## What is Glass Planner?

AN APP STORE "BEST NEW APP” —  ALSO A “GET THINGS DONE” AND “STAY ON TASK” SELECTION IN PRODUCTIVITY.

FEATURED IN MACWORLD, FORBES, LIFEHACKER, MACLIFE, EXAMINER.COM, AND MORE.

GLASS IS YOUR OS FOR LIFE—A dynamic calendar that integrates tasks, to-do lists, and goals into your scheduled daily workflow.

In Glass, you manage your tasks right in your calendar, where you can schedule them into your day. And when it’s time to get things done, Glass shines. Just touch the ACT switch, and Glass transforms your calendar into a streamlined action list. You see only today’s appointments, and only those upcoming tasks you can act on now, all sorted by priority. All other distractions are eliminated. It's an automatic, intelligent life planner that lets you think months ahead or sharpen your focus to the next few hours.

Glass syncs with your iCloud Calendar so you can work with your schedule on any Apple device. If you're familiar with David Allen’s “Getting Things Done,” you'll love Glass, especially for the calendar-based prioritization and filtering that traditional GTD apps can’t provide. Explore Glass' depths and you'll find a complete set of tools that make big planning possible—even fun—on a small screen.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-04-23, version 1.7.6*

I love the app but I wish that when you turn your phone you would be able to view in landscape mode. That would make it easier to view everything.

### 5/5 — Game Changer.

*2025-03-25*

I’ve been with Glass as my main To Do Planner, and I just love the simplicity, practicality, and ease to forward the events to the later day… I procrastinate a lot, but this allows me to either reschedule with one swipe, or just schedule a repetitive events. 
    Glass is a Game Changer because it’s different than your running list or your daily do to, it’s incorporating everything in, so you can tell how much time you will need…

### 5/5 — Glass is back!

*2021-08-07*

Been waiting for this app to be updated for a long time! Thanks Slide Rule! One problem though…sometimes it freezes up and I have to turn off the ol phone to operate it again. Seems like this happens every couple days. Any fixes on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
