Occasion as system
Every occasion has a calm minimum playbook hiding inside it. A wedding looks impossible from the outside, but most of the planning work is a manageable sequence of small decisions if the system catches them as they emerge. A move looks impossible too, until you realize the boring middle is mostly screenshot-able — utility setup confirmations, lease documents, address changes — and what remains is mostly remembering what comes next at the right time. The /plan/ hub treats each major occasion (wedding, trip, move, birthday, holiday) as a system rather than a project. The same Composed features handle most of the load: voice events for the things you remember, AI prep tasks for the things you would have forgotten, and screenshot import for confirmations.
The occasions covered are the ones where the difference between a stressful experience and a calm one comes down to whether a planning system is doing the boring middle. Weddings have hundreds of small items spanning months. Trips have a cascade of bookings, confirmations, and packing decisions in a compressed window. Moves have a logistical sequence that is forgiving on any single step but unforgiving on the whole sequence. Birthdays look easy but produce surprising friction if multiple people are involved and you cannot remember whether anyone confirmed. Holidays compress everything — family coordination, travel, gifts, shared events — into a short window. Each occasion is a different shape, but they all benefit from the same handful of Composed features.
Voice events handle the steady stream of items that surface during the planning window. "Order the cake by Friday," "Confirm catering by next Monday," "Call the airline about seat selection" — each spoken sentence lands as a structured event with prep tasks generated automatically. Screenshot import handles the inbound flow of confirmations: hotel reservations, flight bookings, venue contracts, RSVP responses. The AI prep tasks layer means each event arrives with a small checklist of what to do before it — wedding-specific, trip-specific, move-specific — without you having to ask. Shared events with link-RSVP handle the coordination layer when other people are involved.
The hub does not try to replace a wedding planner, moving company, or travel agent. It captures the preparation layer between booking and arrival — the boring middle most planning apps leave to the user. The playbooks are small. The point is calm.
How the wedding playbook works in Composed
A wedding in Composed is mostly a long sequence of small events with prep tasks, spread across a multi-month window. Voice capture handles the steady flow of items that emerge: vendor calls, fittings, deposits, RSVPs. Each event gets an AI-generated prep checklist when it is created. Screenshot import absorbs the cascade of vendor confirmations and contracts. Shared events with link-RSVP coordinate with the wedding party without requiring anyone to download the app. Apple Calendar and Google Calendar imports bring in dates already on your calendar without counting against the five-event free tier. The graduated reminder system surfaces items at the right horizon rather than all at once.
How the trip playbook works in Composed
A trip in Composed is a sequence of structured events around a flight or a road trip, with the flight intelligence layer doing most of the heavy lifting. Screenshot the flight confirmation and Claude Vision extracts airports, times, confirmation code, and connections. The phase-aware timeline card walks through pre-flight, check-in open, boarding, in-flight, and arrived. Hotel screenshots import as multi-day events with check-in and check-out dates parsed correctly. The airport buffer is automatic — two hours domestic, three hours international. Voice capture handles the steady flow of trip prep items that emerge in the days before. Shared events let you send arrival info to whoever is doing pickup.
How the move playbook works in Composed
A move in Composed is a sequence of voice-captured events and screenshot-imported confirmations spread across a compressed window. Utility setup emails get screenshot-imported as events with the activation date. Lease documents and inspection appointments land as structured events with prep tasks generated automatically. Voice capture handles the steady flow of small items: address changes to file, services to cancel, deposits to chase. The graduated reminder system surfaces each item at the right horizon — gentle awareness early in the move, action nudges as the date approaches, precise departure timing on moving day. Apple Calendar and Google Calendar imports bring in any move-related dates already on your calendar.
Planning occasions — frequently asked
How do you plan a wedding without a spreadsheet?
A wedding without a spreadsheet works if you have a planner that catches small items as they surface and generates prep checklists automatically. Composed handles this by treating each wedding-related item as a structured event with date, time, and AI-generated prep tasks. Voice capture absorbs the steady flow of vendor calls, fittings, and deposits. Screenshot import handles the cascade of contracts and confirmations. Shared events with link-RSVP coordinate with the wedding party without anyone needing to download the app. The graduated reminder system surfaces items at the right horizon, so you are not staring at a wall of three hundred items at once — only the ones that need attention now.
What's the best way to plan a trip on iPhone?
The most calm way to plan a trip on iPhone is to let screenshot import absorb the booking confirmations and let voice capture handle the trip-prep items that emerge in the days before. In Composed, a flight confirmation screenshot becomes a structured event with airports, times, confirmation code, and connections extracted by Claude Vision. The flight timeline card moves through phases automatically. Hotel screenshots import as multi-day events. The airport buffer in departure tracking is automatic — two hours domestic, three hours international. Shared events send arrival info to whoever is doing pickup. The combination covers most of the boring middle of trip logistics.
How do you plan a move without forgetting anything?
A move stays manageable when the planning system catches small items as they emerge and surfaces them at the right time. In Composed, voice capture absorbs the steady stream of address changes, services to cancel, and deposits to chase. Screenshot import handles utility setup confirmations and lease documents. Each event gets an AI-generated prep checklist when it is created, so an inspection appointment arrives with a small list of what to bring. The graduated reminder system surfaces items at three horizons — gentle awareness early, action nudges as the date approaches, and precise departure timing on moving day — so the planning never lands as a wall of pressure at once.
How do you plan a birthday party for someone without forgetting details?
A birthday party stays simple when the planning system handles the coordination and the small detail-tracking on your behalf. In Composed, voice capture absorbs items as they emerge: order the cake, confirm the venue, pick up decorations. Each event arrives with an AI-generated prep checklist. Shared events with link-RSVP let invited guests confirm attendance without downloading the app. Screenshot import handles the inbound flow of venue confirmations and vendor details. The graduated reminder system surfaces items at the right horizon rather than dumping everything at once. The result is a planning window that feels manageable rather than scattered across notes apps and group texts.
