Pocket Wombat
Calendar 10:00
Kickoff — outline the deck tonight.
Your day,
one pocket.
Calendar, reminders, writing, voice, sketches, and photos land in one stream for the day — not a second calendar, not a feed. Timeline is how you read the pocket. Thoughts is how you fill it. Ask Wombat summarises, extracts follow-ups, or answers a question about today.
Wednesday, 12th August
Thoughts
Three slides, then stop. Don’t polish in the meeting.
Reminder 16:00
Print the slides
Thoughts
Buy oat milk. The other one was a mistake.
Calendar 9:00
Standup
Reminder 11:30
Send the deck
Thoughts
Need a quieter morning. Standup ran long.
Voice
Call Sam before lunch. Don’t wait for the deck.
Now Playing
Whatever was on while you wrote.
Ask Wombat
Standup ran long. Deck still to send. You wanted a quieter morning, and to call Sam before lunch.
Calendar 14:00
1:1 with Sam
Thoughts
Deck went. Relief.
Now Playing
Friday afternoon. Volume down.
Voice
Week can stop now.
Camera
The walk after.
Sketch
Map of the loop. Didn’t need the phone for the rest.
Ask Wombat
Nothing on the calendar. Yesterday’s walk is still in the pocket.
Thoughts
Leave Monday alone until Monday.
Timeline
Look inside today’s pocket. Events and due reminders come from Calendar and Reminders — Pocket Wombat doesn’t keep a second schedule. Tap a day on the week strip, or open the month.

Pin
One thought on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy. It unpins when the day changes.
Add
Event, reminder, or a local alarm for this day. Titles can pick up time and place; When is always editable.
Now
Jump to this hour on the stream.
Thoughts
How you put things in the pocket. The rail remembers the last tool you used.
Write
Voice
Sketch
Camera
More
Write
A serif page for the day. Always editable — Markdown on the Timeline doesn’t lock the draft.
Voice
Record a thought. A transcript joins the stream when speech recognition can do it on-device.
Sketch
Pencil, pen, marker, eraser — in the card, not a system picker covering the rail.
Camera
A photo into today’s pocket. It stays on this iPhone unless you share it.
More
File, paste, scan text, tidy / bullets / numbers, find dates and tasks, share or email today as Markdown.
Ask Wombat
From the day header — not buried in a menu. About this pocket, not the internet.
Ask
A freeform question: what did I write, what’s left, what happened this morning.
Summarise the day
A short summary into the stream, from notes, calendar, reminders, and what you listened to.
Extract action items
New follow-ups only — it doesn’t clone events you already have on the day.
Morning primer
What’s on the calendar, and what you’ve already written or captured.
Apple Intelligence when your device can do it — on-device, included. Or bring your own key (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter), stored in Keychain. Format tools (tidy, lists, find dates) work with no key at all.
Calm to start
You begin with writing, calendar, and a couple of light day signals. Everything that needs a permission prompt stays off until you turn it on.

On this iPhone
No account
The journal stays on the device. Share or email a Markdown day when you want a copy elsewhere.
Day Pulse
A Home Screen widget for the latest Ask summary or last note, plus what’s next. Tap through to Ask.
Cream and Dark
The doodle wombat, the doodle icons, and the home-screen icon follow the theme you pick.
Shortcuts
On iOS 18, three donated shortcuts: open today, add a line to the journal, or read back today’s events and reminders. You invoke them with the app name — not a freeform Siri chat.
