What's New in Daily Planner

2.8

October 20, 2026

Get ready, and a timeline that fits you. • Prep time puts the steps before an activity on the timeline. A Get ready screen counts down to when you leave. • An empty day now asks how to start: from scratch, or with a playlist. • A new Timeline screen in Settings lets you choose how the rail fills, and strike through completed activities. • Focus counts long activities down one hour at a time. Tap the ring to switch between the dial and the ring. • Tap a duration to set it with hour and minute wheels. • Markers are now called Chapters. • Calendar entries you change in Couchday stay changed, with a way back to the original. Previously: Fixes, and clearer free time. • Free time between activities is now a dashed cell that says how long it lasts. The line for the current time passes behind it. • Tap a free time cell to see what's next, then tap Start Focus or Fill this gap. • Fixed: a marker's menu offered Delete All Below even when nothing was below it. • Fixed: Past 7 Days now ends today, not yesterday. Previously: Two days, side by side. • On iPad, just open two windows and each window keeps its own day. Put tomorrow next to today for better planning. • Focus mode uses the room it has. When an activity has a checklist, the list moves beside the ring on iPad and in landscape, instead of below it. • Adding an activity after another one now starts at 15 minutes, instead of inheriting the length of the one above. • Fixed: a calendar event you ignored could come back on the next calendar sync, and lose its place in the day. • Fixed: dragging an activity no longer shifts the rows under your finger when something overruns. • Fixed: tapping the date header always opens and closes the week strip. • Fixed: the Today button and the undo toast no longer overlap at the bottom of the screen. Previously: Your day, even more like a playlist. • Start now — running early? Open the next activity and tap Start now. The rest of the day follows. • Finish now — finished early? Tap Finish now on the current activity. Everything after it moves up. • Undo — deleted, reordered, or started the wrong thing? Undo is one tap away at the bottom of the screen. • Templates are now called Playlists. Same library, same place. Previously: Changing an activity's duration is much faster. The timeline keeps up as you tap, however many days you have behind you. Previously: Ask Siri about your day. Say "Couchday status" to hear what's on now and how long is left, "what's left in Couchday" for the rest of the day, or "what's lined up in Couchday" for the next three. No need to open the app. English only for now. Fixed: all-day calendar events jumped to the end of the day whenever a calendar changed elsewhere. They stay put now. Previously: Stability improvements and small fixes under the hood. Previously: Fixed: Send Feedback was broken. It works again — please do write in. On the focus timer: • See the time you've put in, alongside the time left. • Collapse the checklist down to its progress, the way timeline rows already work. • The next-activity line now shows only when there's a next one, and eases in instead of snapping.

Way too expensive

I’ve been looking for an app with this exact concept! It’s such a shame because I think it could really work for me and I’d love to use it but the subscription cost is insane and there’s not much you can do without it. It’s twice as much as most other subscriptions.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. I think you might actually be getting more from the free version than from most other apps in this space. The whole concept, creating and managing your day like a playlist, is entirely free. You don't need the subscription for that. You can even just copy your previous day to keep going quickly on the mornings when planning from scratch feels like too much. I deliberately kept the subscription to just the features for people who want to go to the next level like calendar sync and playlist templates. Everything else is the actual app. I hope you give it another go and discover how much is already in the free version. Thanks again for the honest feedback, and feel free to send it directly through the feedback option in the app - I read every message :-)

Very promising

The concept and simplicity is exactly what I was looking for. The app though appears to only be half written. I can create tasks, with triggers and rewards, but can find no means of ticking them off or tracking progress. I tried to contact the developer before writing this review but both the support and website link are duds.

Response from developer

Hi ChrisOmre, you can only tick off habits for the current day or in the past. So when you start a new habit there is much you can do. Once you progress and come back daily to tick off habits it will make sense. However, there could also be a problem with the app. We haven’t heard about this before but would be happy to look into it.
