Readdle has announced that its popular Calendars 5 app has reached the end of the road. After more than a decade of the legacy calendar app, the developer’s free/subscription-based Calendars: Planner & Organizer will take the spotlight.
Readdle shared the news in a blog post today:
Today, we share an important milestone in the evolution of Readdle’s journey. Our commitment to improving your time-management experience has led us to a key decision: the sunset of Calendars 5.
This move isn’t just about closing a chapter; it’s also about starting a new one as we aim to simplify and enhance our users’ experience with the planner app, Calendars. We’re transitioning away from Calendars 5 to focus on this unified approach.
Readdle’s VP of consumer Apps, Dmytro Protserov shared a message to Calendars 5 users and commented on the vision for Calendars:
We’re excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are deeply committed to supporting our users through this transition and beyond. “We’re not just focused on incorporating advanced AI technologies; our goal is to enhance the user experience while keeping the essence of what makes our product uniquely human. We envision our app not merely as a tool but as a supportive companion that truly understands and addresses the fundamental aspects of time management for our users,” emphasizes Dmytro Protserov.

And that’s a why i stick to the stock Apple calendar despite its barebones nature.
Readdle didn’t share specifics about the process of customers going from Calendars 5 to Calendars but said: “We’re committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our Calendars 5 users to our new app, taking care to preserve what made Calendars 5 so valuable to you.”
