We’ve finally launched two of the most-requested aesthetic updates in our Howbout+ subscription, built for all the people who:

• live by a color-coded calendar
• love a clean digital planner vibe
• want their calendar to feel less like admin and more like an extension of them

Whether you’re scheduling a catch-up with friends or planning a weekend somewhere exotic, your calendar just got way prettier (and way more organized).

🌈 New: Custom theme options

Most calendars are corporate and functional, but that doesn’t reflect the exciting plans you have in them!

With custom theme options, you can now change the look and feel of your entire Howbout screen using exclusive premium skins.

What you get:

• Curated themes are based on our most popular color combinations
• A more cohesive, aesthetic experience across the app
• A calendar that feels like an inspiration board, not a to-do list

If you’ve ever searched for an aesthetic calendar app or a customisable way to keep track of plans with friends, this is basically your sign.

🎨 New: Expanded color range

If your life is busy, our free range of colors just don’t cut it. For all the different events you have going on, you need more to keep track of everything!

That’s why we’ve unlocked an expanded Premium color range with 30+ colors to choose from, so you can organise your plans with maximum clarity.

What you get:

• More color options to separate everything properly, from the gym to date nights, to Work, to travel, and all the other random life admin you can think of.
• Instant clarity when you look at your week, so you know what’s coming up next at a glance

This update is perfect if you’re into visual time management or you just want your schedule to look satisfying.
