Kairoscope
Your day as a circle you can actually feel.
A calendar that protects your energy, not just your time. Built for neurodivergent brains: see the shape of your day at a glance, plan by voice, recover on time.

The problem
Every calendar shows when.
None care what it does to you.
Kairoscope is a day-planner app for iPhone, Android and the browser that shows the day as a single circle instead of a list of rows.
☰
Lists hide the shape of your day
A wall of rows won’t show that your day is wall-to-wall meetings with no room until 9pm.
🔋
Busy ≠ sustainable
“Free” on paper, running on empty in reality. Without recovery, that’s how burnout creeps in.
🔔
Reminders nag, they don’t help
A buzz 10 min out won’t pull you out of deep focus. It just adds guilt.
⌨️
Planning is friction
Title, date, time, duration… for a 2-minute task. Most things never make it into the calendar.
The big idea
Dayring: your whole day as one living circle
Dayring is the main screen of Kairoscope: every event becomes a sector of a 12- or 24-hour circle, with a live “now” line sweeping across it.
🕐
See it, don’t read it
One glance and you feel where it’s dense, where it’s open, what’s next.
⚡
Plan by touch
Tap an empty spot on the dial to create an event, drag an arc to move it. A live “now” line sweeps across the day.
🗓️
Texture in every view
A mini-circle on every day of the month, so even the overview shows the shape of a day. 12h or 24h, your rhythm.
⏳
Time you can see, not compute
The event you are in drains in real time: the spent part dims, what is left stays bright. Focus mode shows it as a shrinking wedge.
🧷
“After X → do Y”
A reminder anchored to another event ending, not to a clock time. Move the event and the reminder moves with it. Five minutes before it ends, you hear what to wrap up and what comes next.
Energy-aware
It knows how heavy your day is, and helps you recover
Kairoscope scores a fatigue index from 0 to 100 out of booked time, draining and social events, how fragmented the day is, and how much rest is scheduled.
❤️🩹
A fatigue index (0–100)
From time, social load, fragmentation, and how much rest you actually scheduled.
🌿
Recovery, suggested
When the day is heavy, it proposes evening recovery from a curated list and your own ideas.
🌙
“Wind-down”
A show, a game, deep work: a gentle cue to land softly instead of yanking you out. Solves “just one more episode” at 1am.
🥄
A budget for energy, not just time
Give events or categories a cost in “spoons” and set a daily budget. A draining ring sits in the centre of the dial. The morning check warns you when the day you planned costs more than you have.
🔥
See the load before you live it
A week and month heatmap tints every day by how booked it already is. Plus “lifts & drains”: over time you see which commitments give you resource and which take it.
Kairoscope is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and is not a substitute for professional care.
AI assistant
Just ask, and the day arranges itself
The Kairoscope AI assistant works only with the user’s real events and real free slots, turns on after explicit consent, and applies no action without confirmation.
Plan by voice, schedule in a tap, confirm changes with a card. The assistant works with your real events and slots. It never makes things up.

Chat assistant

Shared free windows:

🎙️
Voice and planning
- Say “gym tomorrow at 7” and AI builds the full event
- Speech recognition in quick-add, backlog and chat
- Jot a loose to-do, tap ✨, and get real free slots, never double-booked
Day check: spots overlaps and overload, quietly and only when there’s a real problem, then gently suggests what to move.

Evidence base
Every feature rests on something, and we show you what
Kairoscope names the research behind each key feature inside the app itself, with a link, and marks separately where the evidence runs out.
None of this was built on a hunch. Each feature has research behind it, named inside the app, with a link you can check.
⏳ Living dial
Impaired time perception is a consistent feature of ADHD (meta-analyses). A visible remainder measurably lowers pre-task anxiety.
🧷 “After X → Y”
The implementation-intention format: a medium effect on following through, replicated in ADHD specifically.
🥄 Energy budget
Pacing is the core self-management strategy recommended by the NICE guideline for ME/CFS.
🔤 Spacing, not a font
Wider letter spacing speeds reading; dyslexia-specific fonts show no consistent advantage.
The full list with sources is in the app, under “Evidence”. It is also where we say plainly where the evidence stops: a quarter of the entries carry a note marking exactly where the data ends and our design judgement begins.
Who it’s for
For people who feel their days
Kairoscope is built for people whose day does not fit in a list: ADHD and autism, a tendency to burn out, back-to-back meetings, planning shared with a family or a team.
ADHD and autism
Structure that never shames: visual, gentle, forgiving of a missed day.
Burnout-prone
Want a planner that protects recovery time instead of only filling it.
ICs and founders
Drowning in meetings, wanting to see and cap their load.
Families and teams
Coordinate without over-sharing.
Questions and answers
What people usually ask about Kairoscope
What is the Dayring?
The Dayring is the main screen of Kairoscope, where the whole day is shown as one circle, in 12-hour or 24-hour form. Every event is a sector, not a row in a list. A live “now” line moves in real time, and the event you are in splits on the dial itself into the part already spent and the part still left. Tap an empty spot on the circle to create an event; drag an arc to move it.
How is Kairoscope different from a normal calendar?
A normal calendar shows when something happens. Kairoscope adds a reading of the load: how much time is booked, how much of it is draining and social, how fragmented the day is, and how much rest is scheduled in it. That is why two days with the same number of booked hours can get a different fatigue index.
How does the 0–100 fatigue index work?
The fatigue index is computed on the server by a transparent weighted formula, with no AI. Booked time, draining events, social time and the number of events push the number up; scheduled rest pulls it down. The result is a figure from 0 to 100 and a level from light to intense, visible before the day has started. Kairoscope is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and is not a substitute for professional care.
Can I plan by voice or with AI?
Yes. Kairoscope takes voice — speech recognition works in quick-add, the backlog, the braindump and the chat — and has a chat assistant that creates, edits, reschedules and shares events. Overlaps and free slots are computed by the server; the AI only phrases and proposes. AI features stay off until you consent in your profile, and no action is applied without your confirmation.
What is an “after X → do Y” reminder?
It is a reminder anchored to another event ending rather than to a clock time. Move the anchor event and the reminder moves with it. Five minutes before it ends, the app tells you what to wrap up and what comes next.
Can I share my schedule with friends?
Yes, in three different ways. A collaborative event lands in your friend’s calendar together with reminders. Info-only shows that you are busy, without reminders. Helper mode lets a friend suggest events for your day — they become real only once you accept them. Backlog tasks can be shared the same way, one task or a whole category, and friends can be put into groups.
Is Kairoscope free?
Kairoscope is free to download on both the App Store and Google Play, and everyday planning is free. A Kairoscope Premium subscription unlocks, among other things, day templates, external calendar import, a home address with the “leave by” prompt, and file attachments on events. The price and terms are shown in the app before purchase; they depend on your country.
Which devices does Kairoscope run on?
On an iPhone with iOS 16.4 or later, on Android 8.0 or later, and in the browser: the web version runs as a PWA with push notifications and an offline shell. The interface is available in Ukrainian, English, Spanish and French.
Does Kairoscope have an emotion diary and medication reminders?
Yes, and both features are optional. Diary entries exist only when you write them, and medication reminders stay off until you turn them on. Diary notes and medication names are stored encrypted, and diary entries go to AI only after separate explicit consent. Kairoscope is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and is not a substitute for professional care.
