Today, in one list
Open it, see today, add something, move it if you need to, tick it off. That is the entire experience, and nothing else is allowed to clutter it.

Reignwell TimeSync
Today’s list, and who has the hall.
A simple list of what you need to do, that works with your calendar. Shared calendars for the things a group books between them, like the main hall or the bus. And to-do lists for everything that has no date on it at all.
- Runs in
- A browser, on a computer or a phone
- Three parts
- Daily list, shared calendars, to-do lists
- Reminders
- Reach your phone with the app closed
- Outside code in it
- None. Every line is ours
The three parts
Kept apart on purpose.
A task is not a calendar entry
A task can have no time at all. If it has one, it can also go on your calendar. Deleting the calendar entry never deletes the task, which is where most apps quietly lose things.
Shared calendars for shared things
The main hall. The bus. The good projector. Anything a group books between them. Being able to see a calendar and being able to book on it are two different permissions.
It refuses a double booking
A calendar that stands for one real thing will not take two bookings at the same time. It tells you what is already booked rather than showing an error and leaving you to guess.
Lists for everything with no date
Packing, projects, ideas. Lists can hold other lists, there is a map view for moving them about, and you can draw over the map.
The same app on a phone
Not a cut-down version. Tap is click, press and hold picks something up so you can slide it, and two fingers tapped together is a right-click. It switches itself on when a finger is driving.
The rules
How it treats other people’s time.
Changing what others see is a decision
Dragging things about on the calendar writes nothing. Pressing Save first tells you what will move, how many other people will see it, and which outside calendars get written over.
Nothing is lost quietly
Not a task when its calendar entry vanishes. Not a change you made with no signal. Not your data if you stop paying. If something has to go, you are told.
No outside code in it
TimeSync has no third-party dependencies at all. Every line was written for it. That is unusual, and it means there is no chain of other people’s packages to be surprised by.
Where it’s up to
Reignwell TimeSync is in development and not on sale yet. It is running on our server, and accounts are created by us rather than by signing yourself up.
Two honest limits:
- Syncing with Google and Microsoft calendars is built, but not switched on for everyone. Google has to approve the connection before that can happen. The approval is theirs to give, it takes weeks, and until it lands the number of people who can connect a Google calendar is capped.
- There is no price yet. When there is one it will be published here.
Does your group share something?
A hall, a van, a room, a piece of kit that people keep double booking. Email us and we will set it up so you can see how it handles it.
