Know what's next the moment you open your phone.
Next Up Now reads your calendar and puts the one thing that matters right at the top: the meeting you're in, or the next one, with a clear countdown. Under it, see exactly when you're free and for how long, then scroll your day below.
WHAT'S NEXT, AT A GLANCE
• A pinned card shows the current or upcoming meeting, how long until it starts, and when it ends.
• "Free at 11:45 AM · 15 min" tells you when you get your time back, so a gap is never a guess.
• When a meeting is about to end, the card shows what's up next so there's no jarring cut-over.
• Meetings from every calendar on your phone appear together: iCloud, Google, Exchange and more.
OVERLAPPING MEETINGS, SORTED OUT
• Double-booked? Every conflicting meeting is stacked in one place so none is hidden.
• Each shows its room or video link (Zoom, Teams, a room number), so you know where to go.
A DAY VIEW THAT STAYS READABLE
• Opens scrolled to the present, with finished meetings dimmed.
• Swipe to move between days, or jump to any date.
• All-day events sit above the schedule instead of cluttering it.
• Choose how "now" shows inside a meeting that's under way: a label, a line, or a progress bar.
REMINDERS AND WIDGET
• Optional reminders before each meeting, 1 to 30 minutes ahead, with the room if there is one.
• A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget shows what's next without opening the app.
• Pick which calendars to include, and set when your workday ends.
WORLD CLOCKS FOR PEOPLE ON CALLS ACROSS TIME ZONES
• Add any city, state or country. Not sure what time zone Utah is in? Search it.
• See every place side by side with the current time and whether people are working, in the evening, or asleep.
• Four views: Timeline, Cards, Meet and Dial.
• Meet finds the best times to call, so you don't wake someone up. If there's no perfect time, it shows the least-bad one.
BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
Light and dark appearance, large text support, and a layout that works on both.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your calendar stays on your device. Next Up Now has no account, no sign-up and no tracking.
Download it and see what's next.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• New day shape bar: a quick, to-scale strip of your day showing meetings, free time, and the current time. Tap any segment to jump straight to that meeting in your agenda.
• Optimized for iPhone Duo: NextUp now fills both the outer and inner displays, with the toolbar buttons moving to the side strip on the outer display.
• Better on wide screens: on iPad and the iPhone Duo inner display, your schedule stays in a comfortable, centered column instead of stretching edge to edge.
• Bug fixes and polish.
