## What is Amazing Marvin?

Amazing Marvin is a to-do list and daily planner you can customize, one feature at a time.

WHY IT WORKS THIS WAY

Different things work for different people. The method that changed your colleague's life can feel like a straitjacket on you. The setup you loved in March can stop working in June. That is normal.

So Marvin does not hand you a fixed system. Turn on the features you need, and disable the ones you don't. 

What users are saying:
"So customizable, that when I feel I start to get bored, I can change my flow or strategy & it feels like a brand new app."

If you have ever abandoned a setup because you got bored of it, you will love Marvin.

PLANNING YOUR DAY

- Day planner, where each day gets its own list rather than one endless pile
- Duration estimates and a capacity bar that tells you when you have planned more than the day actually holds
- Do dates and due dates kept separate, so "work on it Tuesday" is not the same as "it is due Tuesday"
- Two-way calendar sync
- Week planning, with tasks dragged between days to even out the load
- Nested projects and categories, labels, smart lists, recurring tasks
- A backburner for someday, kept out of sight of today

STARTING IS THE OTHER HALF

Knowing what to do and being able to begin are two different problems, and the second is where most days come apart. A lot of Marvin is built for that exact moment:

- Accountability Pledge: put money on a task. If you do not finish it, you pay.
- Procrastination Wizard: an interactive walk-through of why you are stuck and what to try next
- Task breakdown: split something until the first step is small enough to be boring
- Super Focus Mode: everything hidden except the one task
- The Task Jar: when choosing is the problem, let it choose for you
- Dread levels and Eat the Frog, so the thing you are avoiding stops being invisible
- Truncated lists, showing two or three items at a time instead of forty

KEEPING TRACK, OR NOT

Time tracking, Time goals, Pomodoro targets, Habits, Points and Rewards are all here (optional). 

BUILT WITH LOVE, BY A SMALL TEAM

Marvin has been in development for nearly ten years and is still made by a very small team that reads its own support email. It is funded by the people who use it, which is why it has no ads, no data selling and no investors to grow for.

ON YOUR PHONE

The Marvin phone app syncs with the web and desktop versions. Capture on the bus, plan at your desk, or do all of it from your pocket.

Free 14-day trial, no card required.

SUBSCRIPTION

After the free trial, Amazing Marvin is $11.99 per month or $96 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.

### 5/5 — New App

*2026-09-26*

The new app is a complete game changer. If you previously used the app without using the desktop or web version and gave up on Marvin, you need to come back and try it again. I’ve used the desktop app for over a decade and just kind of accepted that the phone app would never be helpful. But now both apps work seamlessly. Shout out to the Marvin team for listening to their users and adjusting the app accordingly

### 5/5 — Great on desktop and mobile

*2026-08-18, version 1.66.0*

Great app for people who want customizable task and project management software. Lots of options available for those with neurodivergence.

### 1/5 — Not low executive function friendly

*2026-08-10, version 1.66.0*

This did not feel ADHD friendly at all. I tried to put in tasks but they disappeared and couldn’t put in energy level etc. cool concept but user interface is not ideal for new users who want something low effort

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2026-04-25, version 1.66.0*

Maybe you will have more luck but sync completely locks up the UI and makes the interface unusable. I’ve tried running sync status checks, resolving conflicts even factory resetting my todos. For now have cancels my subscription but hope they resolve cause the web app is top notch.

### 1/5 — Charged me $240 for training and then didn’t show up

*2025-09-30, version 1.66.0*

The company that runs this is horrible.  For people with ADHD, the app is very elaborate.  I was willing to pay for special training so I could figure out how to use it, and when I inquired, I was connected to the founder of the app, who has a website where you pay $240 for an hour of her time.  I paid it and then her calendar was broken so I couldn’t book a time. When I inquired by email, someone said they would let her know and then it was radio silence from there.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Customer Service - Thank You Branko!

*2025-09-27*

Amazing Marvin is incredible! So customizable and creative. I've used a lot of habit/to-do list software and settled on Notion for a few years, but I kept running into certain points of friction. So far, it seems like Marvin can solve them! It takes time to set up and all the features can be overwhelming, but it's worth it for the customizability. 

The team is extraordinarily helpful! The primary reason I took the time to write a review is that Branko in particular has given me tons of advice, replying super quickly to my questions with clear instructions that indicate a deep understanding of the product. Seems like the developers have been responsive to feature requests as well! Grateful and excited 🙌

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, amazing customer service

*2025-08-25, version 1.66.0*

-I’ve been using AM for about 6 months. 

-I’ve tried loads of different project planning apps and tend to get a bit obsessive over getting my planning system perfect.

-AM is by far the best i’ve used. 

-On top of that, when i got in touch with customer service i got a quick friendly reply that completely solved the issue. 

-I honestly feel like they are trying to make life easier for their customers, not just in it for the money which is unusual and refreshing.

-100% would recommend if you want a central app to plan everything and anything in

Tip:
-The web interface is better than the app. I do all of the heavy editing on my laptop but use the app to add things on the fly.

### 3/5 — Only works in web

*2025-08-04, version 1.66.0*

The web version is 5/5 but the iPhone version can’t load. 1/5

### 1/5 — Current Version of App Is Unusable

*2025-07-19, version 1.66.0*

As far as I remember this is my only 1-star review. I can open the app once, and log in. After initial log in the app locks on the start animation and then crashed. Support suggested I use the web app. I have tried it but the tiny touch points are annoying. I like the service but mobile is key part of my workflow and this just does not work. Back to Todoist for me.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-29, version 1.66.0*

It can be simple or super custom.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.71.0 — 2026-09-24

This is a complete rebuild (Sept 2026), not another update.

If you last opened Marvin on your phone a few years ago, you were using a companion to the desktop app - and it felt like one. This is not that app. It has been redesigned from the ground up as a full Marvin you can plan an actual day in, on a phone, without reaching for your laptop to do the real work.

What changed:

- A brand new interface
- A Home screen you customize: brain dump, your most important tasks, current projects, time targets and more
- More features from the web app: braindump, mood tracker, spin wheel etc.

What did not change:

Your account, your data, your strategies and your setup are exactly where you left them. Sign in and it is all there. Nothing to migrate, nothing to rebuild.

If you switched Marvin off on mobile years ago because it was not good enough, this is the version worth trying again.

And to everyone who kept using the old one anyway: thank you! You were patient with it for a long time. :)
