People turn their TV on in the morning?
And then turn on their Apple TV?
How do you get ready?

You only need to turn on your Apple TV and the TV turns on as well. But this would be a whole lot more useful if you could turn it on and off using HomeKit.People turn their TV on in the morning?

This is a really cool idea, and looks great, although I see its limitations on tvOS.
Punya, if you see this, I’d like this as my Mac screensaver somehow, where you can plug into Events framework and I could potentially act on something shown on the dashboard if possible
Apple if you see this, this is what the long neglected Mac dashboard (actually, is that even still there in Mojave?) and even notification centre on macOS should take cues from
This cynical but accurate comment about our favorite trillion dollar company reminds me of an old lyric, "in the days when you were hopelessly poor I just liked you more."
Yes. My thoughts exactly. Will be in tvOS 13 and presented as a “magical idea”, “no other device in the market has”.Won't be long before Apple comes out with their own and then bans this app.
This seems nice but I can't think of a good reason to it this in my house, but something like this could be cool as a dashboard for a busy office or something.

Quick access to key information.
I'm sure you had a great reason for choosing Google.
For example, if you're making a dashboard for the work-from-home employee, having a calendar, to-do list, and other status information is critical.
As explained, Apple isn't providing APIs to access the iCloud calendar (nor does tvOS itself have a notion of local calendars).
The developer has considered building a companion app for iOS that would sync, but has postponed it for now.
(That said, the developer could probably also implement a CalDAV client themselves?)
That's all well and good, but this is mostly on Apple.

Student and former Apple intern Punya Chatterjee has developed a slick-looking free tvOS app called DayView that acts as a personal dashboard for Apple TV.

Similar to Today View on iPhone, the DayView interface displays widgets that hook into useful online platforms and personal services, providing at-a-glance information in a unified dashboard.
You can customize the dashboard wallpaper and select which widgets go where in the dashboard panels, plus they automatically refresh, so you could leave the app up on your TV screen during your morning routine, for example.

Currently the app includes widgets for weather, commute time, Google calendar, stocks, Twitter trends, and news headlines, but Chatterjee plans to build several more as well as improve the existing widgets, with better dashboard customization options also in the offing.
Possibilities for future updates include custom wallpapers, additional news sources for the news widget, HomeKit integration, extra calendar view options, extendable widgets, and more.

Apple Calendar support would be an obvious win, but Apple's EventKit framework is currently only available for macOS and iOS, although the developer is looking at alternative syncing solutions in the meantime.
DayView 1.0 is a free download on Apple TV from the tvOS App Store. [Direct Link]

Because the Apple TV has a very very limited interface and if you own ANY other Apple product, it already has your iCloud Calendar events on it -- and is about 100x better suited to interacting with said events.[doublepost=1541440312][/doublepost]Why can't I use ical for my calendar on this app on TV ?
