What iPhone planner features does Composed have?
Composed is a voice-first iPhone planner with AI prep tasks, screenshot import, place discovery via Apple Maps, real-time departure tracking, three-layer smart reminders, shared events with link RSVP, and two-way sync with Apple Calendar and Google Calendar. The free tier covers 5 events; calendar-synced events don't count against it. Every feature below exists to reduce friction — nothing is decorative.
AI-Powered Prep Tasks
Composed automatically generates the prep work behind every event — so you walk in ready, not scrambling.
Departure Tracking
Composed calculates when you need to leave — factoring in travel time, prep, and buffer — so you arrive calm, not rushed.
Flight Intelligence
Snap your flight confirmation and Composed builds the pre-flight timeline — check-in reminder, airport buffer, and when to leave. Always confirm times and gate with your airline.
Shared Events
Share events with anyone — they see the plan, RSVP, and get reminders. No app download required for guests.
Smart 3-Layer Reminders
Gentle awareness when things are far away. Clear nudges when they're close. No guilt, no overdue shame — just gentle, well-timed reminders.
Voice Input
Just say what's happening. Composed turns your words into events, tasks, or notes — structured with dates, prep tasks, and reminders — in seconds.
Place Discovery
Add an event like 'Dinner Saturday' and Composed finds the right spot near you — ranked by relevance and rating, not just distance.
Occasions
Birthdays and anniversaries live in their own calm card — separate from your obligation timeline. Composed remembers, so you don't have to.
Leave on Time — The When-to-Leave App for iPhone
Composed tells you when to actually leave, not when the event starts. Real-time Apple Maps traffic, 120/180-minute airport buffer for flights, and a notification that fires at the right minute — not the wrong one.
Screenshot to Calendar Event — Composed's AI Screenshot Import
Take a screenshot of any flight confirmation, hotel booking, event poster, restaurant reservation, or recipe with a cook time. Composed extracts the event, time, location, and prep tasks automatically using Claude AI.
Friction reduction, as a feature
Every feature in Composed exists to remove a specific friction, and the features connect to each other. The hub is organized that way deliberately — not by category (capture / reminders / sync) but by the friction each one addresses. Voice input removes capture friction. AI prep tasks remove the remembering-what-to-bring friction. Departure tracking removes the leaving-on-time friction. Calendar import removes the double-entry friction. Shared events remove the coordination friction. Screenshot import removes the manual-typing-from-an-image friction. Each one is small. Together they cover the boring middle of planning that most apps leave for the user.
The philosophy is friction-reduction-as-feature. A planner app could have a hundred features and still feel exhausting if each one adds a step. Composed tries to add capability without adding steps. Voice input does not require unlocking a menu — you tap, you speak, the event appears. AI prep tasks do not require you to ask — they generate automatically when the event is created. Departure tracking does not require you to enable it per event — it recalculates every time you open the app within an eight-hour window. The features earn their place by removing work, not by giving you more controls.
The connections matter as much as the individual features. Voice input lands you at a structured event with date, time, location, and notes. That structured event triggers AI prep task generation, which produces a three-to-five-item checklist tailored to the event type. The location you spoke gets resolved through Apple Maps and feeds departure tracking, which calculates real travel time and tells you when to leave. The graduated reminder system uses the same data to surface gentle awareness pings at long horizons, action nudges within seven days, and precise departure-timing reminders inside twenty-four hours. One voice sentence — "Dentist Tuesday at 2pm on Main Street" — flows through six systems without you touching any of them again.
The connections are why the feature list reads short. Composed is not trying to compete on the number of capabilities — it is trying to compete on the number of steps removed. The right metric is "how many of the boring middle tasks of planning does this handle automatically," and the answer is most of them. The hub walks through each feature with that lens: what friction it removes, how it connects to the others, and what it deliberately does not do.
How voice input changes the capture step
Voice input is the most-used feature in Composed and the one most apps in the category get wrong. The friction it removes is the gap between "I just remembered" and "it is safely in a system." Typed input adds steps that compound: unlock, open, tap a field, type, tap a date picker, scroll to the right date, tap a time picker, scroll to the right time, save. Voice collapses that to: tap, speak a sentence, see the structured event appear. The parser extracts date, time, location, and notes from natural language. You do not need to phrase it carefully — "Dentist Tuesday at 2pm on Main Street" works as well as a formal sentence.
Why AI prep tasks change what an event is
Without prep tasks, an event is a slot on a calendar. With prep tasks, an event is a slot plus a small, contextual checklist that captures the working-memory step most planners ignore. A dentist appointment generates "Bring insurance card, list any concerns, confirm parking." A flight event generates "Verify passport valid 6+ months, check baggage allowance, confirm seat." A dinner reservation generates whatever the event type calls for. The checklist is generated automatically at event creation — you do not ask for it. A readiness score tracks completion. The friction removed is the cognitive load of remembering what each kind of event requires.
How the features connect into one flow
The most important property of Composed's feature set is that the features compose. One voice sentence creates a structured event. That event triggers prep-task generation. The location feeds departure tracking. The date and time feed the three-layer reminder system. If it is a flight, the flight intelligence layer adds phase-aware timeline cards and the airport buffer. If it is shared, the shared-events layer generates a link with RSVP. The user does not orchestrate these connections — they happen as a side effect of capturing the event. The number of steps from "I just remembered" to "I am prepared and on time" is one, not seven.
Composed features — frequently asked
What does Composed's voice input actually understand?
Composed parses natural-language sentences into structured events with date, time, location, and notes. "Dentist Tuesday at 2pm on Main Street" produces an event titled "Dentist," dated next Tuesday, timed to 2pm, located on Main Street, with prep tasks generated automatically. You do not need to phrase it carefully — the parser handles ordinary speech, including imprecise references like "next Friday" or "tomorrow morning." Nearby venue names from Apple Maps help disambiguate locations. Voice input does not control the app itself (there are no "mark dentist as done" voice commands), and it does not listen continuously — you tap to start, speak, and the structured event appears in the timeline.
Are Composed's AI prep tasks just a generic checklist?
No. Prep tasks are generated based on the event type and context, not pulled from a generic template. A dentist appointment gets dental-specific tasks. A flight event gets flight-specific tasks like passport validity and baggage allowance. A dinner reservation gets the relevant details for that kind of event. The list runs three to five items plus a few read-only informational tips. Tasks are checkable; tips are not. A readiness score (0 to 100 percent) tracks your preparation progress for each event. Prep tasks generate automatically when the event is created, so you do not have to remember to ask.
How does Composed know when to tell me to leave?
Composed calculates real travel time from your current location to the event using Apple MapKit, adds a buffer, and works backwards from the event start time to produce a leave-by time. For events within eight hours, it recalculates every time you open the app, so changing traffic gets reflected. Domestic flights get a two-hour airport buffer; international flights get three hours. Leave-by reminders fire as part of the three-layer reminder system, so you get a precise notification when it is time to go. If location permission is denied, the calculation falls back to distance-based estimates rather than disabling the feature.
What features does Composed deliberately not have?
Composed is a preparation layer, not a calendar or task manager replacement. It does not have Kanban boards, project hierarchies with multi-level subtasks, priority levels, tags, team task assignment, expense tracking, group chat inside events, poll-based scheduling, or live flight status (flight data is static after creation). It does not have an Android app, a web app, or a desktop app — iOS only. The feature list is deliberately short because each feature is supposed to compose with the others, and adding capabilities that do not fit the composition would dilute the core experience.
