## What is Banana Plan?

How many hours do you really have left today?

Banana Plan splits your 24 hours into five areas — work, study, exercise, rest and people — and helps you look after all of them, not just the loudest one.

BALANCE, NOT EQUAL SPLITS
Spending most of your day on work or study is normal — Banana Plan never asks you to split time evenly. It compares each area with your goal and shows the gaps on a balance chart. Pick a lifestyle and sensible goals are filled in for you.

TIME LEFT, LIVE
The home screen shows how much of today is left, in real time. Drift — time you didn't log — sits right next to the time you used well.

TO-DOS THAT FILL UP
Add today's to-dos by area and watch each box fill as you finish them. Recurring to-dos land on the right days automatically, priorities put first things first, and anything unfinished waits in your postponed list.

BANA GROWS AS YOU FINISH
Every to-do you check ripens Bana a step, and each day adds one Bana to your weekly bunch. Share it as a card.

CARDS FOR YOUR LIFE
Your lifestyle adds a card next to To-dos: Study (focus time, D-days) for students, Exercise for office workers, Ideas notes for people who run their own work, Baby notes for parents.

IPAD
A wide layout for portrait, landscape and Split View, plus Desk mode with a big timer. With your iPhone nearby, records sync right away — even without internet.

RECURRING BLOCKS
Set up things that happen at the same time every day — commutes, classes, shifts — once, and they appear on your timeline automatically.

TIMER & TIMELINE
Log focused time with a timer, then tap any block on your timeline to fix its start or end. Turn on Focus lock during a study or sleep timer so only the apps you allow can open, and play calm focus sounds (birds, rain, fire) through headphones.

LOCK SCREEN, DYNAMIC ISLAND & WATCH
A running timer shows on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — stop it without opening the app. Widgets show drift, used and remaining time. The Apple Watch app mirrors your day and lets you stop or resume a timer from your wrist.

SLEEP & EVENING RHYTHM
A morning brief sums up today and an evening review plans tomorrow. The sleep timer switches to dark mode, and sleep imported from Apple Health stays on your device.

REPORTS & PATTERNS
Weekly and monthly reports sum up your balance, completion and drift. Patterns show when your balance slips, where your drift piles up, and how your sleep rhythm looks.

FRIENDS, MESSAGES, GROUPS & CHALLENGES
Add friends and choose exactly what they see — to-dos, balance, completion, time log or patterns. Share your day in stories and posts and trade comments, likes and cheers — friends only. Message them one to one. Groups show each other's balance and who's timing right now. Join challenges and keep your streak going.

A MONTH AT A GLANCE
See each day's weather, special days and plans in the month view. Calendar Plus adds multi-day events, stars and day decorations.

BACKUP
Your records back up to your account, so a new phone picks up where you left off.

Banana Plan Premium (monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription) unlocks past-week sleep, drift, time mix, study and exercise patterns, the monthly report and the full weekly report, Calendar Plus (multi-day events, stars, day decorations), background themes, Bana outfit colors, detailed weather, and photos, pins and one-year history in Messages. Records, timer, to-dos, balance chart, this week's sleep pattern, the basic calendar, budget book, lifestyle cards, friends and their news, groups, challenges, widgets, Apple Watch, Focus lock and focus sounds stay free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.7 — 2026-11-13

What's New
- Home that follows your day — Cheer sits on top in the morning, Next Schedule during the day. Once your plans are done in the evening (and always from 9 pm), Balance and Time Record move up. Long-press to keep your own order; "Reset card order" brings the automatic one back.
- Budget card — Budget is now on Home by default. You can remove it anytime.
- Long timer reminder — after 3 hours a notification lets you keep recording, stop or edit right away.
- Added cards — sit as a wide bar under To-do and your main card; two of them sit side by side.
- Category screen — to-do cards in two big columns, and Bana holds a prop for each category.

Improvements
- Clearer Home with white cards; the To-do screen uses white cards too. Next Schedule shrinks to one line when empty.
- New home button and a thicker Balance line.
- iPad — portrait now uses two columns too; the landscape Balance card has a bigger chart.
- Tapping just after the "now" line on the timeline adds a plan, the Bana dress-up sheet no longer gets cut off, and other small fixes.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-11-10

What's New
- Study Lounge — start a study or work timer and you're automatically seated in a 3D reading room (web). Enter it from the Groups tab; the Work tab opens the Work Lounge. You can turn this off in Profile.
- Official groups — you now join an official group for Study, Exercise and Work by default. You're not alone anymore.
- Daily cheer — a card with a word of encouragement on Home. Tap for the next one.
- Rearrange Home — long-press the bar card, Next Schedule and Cheer cards to move them up or down. Balance sits at the bottom by default.
- Edit a to-do — change its name and move it to another item (e.g. Side job → Business) in one dialog.
- Calendar — tap an empty slot to add a record right there; records that cross midnight are split by day.
- Get a notification when a plan ends.
- iPad — in landscape, Time Record and Patterns sit as squares under Balance, and bar cards have bigger text. Portrait to-do boxes leave no gaps.
- Tidier card boxes for the Freelancer and Job-seeker types.
- Events — friend invite, group participation and Bana bunch event banners.

Improvements
- Easier to read overall: 17px body text, larger buttons, better contrast. New sign-in and first-use screens.
- Priority rows — item name stays left, text wraps to two lines.
- Fixed first-day Home text, faster Settings, softer Profile/Event cards, overlapping text on the To-do card, and other small issues.
