Jiffies is a unique calendar app with functionality that looks ahead with full support for the Apple Watch.
Jiffies calls itself “an event-clock”, and that’s a great way to describe the app’s functionality. Unlike most calendar apps, in Jiffies you get an daily overview of your calendar events that is much easier to absorb: what Jiffies does is lays out your events in two concentric circles that represent the 24 hours in a day, with each circle representing the 12 hours you’ll find on a clock face. Your events are laid out on the circles with color-coded line segments, with the colors corresponding to your calendar’s settings, and the position and length of the line segment matching the time and duration of the event. Tap the arrows above the clock to view the previous or next day.
Jiffies puts event details below the event clock, where you can find the event name, time, and duration, and you can tap on each event to reach options to open the event listing, duplicate, or share. The app includes a night view that darkens the interface to make it easier on your eyes in low light. Rotate Jiffies and you will find a very useful week view with both an event clock and list for each day of the current week.
Jiffies’ party piece, however, is that it supports the upcoming Apple Watch. You get the same useful daily view on your Apple Watch as you will find in the iOS app. You’ll be able to swipe horizontally to move through subsequent days, and swipe down to view the details of each day’s events. Once the Apple Watch is released, Jiffies will be ready to give you an at-a-glance view of your day’s calendar events.
