Your day, now on screen.
Only for Mac
$19.99
Now on iPhone and iPad. Keep plans and favorite updates close on Mac or on the go. Customize your timeline and highlight what matters with smart rules.
Tired of switching between Calendar, Reminders, GitHub, and your favorite news sources?
Nunc brings your plans and updates to a timeline at the edge of your screen—or spreads them across your desktop with an event wall. A quick glance shows you what’s happening and what’s next, while you stay with the task at hand.
Key Features
• Everything in View: Bring calendar events, reminders, RSS feeds, and plugin updates together, so your plans and interests share one place.
• Two Ways to See Your Day: Keep a timeline at the edge of your screen or explore your content on the desktop event wall. Both views share your sources and rules.
• Follow What You Love: Keep up with GitHub activity, blogs, and RSS/Atom feeds. Explore the plugin marketplace or connect your own sources with custom plugins.
• Make What Matters Stand Out: Filter events by title, content, or source. Apply colors, symbols, and keyword highlights, or use AI conditions to match content by meaning.
• Make Your Desktop Yours: Adjust placement, fonts, themes, and transparency. Choose a transparent, frosted, or solid background for your event wall to fit your workspace.
• Read Across Languages: Browse content in the built-in reader and translate it with system translation or an AI service you configure.
• Move Quickly: Use mouse controls or keyboard shortcuts to view details, browse updates, and open original links.
• Connect Your AI Assistant: Use MCP with compatible AI clients to query events and manage feeds and rules.
• Keep Your Setup in Sync: Sync RSS feeds, rules, and templates across your devices with iCloud.
Keep your day in view. Keep your focus on what you’re doing.
more Overall, it works well, but there are two issues:1. Could you please support changing the option shortcut key (shortcut keys conflict between applications), or setting a time limit for the pop-up to remain active before disappearing?2. Could you please support setting the pop-up window size? It's very small on a 4K external screen.
Developer Response Thanks for the feedback! Both points are covered in the latest version: you can now adjust the font size in Settings, and the popover window scales along with it, so it won't feel as small. Keyboard shortcuts are customizable too — you'll find the options in the app menu in the menu bar.
