It is now the year of Our Lord 2024, and we have Machine Learning models that can do all kinds of weird stuff.
And yet, something as simple as a calendar app that does the following doesn’t exist yet:
- Get to know my work and sleep schedule (for example, I sleep 8 hours a day, usually between 22:00 and 06:00).
- Take all my to-do items (or reminders, whatever you want to call them) and put them in my calendar.
- Preferably not back-to-back, but with some time in between to catch a breath.
- If a to-do item is on-site, automatically add travel time.
- If a to-do item isn’t finished or done at all, add it to my calendar again at the next opportunity
- Is there no hole in my schedule big enough to accommodate the calendar item? Skip until the next day/time when I do have the time.
Ronald pointed me to an article that says Apple will try to combine the Reminder and Calendar apps in iOS 18. I hope Apple doesn’t muck it up. For now, I’m disappointed at Fantastical, which I paid €7.99 per month for, in the hope that it would do the things described above.
