Riff is a calendar you zoom: one continuous calendar from half a year to a single day, as direct as paper. Hold a free slot, type the title, and you’re done.
Riff is a calendar that you zoom. Pinch your fingers together and half a year fits on screen. Spread them and a single day opens, hour by hour. There are no month, week and day views to switch between.
EVERY STEP OF THE ZOOM IS A WORKING CALENDAR
Zoom out to find a free weekend, zoom in to pick the hour. The day you were looking at stays on screen the whole way.
EDIT ON THE CALENDAR ITSELF
Hold a free slot and type a title. Slide an event to a new hour, or carry it to another week. The days around it stay in view while you edit.
WEATHER AND DAYLIGHT
Each day shows its forecast, and a faint shade covers the hours between sunset and sunrise where you are. Turn them on in Riff’s settings.
YOUR CALENDARS, NO ACCOUNT
Riff works on the calendars already on your iPhone: iCloud, Google, Exchange and the rest. There is nothing to import and no account, and no data is collected. Reminders stand beside your events.
ALSO
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, alerts, repeats, search, time zones, Siri and Shortcuts, 30 languages.
GOOD TO KNOW
Riff is for iPhone and needs iOS 26 or later. You can answer invitations but not send them.
PRICE
Free for three weeks with everything included. Then choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase. Every option unlocks all of Riff and works with Family Sharing. The prices for your country are under In-App Purchases.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You manage them in your App Store account settings.

I’ve been testing Riff for a while as my main calendar since it landed on TestFlight. I like its clear and simplistic UI and the zoom bar. I will say that I’m surprised that it’s either a subscription or its “current $49” Founding Price THAT WILL GO UP! Good luck with that Dev, Back to my old Calendar 😅 Thanks
Developer Response
Good feedback, thank you. I have lowered the price, and no increase is planned.
Weather and daylight in the calendar.
Weather: each day’s forecast stands beside its date, and a single day shows it hour by hour. An event pinned to a place shows the forecast there.
Daylight: a faint shade covers the hours between sunset and sunrise where you are, so an evening run before dark is easy to plan.
Both are switches in Riff’s settings.
