Introduction to 24me

Calendar as a personal assistant

Calendars are an integral part of our lives. In the earliest times, human beings calculated time by observing the periods of light and darkness that alternated continuously. These days everyone is using a calendar, whether you are a busy individual, juggling a family with kids or just need to keep your head on top of things — a digital calendar is the solution. But there are several major problems with the current offering of calendars — most of them are just a digital representation of pen and paper. They are static, and don’t fit the current dynamic modern lifestyle. And usually — you need to work for your calendar and it doesn’t work for you. At times when people are overwhelmed with data, deal with way more things than they used to — there is a huge need for an assistant that will guide them throughout the day.

This is why we are focused on developing the best personal assistant experience. Since most of the data about time: like events, tasks and other related information relevant to the schedule, is based in calendars, we decided that building a personal assistant on top of a calendar would be the best way to save people time. As busy individuals ourselves we understand how demanding modern life is, and how difficult it is to juggle between your career and your family life. The concept behind 24me is to provide one place to manage your schedule, and to automatically complete your tasks and errands, and that sets 24me apart from other calendar apps.

As a team of geeks and designers, who think about every little element, we came up with 24me, and we have been named App Store Best of 2014’ by Apple.

What you get when you download 24me

One place for all your calendars, Tasks, Notes and Personal Accounts

The New 24me: Our Biggest Creation Yet!

We are excited to release “The New 24me“, which is available now on the App Store for you to downloadThis is by far, our most advanced version to date.

Here’s What You Get When You Download The New 24me:

  • New Design: We have completely upgraded 24me with a whole new design, with beautiful thin icons. And we are excited to bring a little feminism to the “invite” icons. As a company who promotes gender equality, we decided that this is how our new invite icon is going to look:

  • Upgrades To Time Management:
    • Second reminder – You can now add another reminder to any task, note, or calendar event.
    • Choose between 1 and 5 minutes interval for reminders and events time.
    • Set any reminder time that you choose instead of the default ‘x time before’.
  • Single Touch Conference Call Dialing – We know how busy you are, and it’s always that call, that starts when you’re on the go. Having to remember the dial-in number and the passcode to register is pretty time intensive and rather inconvenient when on the road. For that we have added Automatic code dialing – allowing you to add the conference call and the passcode number on the meeting, making it easier to manage conference calls.  How to do it? pretty easy: in the location tab of the meeting put the conference call number, add comma and add the passcode number.

Conference calls

 

  • Import Contact Addresses Into Meeting: It’s now easier to schedule meetings with your contacts. Once choosing your contact, 24me will ask whether  you want to use your contact’s address.

Tips To Get You Started With 24me

24me is your smart personal assistant that unifies calendar, to-do list, notes and personal accounts. It helps you manage your schedule and keeps you on top of things: it automatically tells you what’s coming up next and provides with personalized notifications to keep you on top of things and saves time so you could focus on the things that matter most.

Here are a few tips to get you started with 24me and that will help you be more productive during your day.  

1. Calendar Views

To help you better navigate throughout the day, 24me has three different views for the calendar, so it will be easier for you to see the day in either List view, Day view or Month view. Here is how to do it:

Month View

You can see a full month view just by pulling the dates bar down and expand it into a full month from the top bar.

List View and Day View

List view is the default view of 24me once you download it from the App Store. List view mode enables to see all your events, tasks and notes outlined as a list.

img2

To switch between List view to Day view simply tap on the menu bar (top left) and easily switch from list view to day view tapping on the top right of the menu.

If you switch to day view you will see your entire day on a calendar timeline. 24me presents each item in a different color: tasks in orange, notes in yellow, and meetings in blue.

24me as an alternative to Sunrise Calendar

Last week, Sunrise officially announced that their calendar app will be removed from the app stores, and officially shut down the app and it will stop working all together on August 31st. This is truly sad news, especially because Sunrise was one of the first calendar apps to provide users with a better calendar experience. The very design oriented Sunrise team, was facing a challenging problem, and with a lot of attention to the details –  they managed to build a very beautiful and simplified calendar. As developers of a Calendar app ourselves, we truly appreciate the work and efforts the Sunrise team has done. Their product was unique and provided a great design and experience.

How To Keep Your New Year’s Resolution

shutterstock_121243186

“I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do – the day after.” ― Oscar Wilde

Identify with this quote? This is the right place for you! Come and learn how to fight one of the biggest problems that plagues every one of us.

The art of procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference of more urgent ones. It could even be doing more pleasurable things in place of less desirable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time or, the “last minute” before the deadline.

How does it affect our lives? And why is it one of the best ways to ensure failure, or at least sabotage our level of success? Research show that procrastination makes people feel weak, useless, and helpless. In addition, 1 in 5 people procrastinate so badly that it may be jeopardizing their jobs, their credit, their relationships and even their health. According to Pies Steel, a human resources professor at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business, 95% of the population procrastinates at times, with 20% being chronic offenders. As it is shown, every one of us procrastinate at some point in our lives but we have some very good news! We can help you fight it and overcome it by adopting some simple steps. First of all, be honest, admit you have a problem and REALIZE that you procrastinate. The second step is to figure out WHY you procrastinate. The third step is where we come into the picture! Ready to overcome procrastination and get things done, not tomorrow, but today? 24me has the perfect solution waiting just for you!

1. Procrastination Fighter

With the new year knocking on our doors, everyone is making their own New Year’s resolution. Here is a great way to keep it: 24me’s “Procrastination Fighter” – a smart algorithm that fights procrastination by learning the user’s behavior, looking for open slots in the calendar, and kicking butt by sending a notification with the right time to complete overdue tasks. Procrastination Fighter is one of many features that will help you stay on top of things in 2016.

As one stop shop for daily life management, 24me offers one place to manage all your meetings, to-do’s, notes and personal accounts in one place. With advanced features for time management like recurring events, reminders, automatic tasks, syncing with personal accounts, and personalized notifications – 24me makes sure you will always be on top of things.
