An Apple Calendar alternative with tasks, analytics and conversational AI built in.
Apple Calendar is free, reliable and clean — but tasks live in a separate Reminders app, there's no conversational AI in the calendar itself, and Apple Intelligence features are rolled out unevenly. Planifai is the modern, unified AI alternative.

FAQ
People also ask.
Doesn't Apple Intelligence already do this?
+
Siri can create events via voice, but Apple doesn't ship a conversational chat inside the Calendar app itself. Planifai's whole product is that chat.
Why is adding an event faster in Planifai?
+
Because you type or dictate one sentence. Apple Calendar still requires six taps — plus button, title, start date, start time, duration, save.
Your best week starts with a sentence.
