Four apps you already pay for,
in one that respects you.
Kalend puts your to-do list, calendar, habit tracker and journal in a single native iPhone app — and syncs them through your own iCloud, so there is no account to create and no company server holding your day.
Coming to the App Store. Built in Edmonton by The Big Head.
To-Do
Projects, priorities, due dates and real repeating tasks that roll forward instead of just closing.
Calendar
Your actual system calendar — work, personal, shared — shown beside the tasks due that day.
Habits
Daily, chosen weekdays, X times a week or every N days. With streak protection built in.
Journal
A private diary, newest entry first. Write with headings, lists and checkboxes, then read it back like a book.
Your day is not our data
Most productivity apps put your tasks, meetings and personal goals on a company server. Kalend does not have one. There is nothing to breach and no terms that can change later.
- No Kalend account — you never create a login
- No Kalend server — sync runs entirely through your personal iCloud
- Calendar events stay in your own calendar accounts and are never copied out
- Fully offline-first — every feature works with no connection
- No analytics SDK, no advertising identifiers, no third-party code at all
Why one app instead of three
A typical setup costs around $120 a year across apps that cannot see each other's data. Your habit tracker does not know you are on holiday; your task list does not know your afternoon is already booked.

Built the way iOS wants apps built
Native Swift and SwiftUI throughout — not a web page in a wrapper. That is what makes the small things possible.
Add things without opening the app
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Centre button, and Siri — "add task", "log habit" — so capture never costs you a context switch.
It understands what you type
Type "gym tomorrow 6pm" and Kalend works out the title, the date and whether it belongs on your calendar. It runs on your device, so it works on a plane.
Streaks that survive real life
Miss one day and a grace day absorbs it. Research found missing a single opportunity does not derail habit formation, so the app does not pretend otherwise.
A 66-day goal, not a myth
Lally et al. (2010) measured a median of 66 days to automaticity, with a range of 18 to 254 — Kalend tracks that instead of the popular but unsupported "21 days".
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. There is no Kalend account and no Kalend server. Your data stays on your device and syncs between your own devices through your personal iCloud.
Does it work offline?
Yes — Kalend is offline-first. Everything works with no connection, and changes sync when you are back online.
Will it read my calendar?
Only if you allow it, and only to show your events beside your tasks. Kalend asks for calendar access the first time you open the Calendar tab, after explaining why. Your events are never copied into Kalend's own storage.
What will it cost?
A free tier with unlimited tasks, calendar and journal plus three habits, and a premium unlock for unlimited habits, every widget, the Watch app and statistics. Final pricing will be confirmed at launch.
Is there an Android or web version?
No. Kalend is deliberately iOS-only — the deep system integration it relies on, like EventKit, widgets, Siri and Apple Watch, is exactly what a cross-platform build cannot do well.
