DotCal
An offline-first Android calendar and task app with no ads and no account
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today

It puts Google, Outlook, iCloud or CalDAV events on a spare tablet or e-ink screen for a one-time US$12.99, with no account and no subscription.
Jotcal shows today's events, tasks and weather on one screen and reads from the calendars a household already uses: Google, Outlook, iCloud or any CalDAV server. Write an event with a stylus and it becomes a synced entry, recognised on the device. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, including e-ink tablets such as Boox. Pro is a one-time US$12.99 after a 14-day trial; sync and handwriting stay free. Aston Gilliland, an independent developer, makes it. No account or analytics, though Android sends crash reports unless switched off.
