Creme is an intuitively simple and beautiful personal planner app that helps you organize your day. Plan tasks, set reminders, and complete to-dos for free and without ads.
Hi everyone, my name is Mike, I'm the indie developer behind Creme! Creme is an intuitively simple and beautiful personal calendar, reminders, and planner app to help you organize your day.
A few months ago I was in need of a new calendar but found the apps out there were (a) difficult to use, (b) lacked the features I wanted, and (c) were blocked by a subscription. So, I set a goal to create an app that combined the best features of a calendar/reminders/planner app, while making it incredibly intuitive to use, and be 100% free (and ad-free!).
Here is what you'll love about Creme:
- Free: everything you want in a calendar like reminders, tasks, subtasks, and custom tags without a subscription or ads.
- Simple: simple, minimal, and incredibly powerful. Simply gorgeous.
- Intuitive: easy-to-use without the hassle.
- Personal: entirely private and secure. Your data belongs to you, and we don't track anything.
- Customization: customize your calendar your way with tons of themes and different ways to organize data.
I hope you enjoy the app, and I would love to hear any feedback you may have.

Hey Mike - Creme looks clean. Honest question: why would someone pick this over Apple Calendar?
Saw your PH page says "simple and beautiful" - but that's what everyone says. The opportunity is specific frustration (Apple's too cluttered? Too many features you don't use?).
I work with solo founders who build better UX than big apps but lose on messaging.
One tweak: Instead of "simple calendar," test "The calendar app that doesn't judge your empty days" or whatever specific emotion your users feel.
Want to bounce 3 positioning angles? No cost - I like helping indie devs compete with the giants.

I'm trying the app now and it seems really nice.
Some feedback:
Please allow pasting text in the text fields.
The time setting doesn't really feel easy as it is now, something to think about to work on.
When changing an option in the Settings, it's not obvious what it does, another thing to think about.
The default for "when to receive a notification for a task" is hard set to 15 minutes before. If someone doesn't want that as a default, it can easily become annoying to have to change it for every new task.
This is all I have for now. Great app, having no ads and everything local is amazing! Thank you.
@tzino_mehmeti thank you for the detailed feedback! I'll take a look at all of this and see what changes I can make.

@mikerowave I'm happy to share the feedback!
I found another thing, after having created a task, when trying to change the date, it seems that the date I click to change it to is miscalculated to the previous one. So I tap to change the date to the 28th and it sets it to the 27th. So in order to set the date to the 28th I tap at the 29th (which is in the next row 😅)
Wow, Mike! This sounds amazing! Love how you went through the struggle to create something that really meets people's needs. The no ads part is a huge plus! Can’t wait to give it a shot and customize it my way. Keep up the awesome work! Curious to know if you’re planning any new features soon?
