Build from calendar-shaped data
Lona gives developers a time-shaped model for events, tasks, stickers, formulas, context, and availability.
Get started1 surface for meetings, tasks, context, and availability
0 extra views to read before planning the day
Live availability from the calendar you actually use
Start from visible time
The calendar carries the model.
Events
Build on the same calendar your users read — events are real objects, not an opaque feed.
Rows
Time-shaped rows are the data model — query the week the way it's displayed.
Actions
Create, move, and book through the same actions the app uses, straight from your code.
Avoid calendar rework
Build on the surface users see.
No flat export
Skip the CSV round-trip — the sheet is the live source, not an export that drifts.
No hidden state
What the API writes is what the user sees that instant — no separate sync layer.
No custom scheduler
Availability and booking ship with the calendar, so you don't rebuild a scheduler.
Make the week easier to read
The value is a week you can read without opening every calendar event, task list, and notes tab.
| Lona | Alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Scattered planning Your week should be readable before you make the next decision. | [yes] Calendar, tasks, context, and availability stay on one live surface | Planning stack: [partial] Calendar, tasks, notes, and scheduling often live in separate tabs |
| Real availability Booking should come from the week you actually use. | [yes] Scheduling links use the same calendar context you plan from | Scheduling tools: [partial] Booking tools often drift from the work and context around the calendar |
| Readable week A better calendar should make important days stand out. | [yes] Rows, stickers, formulas, and actions keep meaning attached to the calendar | Dashboards and to-do apps: [no] Dashboards and task lists still make you piece the week together |
| Context where the day is The why behind a day should sit on the day, not in another tab. | [yes] Notes, links, and details stay attached to the event and the row | Notes and docs apps: [no] Context lives in a separate doc or notes app you forget to reopen |
| Numbers that update themselves Your week should reflect what already happened, automatically. | [yes] Google, Garmin, Whoop, and Weather land on the calendar on their own | Trackers and widgets: [partial] Trackers make you switch apps or retype the numbers by hand |
| Ask for a view, don't build one You should describe the week you want, not configure it. | [yes] Chat assembles the rows, filters, and layout from a plain request | Filters and saved views: [no] Filters and saved views still make you piece the layout together yourself |

Questions before trying Lona
- Is Lona replacing my calendar?
- No. Lona starts with the calendar you already use, then adds the tasks, stickers, rows, and availability context you want nearby.
- Why would I pay for this instead of using more free tools?
- Free tools can work until the week starts living in too many places. Lona keeps the calendar, tasks, stickers, rows, and availability context together so the week is easier to read.
- What should I try first?
- Connect your calendar, mark the week ahead, then add the tasks or rows that explain where the overload, openings, and decisions really are.
- Is there a mobile app?
- Lona runs in any modern browser today, and native iOS and Android apps are coming soon. In the meantime, you can keep using whatever calendar app you prefer on your phone — anything you add there shows up in Lona.
- Which calendars can I connect?
- Lona connects with Google Calendar today. Outlook, Apple Calendar, and more are coming soon.
