Google acquires Timeful time management iOS app to improve Gmail, Calendar, & more

Google today announced that it’s acquiring Timeful Inc, the company behind the Timeful app that offers a central location for time management, calendar functions, to-do list and scheduling features.

While the company confirmed that you will be able to continue downloading the Timeful app from the App Store— the app is iOS only— it also said that it will focus “the team’s attention will be on new projects at Google.” That means the Timeful team will begin implementing features of Timeful into Google apps, the company confirmed. 

Prior to the acquisition, the company was taking sign-ups for an upcoming Android beta, but it hadn’t officially launched Android support.

The Timeful team has built an impressive system that helps you organize your life by understanding your schedule, habits and needs. You can tell Timeful you want to exercise three times a week or that you need to call the bank by next Tuesday, and their system will make sure you get it done based on an understanding of both your schedule and your priorities. 

In its own announcement, Google noted that Timeful’s technology will help improve products like Gmail, Inbox, Calendar and more.

    Big, monopolistic companies tend to ruin your day – most of the time!
