What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 113 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $69.12 a year. - You could make: Calendar, tasks and habit tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
