Import from Images

Snap a schedule from real life - a printed program, concert listing, or conference schedule. Import it with the help of AI. Hour by Hour uses OpenAI to read the text and turn it into events you can edit in the app.

Crafted with care by Joseph Humfrey, co-founder of indie game studio inkle, creators of narrative delights like 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Overboard!, and A Highland Song.

"Sometimes it feels like all the ideas for apps have been done, and then you run into something different, clever, and super useful. That's the bottom line for Hour by Hour, an excellent iOS scheduling app from Joe Humfrey of Selkie Design."
