Help & Documentation

Last updated: 24 July 2026

Soona is a calendar utility for iPhone and Apple Watch. It reads the calendars you already use (iCloud, Google, Outlook, Exchange), and surfaces only the events that match views you define. Every match comes with a live countdown, on screen, in widgets, and on your wrist.

Soona does not replace Apple Calendar. Your events stay where they are. Soona brings what matters into focus and shows how soon it’s happening.
