About Calma

Calma is an iPhone planner and tracker designed for people with ADHD. Its central feature is a voice brain dump: you talk freely about your day or to-do list and the AI turns the recording into structured tasks with priorities and due dates.

Other parts of the app are a mood journal that captures spoken entries and detects emotions over time, habit tracking with pixel grids that show streaks across the year, a daily planner with priorities, and home screen widgets for checking tasks and habits. The App Store listing says it supports about 11 languages.

Calma is a proprietary app from the developer Valerii Alekseev, free to download with in-app purchases. It suits people who find typing and organizing tasks a barrier and want a calm interface for capturing thoughts.
