## About

Karu keeps your calendar, reminders and notes together on one page for each day.

Your tasks stay in Apple Reminders. Create, edit or complete a reminder in Karu and the changes appear in Reminders too. Your events sit beside your writing, unfinished tasks carry forward, and every meeting gets its own note.

Notes are plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, synced through iCloud Drive. No account, no server, no ads.

Karu is free, with optional one-time Pro packs. No subscription.

Available in public beta through TestFlight on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Requires macOS 26, iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.
