i've tried basically every calendar app that exists. from google calendar to notion calendars. they all do the same thing — dump your whole month on you like a spreadsheet and expect you to "manage" your life inside a grid.

at some point i realized my problem wasn't the apps. it was that none of them respected how time actually feels day to day. you're never really dealing with "the month." you're dealing with yesterday (what happened, what you learned), today (what you're actually doing right now), and tomorrow (what you're walking into). everything else is noise.

so i built a calendar around exactly that — a 3-day view. reflect on yesterday, live in today, plan tomorrow. nothing else on screen.

a few friends have been using it since i started testing, and a couple with adhd specifically told me it's the first calendar that's actually stuck for them — no clutter, no 30 tiny boxes competing for attention, no decision fatigue just to check what's happening today. that stuck with me, because it wasn't a feature i designed for, it just fell out of keeping things simple.

so what do i want from you? i need your feedback. i want to know what's missing from your calendar that you would love to see here. i want to be that indie developer that delivers.

the app costs 2.99€ and i think it's a fair price considering the work i've put into it. it's not easy being the developer, the marketer, and the founder all at once — i made it for myself and a few friends first, but i think more people could use something this simple, which is why i made it public.

genuinely — brutal feedback welcome. tell me what's missing more than what's good.

so i built a calendar around exactly that - a 3-day view. reflect on yesterday. live in today and plan tomorrow. nothing else on screen.

the part i didn't expect: i put it in front of a few friends who have ADHD, just to get their read on it, and they were the ones who reacted the strongest. not because of any feature - because of what's missing. No clutter, no 30 tiny boxes competing for attention, no decision fatigue just to check what's happening today - they actually liked it.

The app costs 2,99e and i do think it's a fair price considering my work i have done on it. It's not easy especially when i am the developer, the marketer and the founder - the app was made for myself and a few friends, but i feel like more people need this type of apps, that's why i made it public.
