The pitch
For people in their 30s–50s who already pay for premium calendar and productivity apps and who keep maintaining a separate spreadsheet or notebook for "the year ahead," Metonic is the personal timeline of your life — a single fluid surface that zooms continuously from a minute to a decade, where your events, your weather, and the astronomy of your year are visible at every scale on one screen. Unlike calendar apps (Apple Calendar, Fantastical) that confine you to discrete day, week, and month views, and unlike project-timeline tools (Aeon Timeline, Notion) that aren't built for everyday time, Metonic is the personal-time-shape view that calendar apps have been missing for fifteen years. One-time purchase, no subscription.
In one line: the personal timeline calendars never had — minute to decade, on a single fluid surface.

What makes it different
Time, not just events
You see what your time looks like — the busy months, the empty weeks, the shape of a year — not just a list of what's next.
Events, weather, and sky in bands
Calendars, weather, daylight, the moon and the seasons share one timeline as stacked bands, readable at any scale.
Pay once
A one-time unlock in a category of subscriptions — a tool you own, not a service you rent.
The story
Metonic is a do-over. In 2012 the developer shipped a timeline calendar that reviewers loved across more than a dozen languages — they reached, unprompted, for the same word for the zoom: "wow." One French reviewer wrote that once you've tried the interface, "you no longer know what it's like not to have it." It was never marketed, and it quietly died on a working product. Metonic is that idea rebuilt natively in Metal — and this time, shown to people.
The name comes from the Metonic cycle: the nineteen-year period that reconciles the lunar month with the solar year, used to set calendars from the Antikythera mechanism to the date of Easter, 2,400 years on. It's the frame the whole app takes — time as something you measure and perceive, not merely schedule: how your events relate across weeks, years, or even decades. Lunar months and solar years, in one continuous view.

Boilerplate
Metonic is a personal timeline for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Instead of switching between day, week, and month views, you see your whole life on one continuous, Metal-rendered surface that zooms from a minute to a decade — your events, the weather, and the astronomy of your year visible at every scale. It is a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Made by independent developer Felix Ungman.
