So good to share Cron's iOS app with PH today. Thanks, Ivan! Everyone who signs up at cron.com in the next 24 hours will get an invite. You get access to both macOS/Windows and iOS app. I can't wait to hear what you think. Cron users get the iOS app here: cron.com/download/ios Since launching Cron and winning Product Hunt Productivity App of 2021, a mobile app has been our top request. Being able to manage your time whether you are in the office or on the go was important and we wanted to make sure we did it right. The app brings the power of Cron from desktop to mobile. For example, pull the time zone column sideways to show, hide, and add multiple time zones — all instantly in sync with your desktop. Events from multiple calendars auto-merge. Shared availabilities show alongside events. Event-blocking across connected accounts (e.g., block personal event on work calendar on the go). And of course, gorgeous light and dark modes. After iPhone, we'll get to Android & more. Also can't wait to bring Cron and Notion closer together. AMA! I'm around :)

@raphaelschaad Wow, this sounds great! I'm definitely excited to give it a try. Thanks for giving us the chance to be among the first to experience it. Let's see what we can do with it!

@raphaelschaad Will Apple ever open up the ability to show the date on your app icon?

@robertgaal I wish! I don't know but assume they will keep that close to their chest.

@raphaelschaad Finally! Instant install on my phone. I'm so happy. Cron has made my life so much easier this year; having it on my phone can only make things even better.

@raphaelschaad Congrats on your next steps — it's exciting to get to that point in a product's lifecycle! By "sign up at cron.com", meaning submit my email in the "Request Access" field? Double-checking since I'd previously-done that using the same field.

Last year I switched to Cron for my calendaring on desktop and now I've fully replaced the stock calendar on my phone too. The craft from Raphael and team really show. I can't wait for integrations between Cron and Notion. One small feature that has been a game changer for me: the Lock Screen Widget! It keeps me on track while on the go by telling me what's coming up next at a glance.

@ivanhzhao Why not try to make Notion Calendar a more powerful one with the acquisition of Cron? Really hope one can I can fully make Notion all-in-one-place. Thanks.

@ivanhzhao @oscarlin007 Stay tuned! 🙏

@ivanhzhao yes exactly it’s the craftmanship for me. The only other products that give me the same “oh… this is nice!” feeling are maybe slack and zoom. Speed is everything!

I think this is the app I've been looking for, and I won't miss anything on my agenda this time.

@rithvikpodduturi awesome 🙌 as you can tell, we approach each platform with a ton of care and can't wait to do the same for Android — some may say the work is already well under way … 👀

I've been using Cron on macOS since the very beginning — it is hands down the best calendar application on the market. Been bugging Raphael for *months* to have an iOS version, so yeah...I am so excited to see this launch! The app is fantastic already, I love that it *just worked* when I signed in, pulled in all my calendars, and looks great on my lock screen.

Christmas has come early! A huge improvement from google calendar on iOS. Does the the mobile app support conference integrations like Zoom yet?

@frostbitee08 You bet! All conferencing integrations you've connected sync right over and can be used on mobile. Check out the full list of supported conferencing providers: cron.com/conferencing

I've been using Cron desktop for almost 2 years—it's not just one of the best designed calendar apps, but one of the best designed pieces of software I use, period. I've been testing the iOS app for a few weeks and it's exactly what I expected out of the team: polished, thoughtful, and delightful. And the widgets are great too 😄 At this point, it's a mistake to not be using Cron.

@maxmusing Max, your beta feedback is invaluable. In a recent in-person bug bash in SF the team and I just went through your messages and squashed them one by one — always spot on!
Roy Vella
@maxmusing Does the app store release also have widgets available? Not seeing it... as a fellow long-term beta user of the desktop version, happy to add Cron to TestFlight too! Thx.

Launching soon!
Cron has been my default calendar app on desktop since its early days. The product is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, full of little big details. I'm eager to give it a spin on iOS. Congrats on your launch, @raphaelschaad and team, and keep it up 😻

Hi Raphael, I am one of the early users of Cron. I have liked it so much that my entire team of 20 people use Cron. For me - there are two worlds - One with Cron and One without. I am miles away from the latter. Three Reasons why I love Cron 1. Integration with Zoom 2. Beautiful UI & Extremely Fine Detailing 3. Smooth Reminders One thing which has been missing for me 1. Mobile App Gosh, we have it now! My life will be 10x better now! Man, I hate all ugly calendars & things. Cheers to Team Cron! Thanks, Uday Founder, Propacity

There’s no end to the nice things to say about Cron for Desktop and iOS. Effortless. Clean. Does what it says on the tin. But I want to applaud the effort behind the app: @raphaelschaad and team epitomize what it means to apply craft to software. Ever since the first versions of Cron back in 2020, I could look forward to improvements every week. WhatsApp messages from Raphael turn into thoughtful threads turn into changelog items. Add hard work and time to the mix, and you get the beautiful app that I love to use every day. Kudos team on the launch!

Perfection. Nice job bringing the exact experience of the desktop app so seamlessly to iOS, and the widget is crucial. watchOS next please :)

This is a big update, and one I've been really looking forward to! Congrats @raphaelschaad 🤩 Cron has been my go-to Calendar app on Mac and Windows and I've been anxiously waiting for the iOS app. I'm really excited to have the Cron experience across all my devices! Are there any plans to support the Apple Watch as well?
