The real apps

Your whole calendar on iPhone and iPad. The next thing on Watch.

Actual app captures with fictional sample calendar data — the real interfaces, without anyone's personal calendar.

InstaCal on iPhone showing the Agenda with a mini month, weather, Apple Reminders, events and meeting Join buttons — **Agenda** — Events and reminders together, grouped by day.

InstaCal on iPhone showing three months in the Quarter view with forecasts and calendar indicators — **Quarter** — Three months at once, with weather and event indicators.

InstaCal on iPad with the agenda, month calendar and event inspector arranged as a native three-pane workspace — **iPad workspace** — Agenda, calendar and inspector arranged in native panes.

Actual InstaCal Apple Watch app showing Design review under Now with a live countdown and Lunch with Sam under Next — **Apple Watch** — Now and Next, captured from the real Watch app.

Made for every screen

The right amount of calendar for the device in your hand.

Six views made for touch

Agenda, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year, with a rolling three-day week in portrait and a full week in landscape.

A real iPad workspace

The agenda, calendar and event inspector adapt into two or three panes instead of stretching a phone layout.

Drag time into place

Move and resize events in 15-minute steps, swipe through the view ladder and configure pinch for views or timeline density.

Quick Add and Quick Edit

Create naturally in 12 languages; English Quick Edit can move, cancel and rename. Search shares the same field, and Apple Intelligence can add context on supported iPhones and iPads.

Home Screen, Lock Screen and controls

Home Screen widgets include Next Event, Agenda, Month, Up Next + Calendar and Day Briefing. The Lock Screen gets glanceable widgets and optional Live Activities; Quick Add can be a control.

Now, Next and Later on Apple Watch

See the day briefing and live countdown, then add InstaCal to your complications or Smart Stack. A watch-local snapshot keeps glances from waiting on the phone.

Still InstaCal

The details that make a calendar useful.

Events and reminders together

Full event and reminder editors, Apple Reminders, alerts, repeat rules and priority — plus reminder completion from the Agenda widget. Direct Google and Microsoft accounts can reply to invites.

Meetings without the hunt

InstaCal finds Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and other links and keeps Join available until the event ends.

Weather, moon and two time zones

Plan the day with its forecast, principal moon phase and an optional second time zone in view.

Travel and leave-by intelligence

See measured travel time and a leave-by time in event details, with optional time-to-leave alerts and departure-aware Live Activities.

Siri and Shortcuts

Add or change an event, ask for the next event or Day Briefing, and open InstaCal without hunting through your Home Screen.

No InstaCal cloud required

Calendars stay current through Apple, Google or Microsoft. There is no InstaCal account, analytics system or preferences cloud.

Built for your Mac. Included everywhere else.

The Mac app remains InstaCal's home base: the menu bar panel, status item and full six-view window are the fastest way to run your calendar at a desk.

Leave the desk and the same $29 purchase is already waiting on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. iPhone and iPad carry the whole calendar; Watch keeps Now, Next and Later glanceable. None is a second product to buy.
