New: Recurring Appointments, a Calendar View, and Spreadsheet Export
Announcing three new features for managing ongoing care: create repeating appointment series in one step, see your whole month at a glance with the new calendar view, and export appointments to a spreadsheet.
Some appointments don't happen once. Physical therapy runs twice a week for two months. Allergy shots are every other week. Mom's INR check is monthly. Until now, entering those meant typing the same appointment over and over - and our users told us exactly how that felt.
Today we're releasing three features built around ongoing care: recurring appointments, a calendar view, and spreadsheet export. Here's what each one does and how to start using it.
Recurring Appointments: Enter a Series Once
When you create an appointment, you'll now see a Repeat option in the form. Choose how often the appointment repeats and how many visits are in the series, and the app creates every appointment for you in one step.
Repeat options:
- Daily - for short intensive treatments
- Weekly - the classic physical therapy schedule
- Every 2 weeks - common for injections and counseling
- Monthly - checkups, monitoring visits, prescription reviews
You choose the total number of appointments in the series, from 2 up to 26 - enough to cover six months of weekly visits.
A few thoughtful details worth knowing:
- Each appointment in the series is a real, independent appointment. You can edit, move, or export any single visit without touching the others. A small repeat indicator on each appointment card shows its position in the series, like "2 of 4."
- Conflict detection checks the entire series. Before you save, the app checks every date in the series against your existing appointments - not just the first one. If visit 5 of your weekly series collides with a specialist appointment you booked months ago, you'll know before you create it.
- Deleting is flexible. When you delete an appointment that belongs to a series, you'll be asked whether you want to delete just that one visit or the whole series. Treatment ended early? Remove the remaining visits in one tap.
- Month-end dates are handled sensibly. A monthly series starting on January 31st lands on February 28th, then March 31st - the app uses the last day of shorter months instead of skipping them.
Calendar View: See Your Month at a Glance
The appointment log has always been a list - great for working through appointments one by one, but not ideal for answering "what does March look like?"
Now you can switch between list view and the new calendar view using the toggle at the top of your appointment log.
The calendar view gives you:
- A full month grid with your appointments shown on their days
- Collection colors on each entry, so you can tell Mom's appointments from the kids' at a glance
- Day details on tap - select any day to see that day's appointments listed below the calendar, with quick access to edit them
- Easy navigation - move between months or jump back with the Today button
- Your local conventions - the week starts on the day that's standard for your language and region
On smaller phone screens, appointments appear as colored dots to keep the grid readable; tap any day to see the full details.
The app remembers which view you prefer, so if you're a calendar person, it opens that way every time.
Spreadsheet Export: Your Appointments as Data
Sometimes you need your appointments outside a calendar: a printed list for a care conference, a record for insurance or tax purposes, or a spreadsheet a family member can sort and filter.
Premium users can now export selected appointments to a CSV spreadsheet file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, and any other spreadsheet app. Select the appointments you want, and you'll see a CSV button next to the usual calendar export.
Each row includes the date, time, doctor, organization, address, visit length, notes, and collection - everything you need for record-keeping, neatly organized in columns.
This joins the existing ICS calendar export, which remains the best way to get appointments into your calendar app. CSV is for when you need a document rather than calendar events.
Small Improvements You'll Notice
Alongside the headline features, this update includes:
- Delete Selected - select multiple appointments with their checkboxes and delete them together, with a confirmation step so nothing disappears by accident
- Smoother loading - the appointment log now shows preview cards while your appointments load instead of a spinner
Getting Started
All of this is available now:
- Create a recurring series: Add an appointment manually and set the Repeat option before saving
- Try the calendar view: Tap the calendar icon at the top of your appointment log
- Export a spreadsheet (premium): Select appointments in list view and tap the CSV button
For step-by-step instructions, see the new complete guide to recurring appointments and the calendar view.
What's Next
Recurring appointments today create a fixed series you manage visit by visit. We're exploring series-wide editing (change the time of every remaining visit at once) and smarter repeat detection in AI extraction, so "every Tuesday at 3pm for 8 weeks" on a referral letter becomes a series automatically.
