One planner for your whole crew. Cria Planner is a shared family calendar, to-do list, meal planner, notebook and budget in one app, so the school run, the food shop and the summer trip stop living in five different apps. Free for two. PLAN TOGETHER Create a shared plan and invite your people. Everyone sees the same events, the same lists and the same notes, updated the moment anyone changes anything. And everyone you invite gets the full app free — one subscription covers the whole family. MEALS AND THE FOOD SHOP Plan the week's meals, drag them between days when things change, and every ingredient lands on one shared shopping list — your grocery list, grouped by shop, with the sizes and prices it remembers from last time. Plan ahead from meals you have already cooked, or load a ready-made week. Keep proper recipes, link them to the meals that use them, and send one to another Cria Planner user in a tap. STOP CHASING EVERYONE Assign a task to someone and set a reminder that reaches their phone, not just yours. When they forget anyway, nudge them: one tap pings their phone right now, and they answer "On it" straight from the notification without opening the app. Built for busy households, forgetful teenagers, and keeping a gentle eye on parents and grandparents. SPLIT THE COSTS Give any plan a budget. Log what everyone spends, split it between members — or with guests who don't need the app at all — then settle up in one round where each person ticks off what they've paid. Who owes who, solved. YOUR WHOLE DAY, ONE SCREEN My Day gathers today's events, due tasks and pinned notes from every plan into a single feed. Open the app, see what matters, get on with your day. LET CRIA BUILD IT Describe the trip or the week ahead and the Cria assistant drafts the whole plan for you, events and tasks and all. Included with Family. EVERYTHING ELSE - Month, week and day calendar views, colour-coded by plan - Quick add that reads plain English: type "dentist tomorrow 3pm" and the date sets itself - Import the events already sitting in your device calendar - Subtasks, five priority levels, drag to reorder, and a satisfying tick - Formatted notes with headings, lists, checklists, pictures and file attachments, lockable behind Face ID when they are private - Voice dictation into any note - Recurring events, snooze buttons on reminders, and a morning digest at 8am - Accent colours, dark mode, and an animal avatar for everyone in the plan WORKS OFFLINE The full planner runs on your device with no account and no connection needed. Sign in, and everything syncs across your devices and criaplanner.com in any browser. PLANS Free - the whole planner, synced across your devices.

"Plan ahead" fills empty days from meals you already cook, and "Load from template" reuses a ready-made week or one of your own. Sharing is now free on every plan — invite whoever you like. Plus formatted notes, task priority and a much faster app when loading a whole week. Thanks for all the feedback! ### 2.6.0 — 2026-09-04 Meal planning is here! Plan the week's meals, drag them between days, and every ingredient lands on a shared shopping list — with sizes, prices and per-shop grouping that remember themselves. Keep structured recipes, link them to meals, and share them with other CriaPlanner users in one tap. Plus: choose simple or detailed plan rows, and plan periods together — any member can now add the next week. Thanks for all the feedback that shaped this one! ### 2.5.3 — 2026-09-01 New in 2.5.3: • Bulk edit — select several items to assign, remind, repeat or nudge at once • Archive plans you're done with, without deleting anything • Invite by email — no account needed to receive one • Star plans & budgets as Favourites, pinned to the top • Set a subtask's priority right from the checklist • Due dates, reminders & repeats no longer clear each other out • Refreshed calendar and a proper wide-screen layout ### 2.5.2 — 2026-08-26 TIME ZONES FOR EVENTS Give an event its own time zone. Enter and read its times in the zone where it actually happens, while your calendar still shows it correctly wherever you are — so a flight or a meeting booked before you travel lands on the right hour once you get there. REMINDERS, REBUILT A task now has a due time of its own, set with the hourglass, separate from the reminders leading up to it. Add as many reminders as you like — a week before, the night before, an hour before — and get nudged at each one. Every reminder on an item is listed in one place, and any of them can be edited or removed. TASKS ON THE CALENDAR, YOUR CALL A new Calendar options setting decides whether tasks appear on their due day, and every plan can either follow that setting or override it in its own settings. SAVINGS BUDGETS A budget can now be a savings pot — a holiday fund, a new bike — with deposits, withdrawals and a running total, alongside the regular and split-the-costs kinds. The new budget wizard asks which kind you want up front. WEATHER IN MY DAY Pick up to three cities and My Day shows their weather at the top. No location permission needed — they are just cities you choose. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-24 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
