About this app

Timebound turns the calendars already on your phone into a radar.

Distance from the centre is time: what is about to happen sticks to the middle, what is a week away sits at the rim. The angle is the real bearing from where you are. The size of a dot shows how far away it is.

THE SCREEN
- Every ring is an hour, a day or a week - pinch to change the level
- The closer something gets, the more the label says: first just the name, then the time, then place and distance
- Events in the same direction fan out instead of covering each other

WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
- Travel time for car, motorcycle, bicycle and on foot
- A bar from leaving to the start - if two bars touch, you will not make it
- Whatever demands you first glows brightest during the sweep. It is measured by the departure, not the start: 2 pm in Frankfurt demands you earlier than 10 am around the corner
- A local reminder, "Time to leave", with an adjustable buffer
- A widget with your next event and a running countdown

HONEST
- No map and no navigation inside the app. Handing over to your maps app is a tap, never automatic
- If the calculator cannot be reached, a labelled estimate is shown, not an invented number
- Meeting links from Teams, Zoom, Meet and Webex are recognised
- One slider for the colour, one switch for light or dark

PRIVATE
- No account, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking
- Your events stay on the device and are only read, never changed
- Only the place text of an event and a start coordinate, destination coordinate and travel mode leave the device - to services we operate ourselves. No third-party geocoder
- 20 languages, follows the system language

What’s new

First release. Your calendar as a radar: distance is time, angle is the real bearing, and the departure tells you when to go.
