Hey folks —
If you use Apple Calendar or Reminders, but often skip planning because it’s too much work, I get it.
I built Trace, an AI-powered calendar app, because I wanted something that would make scheduling feel like texting — not filling out forms.
Available on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, Trace turns your entire Apple ecosystem into a smarter scheduling assistant.
One thing I find super useful is the iPhone Action Button + Shortcuts combo. I’ll screenshot whatever I’m looking at, tap the button, and it just becomes a calendar event. No forms, no typing.
(The gif below is from the iOS version, since the Mac demo file was too large.)
The chat feature is still in beta — but growing quickly.
Trace isn’t a general-purpose AI.
It’s built for one thing: knowing how you plan, and doing it better with you.
I launched it quietly in South Korea first — now it’s live globally.
If anyone here feels the same way about planning being too much work, would love to hear what you think.

✨ What it actually does
- Type. Speak. Screenshot.
Add your schedule in any way that’s easiest. Just say “meeting after lunch with Eric” or screenshot a timetable—Trace figures it out. - Tap once. Schedule instantly.
With one tap of the side button, you can register any screen content as an event. No form-filling. No manual input. - Let it think for you.
Its AI assistant suggests buffer times, detects collisions, and even nudges you when you’re overbooking too late into the night. - Works with your real Apple life.
Trace syncs with iCloud Calendar, Reminders, Google Calendar and even supports Shortcuts automations.
