Riff · iPhone calendar beta

The whole calendar, always in view

Riff feels like a paper calendar. The week is just there, at a glance. Zoom out and half a year is on screen. Zoom in and one morning fills it. You write new events straight onto the calendar. Edit an event and the calendar shows the change as you make it.

A real screen recording. The motion is the product.

Zoom instead of switching views

“When are you free?” To answer it, you scan the months ahead, then read one day closely. In Riff both happen on the same page. Plan the trip over whole months. Zoom in to two weeks and pick the day. Every stop on the way is a working calendar. A double-tap on the day dives into its evening for a dinner. The day you were looking at stays on screen. Slide the calendar and the weeks glide past. For a long weekend, zoom to just its three days.

Months, one evening, the weeks ahead, then just the long weekends.

Create events directly on the calendar

Hold an empty slot and an event appears. Drag its lower edge to adjust the duration. Type the title and you’re done. An event you’ve had before comes back after a few letters, details and all. Everything else waits until you need it.

Pressed into place, drawn to length, and a few letters finish the title.

See every change as you make it

Select an event and its details appear as dials, wired straight to the calendar. Dialing the start time slides the event to the new hour. A weekly repeat fills the weeks ahead the moment you apply.

A new hour, a weekly repeat, and an end date dialed three weeks out.

Your calendars, not copies of them

Work Personal Family

Riff works directly on the calendars already on your iPhone: iCloud, Google, Exchange, whatever Apple Calendar sees. There is no Riff account and nothing to import. Events you create or move in Riff show up everywhere else. Delete the app and your data hasn’t gone anywhere.

Data collected: none

Riff has no server, no account and no analytics. Your events pass between Apple’s calendar database and your screen. Riff adds no stop of its own. Not collecting data isn’t a policy. There is nowhere for it to go.

What it isn’t (yet)

Someone asks when you’re free. This time, nobody waits.
