This update brings enhanced customization, smarter integrations, and new ways to interact with your tasks and schedule—whether on your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Apple officially launched iOS 18, marking another major step in mobile technology. With this release, 24me is introducing a significant update that takes full advantage of the new features and capabilities brought by iOS 18. This update further solidifies 24me’s status as a leading smart time management and productivity app by integrating cutting-edge functionalities tailored to enhance user experience. From personalized customization options to more intuitive workflows, the update ensures that users can effortlessly manage their schedules and tasks with greater precision and ease. 

What’s New in 24me for iOS 18?

With today’s release of 24me for iOS 18, GroupCal introduces several new exciting features:

24me Intelligence

Apple’s AI-powered intelligence is one of Apple’s top announcements as part of iOS 18. It delivers context-aware suggestions and actions across the iOS ecosystem. By analyzing user habits and preferences, it offers proactive recommendations and intuitive shortcuts, streamlining daily tasks for a more efficient and seamless experience.

Taking advantage of this major iOS 18 feature, 24me introduces 24me Intelligence, a smart AI feature that interprets what you type in real-time. As you create tasks, events, or reminders, 24me automatically identifies and sets the correct date, time, and location. The user interface now includes visual indicators, such as a glowing effect around the item title box when 24me Intelligence is active. As relevant details are recognized, the corresponding fields blink to confirm the updates. For example, when typing “Client call at 10am tomorrow,” 24me instantly configures the event without needing manual adjustments. This feature significantly boosts productivity, especially for busy users managing multiple tasks.

24me Controls

With iOS 18, third-party apps like 24me can integrate directly into the Control Center and Lock Screen, offering instant access to key functions. This integration lets you perform actions like checking off tasks or setting reminders without opening the app. You can customize which controls are accessible, ensuring that your most-used features are always at your fingertips. This update creates a more streamlined and efficient workflow, enhancing productivity and making everyday interactions faster.

With this new update, 24me now offers quick-access controls integrated into the iOS Control Center and Lock Screen. The first control allows you to launch 24me instantly from these locations, while the second control lets you start creating a new task or event directly, saving time and enhancing ease of use.

App Icon Customization

iOS 18 introduces new ways to customize the home screen by altering third-party app icons. This feature allows you to align your apps with your preferred aesthetic or home screen design. You can adjust icon sizes (large or small) and select from Light, Dark, and Tinted modes. This level of personalization gives you a distinctive way to make your device feel uniquely yours.

24me leverages this enhanced customization capability, and offers the ability to customize app icons. Whether you prefer Light, Dark, or Tinted mode, 24me offers multiple options to match your device’s look and feel. This feature not only enhances the visual appeal of your home screen but also aligns 24me’s appearance with your personal style.

Apple Watch – Interactive Widget

iOS 18 brings interactive widgets to the Apple Watch, allowing users to take action directly from their watch face. This enhancement makes it easier to manage tasks and schedules on the go, reducing the need to open apps for quick interactions. Whether it’s checking off a to-do item or setting a quick reminder, these widgets are designed to keep you productive from your wrist.

24me adopts this new functionality as part of today’s release. Stay productive on the go with interactive widgets on your Apple Watch – complete tasks directly from your watch face without even opening the app. All updates seamlessly sync with the 24me app on both your Watch and iOS device.

Conclusion

24me’s latest update, designed for iOS 18, offers a powerful set of tools to make managing your time more efficient and enjoyable. From the smart functionality of 24me Intelligence to quick-access controls and the ability to customize your app icon, these enhancements are all about boosting productivity and personalization.

We encourage all users to explore these new features and unlock the full potential of 24me—the ultimate digital assistant for iOS users looking to stay on top of their busy lives.

Streamline Back-to-School with 24me: Your Digital Planner

Today, we are announcing a new version of 24me, tailored for “Back to School”, with multiple new functionalities for students.

It’s back to school time and with that comes a whirlwind of challenges for students. Balancing multiple class schedules, assignments, extracurricular activities, and personal time are just some of the challenges that students have to deal with on a daily basis. 24me acts as your personal assistant – a sophisticated digital planner that helps you create a clear and updated schedule, and ensures you never miss your classes or assignments. With 24me, students can effortlessly organize their busy lives, manage their workload efficiently, and reduce the stress associated with a busy school schedule.

Let’s talk about which challenges 24me can help with.

Challenges for Students

Time Management

Students have to juggle numerous responsibilities, from attending classes and completing assignments to managing extracurricular activities and personal commitments. Typical calendar tools are often not best suited to manage both events, tasks and notes, leading students to use separate tools for different purposes, which is cumbersome and inefficient. This fragmented approach can result in missed deadlines and overlooked responsibilities. Developing strong time management skills is crucial for success, and a unified solution like 24me can help streamline this process by integrating schedules, tasks, and notes into one platform.

By integrating all of your schedules into one place, 24me makes it easier to manage classes, assignments, tasks, events, and notes. This digital planner/ assistant ensures that you no longer need to switch between different apps or calendars to stay on top of your responsibilities. For example, a student with a busy day made up of classes, a part-time job, and a club meeting wants to make it all work somehow: With 24me, students can effortlessly organize their busy lives and stay ahead of their responsibilities.

Procrastination and Forgetfulness

Traditional calendars often fall short because they primarily offer reminders for events, which is not sufficient for managing the complex array of tasks and notes students need to handle. The lack of comprehensive features makes it challenging for students to stay organized and prioritize their responsibilities effectively, leading to increased stress levels and missed deadlines. 

24me was built to tackle these types of challenges. It helps students stay on top of their responsibilities by offering multiple advanced features to ensure they never forget anything through the following features:

  • Time-Based Reminders: Notifications for classes, assignments, and events. With 24me, you can choose when to receive reminders for important upcoming events, ensuring you have enough time to prepare and get to your next class on time. 
  • Nagging Alerts: Persistent reminders for important assignments and tasks. Unlike regular reminders that only alert you once, 24me’s nagging alerts will continue popping up until you acknowledge and act on them. For instance, if you have a critical essay due, 24me will keep sending you reminders about it until you take action, ensuring you stay on track and don’t miss important due dates.
  • Procrastination Assistant: A smart feature that finds the best time during the day to remind you about past due tasks, helping you stay on top of your responsibilities. For example, if you’ve been putting off completing a tedious assignment, 24me will find a free slot in your schedule and remind you that you need to complete it during that time.
  • Location-Based Reminders: Part of our new update, location-based reminders are triggered based on your location, such as picking up supplies when near the bookstore or submitting a project when arriving to class. We will further cover this new feature in the next section of this article. 

Back to School: A Major Update from 24me

In the new update that we are releasing today across all platforms (iOS, Android, Computer/Web), 24me introduces new enhancements to help better organize schedules, classes, assignments, exams, and more. Here is a detailed overview about what we are announcing today:

Location-Based Reminders

24me mobile app – Location based reminders

This feature allows you to set reminders that trigger based on your location. You can choose whether the reminder activates when you are approaching or otherwise departing a location, and specify the distance at which it should trigger. This is useful for receiving a reminder to buy snacks when you’re near the campus convenience store or remembering to submit a project as soon as you arrive on campus. Location-based reminders ensure you don’t forget tasks tied to specific places, helping you be efficient with your time and stay on top of your responsibilities.

Seamless Photo Attachment to Notes

24me’s improved photo attachment feature allows you to capture assignments and important information on the go. Snap a picture of a whiteboard or assignment sheet with your mobile device, and it will be immediately accessible across all your devices. 24me works perfectly as a digital planner for students who need to capture and access information quickly and efficiently.

Enhanced Lists and Subtasks

With 24me, you can add subtasks to events, turning to-do lists into dynamic and manageable plans. This is great for working on projects, as you can break the project down and work on it step-by-step. Additionally, organizing tasks with labels allows you to sort them into different categories based on classes or activities. You can color code each class, making it easy to maintain organization and understand which classes need to be your top priority. For example, in group projects, you can create subtasks for each team member’s responsibilities, ensuring that all parts of the project are efficiently completed on time.

Organizing Tasks with Labels

Organizing tasks with labels in 24me helps you stay organized by allowing you to sort tasks into different categories and projects based on classes or activities. This feature enables you to color code each class, making it easy to see at a glance which tasks belong to which class. In the context of back to school, you can use labels to maintain organization and prioritize your workload effectively. By understanding which classes need your top attention, you can manage your time better and ensure you stay on top of all your responsibilities.

Cross Platform Compatibility 

24me is available on web, iOS, and Android, ensuring that you have access to your schedules and tasks across all your devices. This cross-platform compatibility means you can seamlessly switch between devices without missing a beat. Whether you’re checking your schedule on your Mac in the morning, getting reminders on your iPhone throughout the day, or reviewing your tasks on your Android tablet in the evening, 24me keeps everything synchronized.

Conclusion

As the new school year begins, 24me is here to help you tackle the challenges of back-to-school time. With features like integrated schedules, advanced reminders, location-based alerts, seamless photo attachments, and enhanced lists with subtasks, 24me ensures you stay organized, manage your time effectively, and never miss an important task.

How 24me Helps Organizing Your Life

Managing life can be tedious. We are bombarded with all types of notifications and information  from emails to text messages, phone calls and other things that pop up and need our attention. It’s hard to keep track of what’s been done or what needs to get done. 24me is a personal assistant on the go which organizes the clutter. It’s one place to manage all calendars, to do lists, notes and personal reminders, and keeps you on top of things. Here’s how you can use it to get your life back in order.

Events, tasks and notes all in one place

24me keeps all of your stuff in one place, and eliminates the need to switch between multiple apps to get a sense of your schedule. It holds together all your calendar events from your different calendars, your to-dos, and all of your notes. Tasks with due dates will appear on the calendar at the right time, so that you will have a holistic view of your schedule.

Multiple calendar views allows for seeing your schedule ahead of time

24me is one of the easiest ways to keep track of all the moving parts in your life, from meetings to attend to birthday celebrations. The default view on iPads is ‘Week view’ and on iPhones it is ‘List view’. Sometimes you want to check on things further out in your schedule, so you may want to change your calendar view. 24me has five different calendar views so you can check out what’s coming up in the next month, week, 3-Days, day with the option of viewing it as a list. You can also see your schedule as a landscape week view. To return to today’s date, tap on the calendar icon on the top bar and it will bring you back to today’s date.

Syncs across all devices

With 24me, you can sync between your mobile phone, tablet, iPad, M1 laptops and even your Apple Watch. This allows access to your events, tasks and notes fro, everywhere, keeping you on top of your schedule anytime everywhere. Agenda for tomorrow / agenda for today

Since 24me acts as an assistant, it helps make sure you will know what’s coming up next. That’s why one of 24me’s favorite features by our users is the ‘Daily Agenda’. This is a customizable feature which lets you set the right time to get a special notification the night before and the day of, with a snippet of your schedule – when does your first meeting that day starts, how many meetings and tasks you have for that day.  

Share events, tasks and notes with the people around you

There are tasks and assignments you need to collaborate with a team or a group of people. 24me has a special option, specifically for this instance:  share tasks with a group of people, like a grocery list shared with your spouse, an assignment shared with your team classes or a shared activity for a group of friends. You can also share notes and of course events. All the data on the task/note will be synced in real time between all participants. 

Complete your tasks with automatic completion buttons

24me enables flexibility in scheduling tasks ahead of time. You can prepare a text message to be scheduled, an email that you want to be sent or anything else which is time sensitive.  Simply add a call, text or an email task to 24me, insert the text content, define the time of reminder and when the time comes, with the simple tap of a button , the email or text will be sent or the call will be made. Same goes with scheduling reminders for payments, booking hotels or sending gifts for special occasions (this specific feature is only available in the USA).

Procrastination fighter – helps manage time well

We all have some procrastination issues we need to work through and sometimes we just need a little “push” to complete things on our lists or finish tedious tasks. With 24me‘s procrastination fighter, you’ll be able to tackle those procrastination issues head-on, and get your life back on track so that you can be comfortable with your time. The procrastination fighter sends you notifications to let you know you have a free slot on your schedule, so you can complete your overdue tasks at that time. 

Labels 

We all know that having many tasks can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve added the ability to add labels to tasks. This way you can organize each of the tasks under a specific label. When you need to look for your school related tasks, simply look under the school label. 

On the 24me task screen, you can choose to see tasks per time or per label. All tasks will be sorted into different buckets of labels. You can also categorize tasks into multiple labels, for example, ‘Buy groceries’ can be labeled with: ‘household errands’, and ‘shoppings’. Once you are using the Label mode on the Tasks screen, you will see that task under both those labels. This is a perfect way to organize your to-do lists and tasks.

Managing time is key for stress-free life. Being on top of things helps you complete tasks thoroughly and stay focused. 24me can help you manage your life throughout your time at school. It holds all your schedules, assignments, to-do lists and notes in one place  and allows you to dedicate the right time for the most important things in life. 24me is an all in one app, which provides calendars, to-do list, notes and personal reminders with lots of smart features that help, you won’t forget a thing and complete tasks on time. 

Here’s a step by step for how you can start the year off right, and get organized from beginning to end:

  1. Your schedule: before you start the academic year, we highly encourage you to put all your schedules on 24me. Take some time to see your curriculum, including where your classes are located, and put all your information into 24me’s calendar. You can create repeated events for classes and make sure to define the time for your reminders. Having all your schedule in place is a key for a great fresh start!
  1. Homework and assignments – usually when the year starts, each class has its own assignments and homework. The professors tend to send a list of assignments for the upcoming semester. We recommend that you put all assignments and homework as calendar events on 24me’s calendar. This way you are 100% aware of what’s coming up next, and can manage your time like a pro. We suggest you put the first reminder for an assignment at least two days before the due date, and on the day of submission as well. This is how you won’t leave anything to the last moment. 
  2. Time to study – Studying is an essential factor if you want to succeed in school. Our recommendation is to block time for studying. This will allow you to focus and procrastinate less, and make time for other things in life – like social events and hobbies. When things are on your calendar, the probability for making things right is much higher. Exam period can also be hectic, which is why we suggest planning ahead using 24me and organizing your schedule to ensure you have enough time to study for finals.
  3. Sports – A vital part of our lives is sports to ensure we stay healthy and active. However, typically during the school year, we get busy and begin to neglect our health and sports. This is where 24me comes in handy. Blocking off chunks of time catered for sports on your calendar can help immensely with sticking to your plans. 
  4. Social life – Balancing schools, sports and a social life is never easy, especially in college. With 24me you can plan ahead and put your upcoming sorority/frat events and gatherings in your schedule on 24me. It doesn’t stop there, we advise you to plan ahead with any event:school related, family and friends.
  5. Family – Family is very important, which is why holidays are crucial when you’re away at college, however going back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas can be hectic. Plan out your days and family gatherings using 24me. All your necessary information can be stored on 24me, for example your packing list for thanksgiving travel. In addition to that, you can keep your Christmas gift shopping list hidden and locked on your 24me app
  6. Errands and tasks – Chores and errands can be tedious and boring, but we have to get them done. Write them down in your schedule to fully dedicate time for your chores. Instead of writing down the same chore every week (“Clean my room”), you can create repeated tasks on 24me, making it even easier to organize. Even grocery lists can be added to your bundle of activities on 24me. Tasks can also be sorted to different buckets of labels. See more info below under “Label Tasks”. 
  • Free style memos – 24me notes is a perfect solution to write down action items from a group assignment, which can be also shared with the members of the group. Everyone will be updated with what tasks they have to do for the project with this feature. Not only is it good for projects, but it’s also perfect for saving your favorite recipes and even keeping your treasured pictures and memories in place.

Special Features

There are lots of special features and capabilities in 24me which will help you stay organized and complete your stuff on time:

  1. Procrastination fighter  – Let’s face it, we all have some procrastination issues we need to work through. We’ve got your back! With 24me’s procrastination fighter feature, you’ll be able to tackle those procrastination issues head-on, and get your life back on track so that you can feel confident heading into the new school year. The procrastination fighter sends you notifications to let you know you have a free spot on your schedule, so you can complete your overdue tasks at that time.
  2. Agenda for today – 24me  sends a customized notification that reminds you of your tasks and events for the day. You can set the time you want to receive the notification. This is a perfect way to start the day and ensure you don’t forget anything. 
  3. Agenda for tomorrow – If you want to be a head of things, the ‘agenda for tomorrow’ is especially for you. 24me sends  a notification reminding you what events and tasks you have for tomorrow. You have the ability to change the time of receiving the notification. This is how you’ll keep yourself aware of events and task happening tomorrow and get ready for that ahead of time. 
  4. Completion button for tasks – The completion of tasks has never been easier. Creating a task with the words “call/text/email…” will automatically create a task that will be completed with the tap of a  button. For text or email tasks, you can even put the content of the text message or the email, schedule the time you want the reminder and when it pops, the text message or email will be sent with a tap on the task’s completion button.
  1. 24me keeper – Do you keep losing recipes, or forgetting to read articles? 24me Keeper allows you to save any article or recipe you’d like and even schedule a time to read it. That way, you’ll never forget to read another article for class again. 
  2. Label tasks – Having many tasks can be overwhelming, which is why we created in app labels. This allows you to label different tasks, for example, exam/homework/project etc. which gives you the ability to easily distinguish between the categories. 
  1. Widgets – To make 24me even more convenient, you can add 24me to your widgets. This allows you to be more efficient and makes viewing your to-do list so much easier. 

With 24me you can plan out your schedule by blocking time for studying, sports practice, or hanging out with friends and family. And if something comes up at the last minute? No worries! Just add it in at the last minute — 24me will keep track of your schedule so nothing slips through the cracks. 24me is just like having your own personal assistant right on your phone, tablet and even laptop! 

Wishing you a successful academic year! ?‍??‍?
