Finally! I keep a home calendar and work calendar. I don't want people to see my private doctor's appointments (or kid's soccer games!) on my work calendar, but I do want the time to show as busy. This app takes two Google Calendars and syncs free-busy information between them.

Most compatible across platforms.

Can still use your iPhone as a phone (don't have to flip off a cover or pull it out of another case) and carries my cards & cash. Since I don't have keys (see Kisi/August/Tesla), this narrows it to only having to track/carry two things (this and Airpods).

Really nice UX for podcast listening. Love the integration with the Apple Watch - any time a part comes up I want to skip, I raise my Apple Watch and it has skip forward/skip back immediately available if a podcast is playing.

Used to connect my Alexa to open my gate.

Yale lock / August software = perfect. Auto-opens when I come home, auto-locks when I go inside or leave.

International data including at no additional charge (and not rate-limited like Verizon & AT&T) and secure to prevent SIM-swapping attacks (you need access to your Google account to make any changes, even if the changes are over the phone).

Track all my kid's soccer games. Does a nice job of handling multiple players/teams under a single app (any busy parent will appreciate this!) and you can subscribe so it all integrates (and updates) on your normal calendar.
