CircleTime is a different kind of calendar that provides insight into natural cycles, making it a more efficient and transparent timepiece, that empowers users to optimally plan their time. With its circular layout for daily, weekly, and monthly views, it enables the optimization of business and personal activities in harmony with nature. Its numerous useful features also make it ideal for planning outdoor activities.

Key features:
• daily, weekly, and a rotatable monthly view
• accurate 7-day weather forecast

CircleTime seamlessly blends natural time presentation with modern technology, allowing for organization according to individual needs and natural cycles.

CircleTime has three views (daily, weekly, and monthly) with an expandable list of events under each. The central circle displays the current or selected date, lunar illumination, and weather forecast. You can switch between moon phases and weather forecast by tapping on the icons. In the monthly view, you can navigate forward or backward in timeline by rotating the outer circle or tapping on the desired month. The weekly and daily views display events in the form of arcs and also indicate daytime/nighttime and moon visibility. The daily view additionally presents an hourly weather forecast for the next 48 hours. Furthermore, CircleTime offers the option to customize a widget that can be displayed on your device's home screen. This widget allows you to display information about the current date, lunar phases, and weather forecast and can be customized to show only one of these.

CircleTime is entirely ad-free, without tracking or profiling, and eliminates the need for mandatory user login.

Will buy if not with subscription model

Nice little app to track agenda in a circular visual.

However, if it is only a one time purchase I would buy it but not subscription

Developer may take ref to the business model to the Agenda or Concept app (paid once for a set of basic feature but extra by user choice to upgrade)

I would say this is a fair and sustainable model and could attract more users

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your rating and providing feedback with your concerns about the subscription model. We’ll have a look over that soon and try to find a suitable solution.

It’s a subscription now

I’d buy it if it were a one time purchase. But it’s hard to justify a subscription.

Update in regards to the developer reaching out to explain their reasoning for moving to a subscription. See the thing is I actually hadn’t updated the app in about a year to avoid the subscription. I was forced to when I upgraded to a new phone. The original purchase app was good enough for me. It let me add events and track dates in a convenient format. From a consumer point of view further updates were largely unnecessary and if it means moving to ‘software as a service,’ unwanted. As it stands now the free app version does nothing for me. I can’t enter events anymore without upgrading.
Long story short, from the consumer side this was a major step back. I no longer have a use for this app. My need is for the long haul ie. years. And I have no interest in paying for the app a dozen times over in that time. Updates were not necessary.

Thank you for rating and the chance to explain why we introduced a subscription.

CircleTime was removed from sale a couple of years ago, and hasn't had a proper update for new devices even longer. In order to bring it back from the dead and ensure the same thing doesn't happen again, we had to come up with a more reliable funding - one that doesn't involve tracking our users, selling their personal data and bombarding them with pesky ads.

At certain point developers realized that 'pay once, use forever' model had become unsustainable. It may have worked in the dawn of mobile applications when development was simpler, shorter and less expensive. It still works for certain products, such as games that you play once and then forget about, but not so much for productivity apps that require continuous updates for reliable functioning. Comparative apps have already adopted subscription based model (a.k.a. 'software as a service'), and it should come as no surprise that we did the same, albeit late.

From a user perspective- if I enjoy using the app and wish to see it evolve and grow into something truly remarkable, I'll gladly support it by subscribing. Especially if it's a developer who responds to users' feedback and includes their suggestions whenever possible. :)

Lovely, but Needs Widgets

This app is very beautiful, but I find myself returning to Apple’s free calendar app because of the easily accessible widgets, which can be added to the Home Screen and quickly referenced for scheduling reminders.

I think adding several widget options for CircleTime, such as a moon phase widget and a widget each for day/week/month, will definitely make this app worth the sub. Without Home Screen widgets, I find that it is easy to forget I even have this app (one that I paid for) installed! It was for this reason I gave it 3 stars.

However, I did subscribe for the year in the hopes that developers might be encouraged (or perhaps already have plans) to add this feature! All and all, this is a visually-pleasing app with a lot of potential! (pagan Wheel of the Year theme, anyone?)

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the extensive feedback! We actually do plan to make a few widgets by end of the year, so your timing is perfect. As for the pagan themes, we will get more into that later, but for now - just in case you missed it - there is an option in Preferences to replace calendar and clock digits with Nordic runes, among some others.

We thank you for the annual subscription and will try our best that you don’t get disappointed.
