Kalend: Daily Planner & Habits
Daily Planner, Habits, Journal
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A daily planner, to-do list, habit tracker and journal in one. Now with clearer
choices, buttons that answer, and nothing important deleted without asking.
A daily planner, to-do list, habit tracker and journal in one app — and it reads like a typewritten diary rather than a dashboard.
Kalend holds four things in one place: your to-do list, your real calendar, the habits you are building, and a private journal. It is made to be read rather than managed. Two typefaces, ruled lines, ink on paper. Nothing pulses, nothing badges you red, nothing asks for attention it has not earned. Colour appears only when it is telling you something.
It is a native app on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, and it syncs through your own iCloud. There is no Kalend account, because there is no Kalend server.
A TO-DO LIST THAT SURVIVES A REAL WEEK
- Projects, priorities and due dates
- Repeats that actually repeat: daily, weekdays, chosen days, monthly, yearly, or every few days
- Pending and Done kept apart, so finished work leaves your view without disappearing
- Fell behind? Move one overdue task, or all of them, to today in a single tap
- Type "gym tomorrow 6pm" and Kalend works out the title, the date and the time. It runs on your device, so it works on a plane.
A DAILY PLANNER BUILT ON YOUR REAL CALENDAR
- Reads your real calendars — work, personal, shared — and shows them beside the tasks due that day
- Your events stay in your own accounts. Kalend never copies or uploads them.
- Keep your own appointments too, with colours, reminders and repeats
- Track shifts or anything recurring: hold an appointment and copy it, and only the date needs changing
A HABIT TRACKER WITH STREAKS THAT FORGIVE
- Every day, chosen weekdays, a number of times a week, or every few days
- Grace days absorb a miss, because missing one day does not undo a habit
- A calendar of the year you can tap to correct, and a record you can trust: kept, rate, longest run
- Progress toward 66 days — the median researchers actually measured for a habit to become automatic, not the popular but unsupported "21 days"
- A written line each morning, on the days that need one
A JOURNAL YOU WILL ACTUALLY READ BACK
- Newest day first, the way a diary is kept
- Headings, bullets, numbered lists, checkboxes, quotes and dividers
- Written in the same typeface you will read it in
- Search everything you have ever written, and export it all as one plain-text file
- Word counts, and a note of how long you have kept it up
ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN
- On iPad and Mac the sections stand down the side, and habits and journal open as two panes — the list stays put while you read
- Keyboard shortcuts throughout
- Apple Watch app for ticking off today's habits
- Home Screen widgets with buttons that work in place, and a Control Centre button for capture in one press
- Siri and Shortcuts
REMINDERS THAT KEEP
- Habit reminders are standing arrangements. They do not quietly expire because you did not open the app.
- One morning note with what the day holds, if you would rather have that than a reminder for every item
- Everything arrives in one Kalend stack rather than filling your lock screen
USABLE BY ANYONE
- Controls are told apart by shape, not only colour, so the app holds up under Differentiate Without Color
- VoiceOver throughout, Dynamic Type to the largest sizes, Reduce Motion honoured
- Deleting a habit or a journal entry always asks first
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account. You never create a login.
- No Kalend server. Sync runs through your personal iCloud, in a private database only you can read.
- No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party code of any kind
- Works offline. Every feature, no connection, syncing when you are back.
NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO IN-APP PURCHASES, NO ADS
Everything described above is included. Nothing is limited, locked, counted or held back for later.
Kalend requires iOS 18 and works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 11.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Every choice shows you which one you picked, every button answers when you press it, and nothing irreplaceable leaves without asking first.
CHOICES YOU CAN SEE
• Priority, schedule, the days a habit belongs on and light/dark are boxed
now, and the one you chose is filled in. They used to be told apart only by
how dark the ink was — which is barely a difference at a glance, and no
difference at all with Differentiate Without Color switched on.
• The seven weekdays sit on one line, as a week. Sunday used to wrap onto a
row of its own.
BUTTONS THAT ANSWER
• New is a button you can see, on all four tabs. Every action in a title bar
now presses back under your thumb, with a light tap for the ones that make
something.
• Repeat, project and reminder are drawn in Kalend's own hand rather than
arriving as grey system controls, and so are the steppers on a habit.
NOTHING IRREPLACEABLE BY ACCIDENT
• Deleting a habit or a journal entry asks first, and no longer happens on a
careless full swipe. A habit takes its whole history with it, and an entry
cannot be written again.
• Swipe a habit to mark today done, the way you already could with a task.
AN ORDER OF YOUR OWN
• Undated to-dos can be moved up and down — hold one and choose. Dated ones
stay in date order, which is the order they mean.
MOTION THAT ASKS FIRST
• Reduce Motion now genuinely reduces motion. Every animation in the app
honours it; before, most of them could not see the setting at all.
• Moving between tabs turns the page instead of cutting to it.
SMALLER THINGS
• New Habit opens with the keyboard up and the cursor in the name, the way
New To-Do always has.
• The arrows on a month are drawn now, like everything else on the page.
FIXED
• A chosen weekday was harder to read than an unchosen one: the letter was
dark ink on the habit's colour, which failed contrast on all eight colours
in both themes.
• Choosing Light or Dark repainted the app behind Settings and left Settings
itself alone — the one screen that could not show you the change you had
just made.
• Quick Add and the move-to-a-date sheet kept a floating capsule around their
buttons that the rest of the app had already shed.
