ADHD Schedule Planner: Weel

I'm in the trial period, so I have a few days to decide whether to purchase a subscription, but here are my thoughts so far. I have been looking so long for something that will tell me how long it is until the next event that I've been seriously considering learning Xcode/Swift so I could write my own application. My ADHD brain looks at "appointment at 15:30" and just shrugs. I then have to check the current time, and do some mental math.. which is just enough effort that I'm likely to simply make a bad assumption about how long I have instead, and anyway the whole process just needlessly adds mental friction when all I ever want to know is how long until the thing. This app will tell you "2h 20m". Yes! No mental effort needed to interpret, no additional information to look up. I know how long I have. And the widgets and watch complications represent time this way as well. Perfect. Another positive: the wheel. It does just make more sense to me. It's easier to scan and understand where I am and how much time various things will take. And it's nice for time blocking because you can just move stuff around the circle when you get off track and need to push some things until later. AND it actually updates the entries in your actual calendar when you update them on the circle (except in one case, which I'll mention in a moment). Oh, and you can "dim" calendars that you still want to see but that aren't vital to you. I tried using a similar app with a round interface, Owaves, and loved it. Its UI was definitely smoother, but it was a complete walled garden with no way to sync events to other calendars and they were trying to push people to use it as social media, which makes me suspicious that they're just going to end up funding it with your data. I prefer Pical's approach. And regarding the privacy aspect: there's no account to sign up for, the dev claims not to collect your data, it uses calendars you already have (for me that's my iOS and Nextcloud calendars), so you keep control of your data while it keeps itself synced across your devices. Excellent. Those are some major positives. Here are the negatives: - The widgets and interface don't automatically change with system dark/light mode. The light mode is easier to read, but at night a bright screen is a problem for me, so I have to keep manually turning it on and off. Annoying. - If you create an event in the app you can't assign it to a calendar, so it will only ever appear in the app and not on y

I was looking for an app that could display my full day schedule on one 24h quadrant, as the discontinued App “Today” used to do for me. After a few bugs one the early days, the app is now delivering on its promises. I have it installed on my watch and can at a glance check the quadrant to see gaps during the day I can do some focus work, and other meetings I need to get ready for. I display on the same screen a summary of the next meetings with how much time remain. I love it!

I'm really enjoying this. I think the interface itself could be smoother with added functions since I'm used to todoist. But for what it already provides it's a great app! Thanks for whoever maintains it!

I thought I would like. To confusing. From someone with real ADHD.

It’s great for visualizing your day but it keeps deleting my events I put in for the months ahead. I had my September planned out and when I went to look there were no events.

This app changed my life!!! It’s the best calendar I’ve had to organize my life. I love how the face is 24 hours and I can easily add appointments. I can also easily check what time it will be in my time zone when friends from abroad ask to schedule appointments. I love how I can add transit options (walking, biking or driving) so my calendar tells me exactly when to leave. I’m a fan of how many color options I can use for different appointments and how easy it was (and still is) to sync my other calendars with this one once I downloaded it. My wife has the same app and we can easily sync our appointments. Most of the complaints about this app have been bug fixes that are now fixed. I’m happy to pay for an app that doesn’t sell my information or I am not the product they are selling. Thank you for creating such a great app that helps to keep my life organized!

The first preview shown is very misleading. I thought this app was integrated with Apple Watch face like the shown picture, but it’s not. It’s still an interesting concept, but I really hope there are more efforts also going into the watch, too.

I’m not quitting any of my previous calendar apps but this has given me tools I didn’t know I needed when scheduling my time! Well done

I love this app! I am a traveler who needs a calendar that makes it easy to see a schedule in different time zones. This app works great for that! I love how the widget looks on my landing screen and how I can customize the colors for the time zones, countries, etc. Easy to navigate and synch with my husband’s calendar. Highly recommend this app!

I have a few calendars I juggle for personal, work, freelance and adding them all, getting them all to refresh as I made changes through the day, and making edits in app were just too clunky for me. I thought that having the two wheels were innovative, but in practice made me more confused. I wish there were a way to turn it into one wheel or just have more visual options. I understand the vision- it's super cool and I bet it works for people with different backgrounds. I hope that it becomes more seamless in future iterations and I'd come back to try again!
