## What is Hour by Hour?

Create a plan. Stick to it.

Hour by Hour makes it easy to plan anything - catching a flight, organising a school day, managing a busy podcasting schedule, and more.

Create Events in Seconds
Adding events is as simple as jotting down a line of text, just like the Reminders app.

Write in Natural Language 
Simply type your timings in plain English, and the app works it out for you:

* “Catch a flight at 3”
* “10.30 Coffee”
* “London to Edinburgh 11 to 16:00”
* “Exhibition 3-4pm”

Quickly Link Events
Use relative language to connect events, so if plans shift, everything adjusts automatically:
* “Leave 30 mins before”
* “Arrive 20 minutes later”
* “Quick break after 20 mins for 10 mins”

Stay on track
* When your schedule is **active** on the days you choose, Hour by Hour highlights the event that is active *right now* based on timing.
* Hour by Hour includes integration with Live Activities and notifications.

### 5/5 — Genuinely Useful App

*2026-06-18*

My mind thinks exactly like this. I have certain events that will happen at a certain time and I need to count back or away from them with the time I know other activities will take and this makes it so easy. This was easily worth the money for me and that was before I noticed all the little details that have been given attention.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much, really glad to hear it’s working well for you! ❤️

### 3/5 — It’s okay.

*2026-05-15*

Kinda confusing to use

### 4/5 — Wonderful tool but does hang

*2026-04-28*

As someone with ADHD & autism this is a wonderful tool that is super helpful in my day to day and week however one issue that’s rather annoying is that upon opening your week/schedule the app grinds to a halt for a moment and essentially you have to wait for the app to catch up granted I’m running an iPhone 15pro max but it shouldn’t really be an issue

### 5/5 — My New Planner!

*2026-04-19*

I love this app! It’s simple yet the features are so useful! Highly recommend!!!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and cool

*2026-03-31*

What a great app!

Wish there’s more icons though to fit my all dark theme.
