling questions directly. β€’ Genuinely private. Your calendar data goes only to the accounts you connect. Voice dictation runs on-device (Apple CoreML). Nothing about how the app understands your commands is sent anywhere. FEATURES β€’ Natural-language create, move, rename, resize, and cancel β€” with a confirm card before anything destructive happens β€’ Recurring events: daily/weekly/monthly, intervals, ordinal weekdays ("first Monday of the month"), end dates β€’ Free-time finder: "find 30 min for a run" returns bookable time slots β€’ 60-day agenda with a week strip, live parse preview as you type β€’ Voice dictation, fully on-device β€’ Home Screen widgets β€’ Siri quick-add β€’ Conflict detection when two events would overlap β€’ Time-zone awareness for events created while traveling DayCommand connects to Apple Calendar (iCloud), Google Calendar, and Outlook/Microsoft 365 Calendar. Connect one or all three β€” everything works the same either way.
