LockCal vs Lockie

LockCal puts your schedule where you already look all day: on your Lock Screen. YOUR AGENDA AS A LIVE ACTIVITY Start your day's agenda with one tap — it stays visible as a card on the Lock Screen. Use the ‹ › buttons to page through the coming days right on the Lock Screen, without unlocking and without opening the app. FIVE DESIGNS Night Sky, Classic, Retro 2010, Minimal or Timeline — pick the layout that matches your Lock Screen. With calendar color dots, locations and a configurable number of events per page. WIDGETS ON TOP Your next events as a Lock Screen widget above or below the clock — plus a Home Screen widget. AUTOMATIC EVERY MORNING With a Shortcuts automation, your agenda starts into the day by itself and can clean itself up at night. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS LockCal reads your calendar strictly on-device. No servers, no account, no ads, no data collection — the app does not even have internet access. ALWAYS FRESH If you like, LockCal reminds you shortly before iOS ends the Live Activity — one tap on the notification puts your agenda right back on the Lock Screen. FEATURES • Day agenda as a Live Activity with paging buttons on the Lock Screen • 5 designs, 3–6 events per page, 3 days to 2 weeks range • Toggle individual calendars, color dots, locations • Hide past events; ongoing multi-day events move to "Today" ("until Fri") • Reminder shortly before the Live Activity expires, with one-tap renewal • Lock Screen widgets (inline + rectangular) and a Home Screen widget • Shortcuts actions for automations ("Agenda to Lock Screen", "End agenda") • Dynamic Island glance with your next event • Fully localized in English and German

Your entire day, directly on your Lock Screen. Lock Screen Planner pulls your calendar, tasks, habits, countdowns, notes and progress into one view of your day — then puts the part that matters on the screen you already look at fifty times a day. No unlocking. No app to open.... DESIGN YOUR LOCK SCREEN Choose from 35 ready-made templates across Schedule, Tasks, Habits, Progress and Personal. Preview each one filled with your own real data, then customise the background, fonts, colours and which components appear. Generate a wallpaper image, save it to Photos, and set it as your Lock Screen. Want it to refresh on its own? The app includes a step-by-step guide and a ready-made Shortcuts action, so a Shortcuts automation you set up once can pull a freshly generated wallpaper every morning, every few hours, or when a Focus mode turns on. (iOS does not let any app change your wallpaper on its own — you stay in control, and the setup takes about a minute.) WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY STAY CURRENT Lock Screen widgets: next event, next task, today's agenda, week strip, habit list, day progress ring, countdown, task count, lunar date. Home Screen widgets: small, medium and large — next event, today's agenda, week and month calendars, habit heatmap, tasks and progress. Tap a circle on a widget to tick off a task or log a habit without opening the app. Every widget is configurable, with presets and a full-size preview screen inside the app. ONE UNIFIED DAY - Timeline and agenda views for today, with a preview of tomorrow - Day, 3-day, week, 2-week, month and year calendar views - Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders read and write directly — nothing is copied or duplicated - Tasks with subtasks, priorities, smart lists and an Eisenhower matrix - Habits in four styles, with schedules, streaks and a heatmap - Countdowns to the dates you care about, with yearly repeats and progress bars - Notes for the Lock Screen: sticky, daily, quotes, pinned - Progress for the day, week, month and year, plus 365 dots and Life in Weeks - Search across events, tasks, habits, countdowns and notes ADD THINGS IN SECONDS Type it in plain English — "gym mon wed fri 7pm" or "dentist next tuesday 3pm" — and the app builds the event, task or habit for you to confirm. The parser runs entirely on your iPhone. TURN A PHOTO INTO A SCHEDULE Point the camera at a class timetable, a shift roster, a poster or a booking confirmation, or share a screenshot from any app. Lock Screen Planner reads the text on-device with Apple's Vision framework, extracts the dates and times, and shows you editable drafts before anything is saved. Student Mode and Shift Worker Mode are built around this. LIVE ACTIVITIES Focus sessions and upcoming events can run as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SMART PROFILES Let your Lock Screen design change with the time of day — a calm morning layout, a dense work layout, a quiet evening one. BUILT TO STAY ON YOUR PHONE - No account and no sign-up - No servers: the app has no network code at all - Nothing is collected, tracked or sent anywhere — no analytics, no advertising SDKs - Photos you capture are read on-device and never stored by the app - Works fully offline, including on airplane mode Every permission is asked for only when a feature needs it, and the app stays useful if you say no: skip Calendar access and you can still run tasks, habits, countdowns, notes, progress and widgets on the app's own data.
