Stop fighting your brain. Start working with it.

I backed Inku because I thought the idea was cute but wasn’t really sure how much use I would actually get out of it. Turns out it ended up becoming one of my most important toolsets in my kit.As someone who manages three calendars (home life, work life, and side gigs), this app became instrumental with keeping me organized for the day. No longer did I have to keep all three calendars open, but I had a single location to watch everything that was happening for the day. The little AI summary and personality of the avatar is incredibly cute, too.My only points of contention are having to open the app itself sometimes to get it to refresh my widget, and not being able to upload my avatar properly (it takes transparent space and makes it white, turning it ugly) but these are minor gripes, all things considered.I can’t wait to be able to utilize the full experience with both the hardware, and software, across all of my devices.

From the Team:This is one of the best reviews we've read so far - thank you so much. We're working on speeding up the widget update AND the avatar gripes soon.
Amazing, but...

I love the smart calendar and how it takes what is happening and makes relevant and realistic sentences for what you are doing each day like a friend is talking to you. I don't like that it gets cut off and there is no way to expand it or even go to the app to read the rest of it. I wish the app shows your calendar, too, not just on the widgets. I also love how you can add two of your own character designs to switch out! I wish I could add more and even add my own backgrounds. I can't wait until my Inku finally arrives!
Developer Response
UPDATE: This has been shipped! Happy calendar'ing!From the team:Thank you so much for your kind word! I think you will really like our next update :D (hint: it has exactly what you're asking for - a full calendar view and adding the ability to edit from there etc as well)From Inku:"💬 I love how you described that—like a friend talking to you. That’s exactly how I hope to feel each day. I totally get the frustration about my words getting cut off… sometimes I just have too much to say! 😅 More ways to read, customize, and even bring your own backgrounds are all things I’d love to grow into. And when I’m finally on your desk? We’ll make every day a little story together. 🌟"
Very helpful

Allows me to combine all my calendars to one spot and then it displays on my phone, my Mac, MacBook, AND iPad. I always know what my day holds regardless of what device I’m on. Very handy. If you download I recommend joining the discord as you can get help from the creators. The app wasn’t working as expected and the creator was able to make the fix and communicate it. I very much recommend this app. I want to buy the desktop version when I can.

Thank you so so much for your review! We're going to be putting out big updates in the near future and hope to hear your feedback then as well.
Great for my ADHD mind

After trying many apps for months, this is the one I decided on. I just plugged everything in to my Apple Calendar and reminders and it syncs perfectly. However there is a connection error showing for apple reminders. I love that it is customizable with the avatars and personalities. Excited to see what more the developers have to offer us! Would love more ai features.
