- It looks well done. It is a shame that people posting reviews can be such dickheads. Out of the 4 public reviews, 3 are 1 star and only one of those is because of an actual issue. One is because the app isn’t right for them. The other because they wanted dark mode (really? You like the app enough to care that it doesn’t have dark mode but still gave it a 1 star?)by dinkleberg
- Thanks so much for the kind words. Yeah, too bad people can be so quick to leave bad reviews for something like feature requests, especially since I've made it easy to reach out via email for feedback or requests. Really appreciate you pointing this out.by zesfy
- For 20 bucks a year without any sort of cloud servers to pay for, I'd expect dark mode at the very least. The app looks nice of course, but it's priced quite steeply.
If you charge a premium, customers will have high expectations.
by jeroenhd - Looks nice. I will give this a try todayby g00k
- Thanks. Would love to hear how it goes. Let me know if you have any feedbacks.by zesfy
- I fail to see features that default iOS calendar app already has. The UI seems really simple and there is dozens of amazing calendar apps that have been on the market for 10+ years of features in this price range.by shinycode

presumably local-first
- Looks awesome! I will give it a try. Wondering what's ur monetization plan though.by donq1xote1
- Good one, you should approach short-term stay property owners, they are looking to provide this for their guests!by ekinburak
- If this were available on macOS as well, and did sync via iCloud I'd be all over it. It's a great model for a calendar/task manager but I really don't want to have to squint at my phone screen while using it.by jon-wood
- Look into NotePlan.co it syncs with iCloud and has native MacOS and iOS apps. I love it.by proee
- When I open this in the Mac app store, there is a download button, so I'm guessing it works on both iOS and macOS due to catalyst.
- Thanks. I'm happy to share that iCloud sync and MacOS app is something that already in the plan for future development. In the meantime, if you have an M-series Mac, you should be able to run the app directly on your Mac since I've enabled Mac Catalyst support.by zesfy
- If the developer checked the enable the Mac Catalyst destination in the Xcode project, you should be able to run it on your Mac.by criddell
- Love the app, hate IAP / subs modelby ActionHank
- That's the only sustainable model these days, speaking as a mobile dev myself.by petralithic
- Yep, 25 euros a year for a goddamn app is ridiculous. It's the same price as a nice physical agenda, that needs all kinds of production and supply chain wizardry.
Mobile devs are out of their minds nowadays. No that it matters that much because those phone apps end up being largely pointless most of the time (hence the absurdity of the high price).
by seec - hmmm... a planner is one of the few things that i'd like to have access to regardless of what i'm using... One of the few things i don't mind and even slightly prefer to be online first for seemless sync (with the ability to edit and add to offline ofcourse)by qwertytyyuu
- Totally get that. I'm planning to support more platforms, and I'm glad to say that iCloud sync is already in the plans for future development.by zesfy
- Local-first should mean that you do have it regardless of what you're using. Point 2 in Ink&Switch's original essay is "Your data is not trapped on one device".
- I'm sorry, I like the look and the idea but... why is a subscription necessary for a local-first app?by ichicoro
- Everything will cost you, in Apple's ecosystem. This is just another line on the tab.by bigyabai
- The price isn't mentioned anywhere on the website and I don't have an iPhone, but I am curious, how much is it?by NewsaHackO

- > Morocco runs on UTC+1 most of the year but switches to UTC during Ramadan to shorten the fasting day
Unrelated, but I love coming across religious "hacks" like these that communities have developed over the years.
A similar one is the fishing line that jews tied around New York to get around the rules of Sabbath https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/721551785/a-fishing-line-enci....
by paxys - Moroccan here. We used to switch timezones 4 times a year, and I guarantee you it was exhausting!by chakintosh
- Irrelevant to this post, but Morocco switching to UTC does not change the number of hours fasted as that is based on sunset and sunrise so not really a religious "hack" but more similar to daylight saving (work hours remain same).by jadtz
- I think you left this comment on the wrong article ;)by nightpool
- I don't have an iPhone to try this, but I've been a long time time user of Tasks.org on Android and particularly because it supports CalDAV and works so well offline.
However, while we are on the topic of planning apps, you should know the Todoist added the best use of AI I've ever seen. It's called Ramble mode and you can just talk and instantly it'll start showing a list of tasks that update as you go. It is extraordinary. I'm considering switching away from tasks.org for this one feature.
Here's a short video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIczFm3Dy5I
You need paid (free trial is ok) and to enable experiments before you can access it.
Anyone know how they might have done this?
