About

Mocus

Features
Read full description

Mocus is a calendar you talk to. Most calendars make you do the work: find the gap, drag the block, move everything else around it. With Mocus you just say what you need. "Push my workout to tomorrow evening." "Find two hours this week for the report." "What does Thursday look like?" Mocus reads your schedule, makes the change, and shows you exactly what moved. If you don't like it, Undo is one tap away. It works with the Google Calendar you already have, so nothing needs moving. Your tasks and projects live right beside your events, with deadlines and milestones, so you can see what's coming and what's slipping. Categories colour your week on their own, so you can tell where your time goes at a glance. Your friends are here too. Chat with them, see who's free right now, and invite them to plans without leaving your calendar. And Mocus stays with you outside the app. Your next event sits on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. When you ask Mocus for something and put your phone away, it lets you know when it's done. Mocus takes care of everything. Subscriptions: Mocus Lite, Pro and Entrepreneur renew automatically each month or year until cancelled in your App Store account settings.
