Ermine

Ermine is a brand new calendar app with a beautiful, minimal aesthetic that nonetheless adds personality through illustrations and tasteful pops of color. The app is available for both iPhone and iPad, and I really enjoy the UI on iPad where you can see a month view next to an agenda listing out only a single day’s events, then there’s a separate pane you can bring in as an overlay on the left for viewing future months. It’s all very thoughtfully laid out. Modern system features are supported at launch, like dark mode, iPad multitasking, and even iOS 14’s widgets. The widget options are solid, and I especially love the illustrated widget which displays a month view next to a beautiful illustration featuring a furry friend. Now I want all apps’ widgets to have illustrated versions added.
