About
Pioneer Planner builds a ministry schedule you can actually keep.
Enter what your month already holds, such as work, meetings, and family worship, and how you like to do your ministry. Choose a goal, and the app offers three schedules built around your life: balanced weeks, the fewest service days, or a front-loaded month that leaves the end open.
When something changes, tap Rebalance. The hours you still need are fitted into the time you have left, without piling them onto one day.
PLAN
• Month, week, and list views of your sessions and commitments
• Fixed, strong, and flexible commitments, so the planner knows what can give way
• Preferred days, protected days, session lengths, and evenings on or off
• Service group times, and ministry at a set time such as a Bible study or cart shift
• Time off across several days for conventions, holidays, or illness
• A buffer above your goal, so one missed session doesn't put it at risk
• Move any session by hand and keep it where you put it
TRACK
• Mark sessions done or missed with a swipe
• Credit hours from approved theocratic assignments, counted up to 55 hours a month
• A monthly report with your hours and Bible studies
• The service year from September to August against a 600-hour goal, with a suggested target for each month still ahead
DECIDE
• "Can I?" tells you whether a goal fits a month before you commit to it, for regular or auxiliary pioneering
• Try a what-if: clear a weekday, drop a commitment, or allow evenings, and see the answer change
STAY ON TOP OF IT
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with hours left and your next session, and a Done button to log it
• Log by voice with Siri, or from the Shortcuts app
• Reminders before each session and to log one afterward
• Reads your iPhone calendar so appointments are worked around, and can add your sessions to it
• Share your schedule with your ministry partners and plan your days together
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and nothing to sign in to
• Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud
• No ads, no tracking, no data collection
Available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
