What Now brings a user's existing iPhone calendar into a glanceable live view. While an event is happening, it shows the event, location, and remaining time; between events, it counts down to the next one. The app reads calendars already configured on the phone, including iCloud, Google, Exchange, and Outlook, and supports the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, StandBy, Apple Watch, and CarPlay Live Activities where available. Its listing says calendar data stays on the device and the app never changes events. The free version supports one calendar; a one-time Pro purchase adds all calendars and meeting-join shortcuts, among other options.
