Overview

Mayday reimagines the digital calendar as an intelligent scheduling partner rather than a passive grid of boxes. By syncing all your existing calendars into one unified view, it uses AI to learn your habits and preferences, then proactively suggests the best times for meetings, tasks, and personal priorities. Instead of just recording your commitments, Mayday actively works to defend your time from overbooking and unnecessary interruptions. With tools like Smart Tags, Time Windows, and Scheduling Links, users can categorize events, define their real availability, and share booking links that respect their boundaries. Natural language input makes adding events effortless, while features like Buffer Time and protective time blocks ensure there's breathing room between commitments. Whether you're juggling a packed professional calendar or simply trying to reclaim focus time, Mayday acts as a guardrail between your intentions and your actual day. Currently available on iOS, macOS, and iPadOS, Mayday is built for people who want their calendar to work for them, not the other way around. As upcoming features like automatic task scheduling and Smart Travel Time roll out, the app is positioning itself as a comprehensive AI layer over your entire time-management stack.
