A calmer day planner for neurodivergent brains

7 followers

Calendars show when. Kairoscope shows what the day costs. Your whole day is one circle — a month or a year too. Every event carries a weight, so it can say a day is full before you live it. Built for neurodivergent brains. When starting is the hard part, it offers one step and a two-minute timer, or breaks a task into 3-7 steps. Low-pressure mode rewrites the app, and its pushes, as offers not orders. The AI proposes, never decides: facts computed server-side, nothing applies unconfirmed.

Every calendar I tried answered the wrong question. They tell you when something is. None of them tell you what it does to you. Kairoscope draws the day as one circle. You see the shape of it before you live it, where it's dense and where there's air. A month draws the same way, and so does a whole year. The part I didn't expect to matter most is the help for starting. Knowing what to do and being able to begin are two different problems, and almost nothing is built for the second one. So there's a two-minute timer on a single step, and a button that cuts a task into three to seven pieces with a length on each. Two things changed while I was building. Every AI feature became proposal-only. Facts get computed on the server and the model only phrases them. Nothing happens until you tap. And then low-pressure mode, which strips imperatives out of the whole interface, and as of this release out of the push notifications too. An offer instead of a task. No "you should". Happy to answer anything. The dial is the part people either love on day one or find strange for about a week, and I still don't know which of those tells me more.

Kairoscope 1.0.4 is out. Here's what changed:

Zoom out. The dial can now show a whole month, or a whole year, as one ring. Each day gets a ray, and the ray is longer the busier that day is. So the heavy weeks show up before you get to them.
Night on the dial. The hours between sunset and sunrise are shaded on the 24-hour ring. It's off by default.
One step at a time. You can go through a checklist one item at a time, and each item gets its own timer. When starting is the hard part, "Break into steps" suggests 3 to 7 smaller steps, and you pick how many to keep.
Your phone's calendars can show up faintly on the dial. The app reads them on your phone and never uploads them.
Meds × energy. Long-press the pill badge to see how much of today's draining work falls inside the window you set for when your medication works. The app only counts the minutes. It won't give you advice about your medication.
Low-pressure mode now changes how notifications are worded too, in all four languages.

Also fixed: times now follow your 12h/24h setting everywhere. Before, a phone set to a 24-hour clock could still show "12:12 AM" in a few places.

One thing to try first: update the app, tap the fourth icon above the dial, and look at last month as a ring. If it shows you something you didn't expect, tell me here.
