## What is Matters Planner?

Matters is a calm daily planner built around one idea: focus on what truly matters.  

Most to-do apps bury you in everything at once. Matters lets you pool everything in organized lists, then pull only what matters today — finish it, and let it cycle back. Calm, focused, and beautifully minimal.

MAC APP INCLUDED
Matters comes with a full Mac app, synced through your own iCloud — no extra purchase. Work in multi-column lists side by side, plan weeks and months ahead in the planning views, capture a task from any app with a global hotkey, mindmap with pro/con feature, and drive it all from the keyboard.

ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE
Create lists for the areas that matter — Nutrition, Movement, Skills, Projects, anything. Each list is a focused home for related tasks, so your mind stays clear and your work stays organized. Group lists into folders to see whole areas at a glance.

PLAN YOUR DAY, NOT JUST YOUR TASKS
- Today shows exactly what you've committed to
- Time blocks let you build your day hour by hour and protect time for deep work
- Drag a task onto your timeline to do it at the right moment
- A built-in focus timer keeps you on track, one session at a time
- Set a target for the week ahead and plan into it

YOUR CALENDAR, RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR TASKS
Bring your existing calendar events into the same view as your work, so you can see the meeting at 2pm before you promise the afternoon to something else. Your events stay in your own calendars — Matters only reads them.

BUILD HABITS THAT STICK
- Track habits on the schedule you actually keep: every day, every few days, or specific weekdays
- Count repetitions toward a daily target, not just done or not done
- Streaks that understand your rest days instead of punishing them
- A clear history so you can see the pattern, not just today

TASKS THAT HOLD THE WHOLE STORY
- Sub-task checklists, image attachments, and notes on any task
- Deadlines with multi-day tracking
- Recurring tasks: daily, weekly, monthly, and custom intervals
- Rolling tasks that cycle back instead of disappearing, perfect for routines
- Reminders that arrive when you asked for them

SEE WORK YOUR WAY
- Every list is also a Kanban board: drag work across columns
- A per-list Brief keeps meetings, decisions, references, and notes in one operating page
- Sort, section, and reorder each list the way that suits it

ON EVERY SCREEN
Built for iPhone and iPad, with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen: today's agenda, your time blocks, and your habit streaks at a glance.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays yours — it lives on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers. No sign-up, no tracking, no third-party data sharing.

Beautifully minimal, light or dark to match your system, with a set of themes when you want a different feel. Built to get out of your way.

Start free for 14 days. Then keep everything with a Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime plan.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.36 — 2026-08-22

Paste a list, get a checklist.

• Paste multi-line text into a subtask field and every line becomes its own subtask, instead of one run-on item.
• Bulleted and checkbox-style lists are recognized — -, *, •, and - [ ] markers are stripped automatically, and blank lines are skipped.
• Works whether you paste into the "Add subtask" row or into an existing subtask.

### 1.35 — 2026-08-19

Focus Timer, everywhere you look
• Your running Focus Timer now lives in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen — glance at the countdown without opening the app.
• Timer completion alerts now arrive on time even when the app is in the background.

Fixes & polish
• Scrolling a list no longer accidentally picks up a section header and drags it. Sections reorder only when you hold and deliberately move them.
• Collapsing or expanding a section now shows or hides its tasks instantly.
• Restored icons that could turn invisible on iOS 18 (navigation panel, "+" button, list glyphs).
• New installs now follow your system light/dark appearance by default.
• Agenda: fixed truncated week-strip date ranges, a missing week column, and the week-target toggle.

### 1.34 — 2026-08-06

• Fixed duplicate copies of the "Getting Started" list, along with the duplicated habits and repeating tasks that came with it. Existing duplicates are cleaned up automatically on launch.

• Week numbers now appear by default in regions that use them, and the Agenda's month view no longer leaves an empty column on the left.

• Fixed the "Syncing with iCloud…" message staying on screen indefinitely.

• Fixed truncated date ranges in the Agenda's week strip.

• New installs now follow your device's light/dark appearance.

Fixed several controls that were invisible on iOS 18: the "+" button for adding lists, list icons in the navigation menu, the weekly-target toggle, and headers that didn't match the app's background.

### 1.33 — 2026-07-27

New
• Guided product tour. The welcome flow now ends with an optional walkthrough, and a full catalog of replayable spotlight tours is available from the Help hub — reachable from the bottom bar's "?" and from Settings ▸ About.
•  Reorder habit counters. Drag habit cards into the order you want, or use Move Up / Move Down from the counter's context menu. The order syncs across your devices.
•  Check for Updates. A new row in Settings ▸ About, plus a quiet once-a-day check on launch that lets you know when a newer version is out.
•  Richer sample data. Choosing "Take a tour" now seeds a genuinely lived-in workspace — a planned week with targets, time blocks bound to real lists, notes, subtasks, a decision, and calendar events.

Improved
•  Expanding a habit counter now animates in place instead of jumping the Agenda list.
•  Time blocks in the demo data respect their routine's days, so weekday blocks no longer appear on weekends.

Fixed
•  Time block dragging in TimeBox, and several habit interaction glitches.
•  The rating prompt could appear on top of a running tour or the paywall. It now waits for a sensible moment.

### 1.32 — 2026-07-26

• Check for updates from Settings, plus a quiet heads-up at launch when a new version is available.
• Smoother expand and collapse on habit counters.
• The list picker now opens with the search field at the top, ready to type — start typing to jump straight to a list.
• Repeat and list pickers size themselves to their contents, so there's no empty space or clipping.
• The list picker no longer changes height while you filter.
