Your calendar agrees
with everything. This one argues.
Say what you have to do. It builds the day around what can't move, tells you why each thing landed there, and records what you actually did.

What it does
It holds the structure you can't hold.
Schedule
Say it in plain language and it becomes a rule, not an entry. Commitments stay put, flexible work goes into gaps that actually exist, and every placement comes with the reason it landed there.
Nudges
A notification before each block, with Done and Skip from the lock screen, and an escalating nudge when you still haven't moved. It climbs, then stops for the day rather than nagging into the night.
Calendar
Reads the events you already have as commitments it works around and never moves, and writes its own blocks back into a separate calendar you can switch off or delete.
Ask
A conversation with something that has read your week. Ask what to do now, or why you keep skipping a thing, and it answers from your own record. It shows you exactly what it sent to answer.
Hands
Letting it change the plan itself instead of only describing it, and reach past the app into reminders, Shortcuts, and the lights, speakers and TV at home. Every reach is yours to allow, one at a time.
Voice
Talk to it, and have it answer out loud. A brief in the morning, a review at night, and hands-free answers in the car.
FAQ
Straight answers.
Can I use it yet?
Not yet. It runs on our own phone, installed by hand. There's no store build and no testers. Get in touch and you'll hear when there's something to put on your phone.
How is this different from a to-do list?
A to-do list takes your word for it. This one does the time math: it tells you the work doesn't fit before the day starts, which gap it chose and why, and what you actually did instead of what you meant to do.
Does what I tell it leave my phone?
Only if you decide it does. On its own it runs on the phone and sends nothing. Point it at a model server in your own house and it shares your day, week and record. Point it at one on the internet and it sends only the sentence you typed, until you widen that yourself.
Is it going to nag me?
It speaks up before a block starts, and if you still haven't moved it escalates, then stops for the day. The voice stays flat: what happened, and what follows from it. It never scolds and never leaves you a pile of red to feel bad about.
What will it cost?
Not decided. The scheduling, the rules, the nudges and the record of what happened are meant to stay free. If anything is ever paid, it'll be on this site before it ships.
Pre-flight
Tell it what you keep dropping.
No public build yet. Say what falls off your day first and you'll hear when there's something to install.
