Welcome to Aperio
Aperio is a calendar and task planner built from the ground up to be fully usable with a screen reader – without ever having to switch to browse mode. At the same time, it is a fast, native desktop app. It also runs as a mobile app on iOS and Android – see Mobile app.
This guide walks you step by step through every core feature. No prior knowledge required.
