## What is PlanCoach?

Most of the time, procrastination is not caused by laziness, but by difficulty getting started. Once you do get started, momentum will often carry you through to the end.
Procrastination is only the surface symptom. The deeper reason is that our brains are naturally wired to:

* dislike vague tasks and not know where to begin
* fall into perfectionism, worrying about not doing it well, so it feels easier not to start at all
* prefer short-term pleasure, such as scrolling on the phone
* lose self-worth even further when procrastinating. At that point, the subconscious may start attaching labels like “I’m someone who always procrastinates,” leading to self-denial, inner friction, and a vicious cycle (it is very important not to label yourself this way!)

This little app can break down the tasks you do not want to face into
extremely specific steps with one tap. Every step is easy to complete, and each one comes with guiding text to reduce your psychological resistance.
Once the task is broken down, all you need to do is take the first step with its encouragement — after that, you may find it hard to stop.

# Key Features

1. Multiple Coaches
   The app comes with 4 carefully selected built-in coaches (Coach W specialises in helping you start, the cool and blunt big-sister coach is direct and well-balanced, Miss S is great at arranging chained tasks, and the NPC Mage excels at turning boring tasks into role-playing adventures).

2. Coach DLC
   Download the coaches you like on demand! A minister, a butler, a professional communication coach, a sleep guidance coach, even a chef coach… one app, endless ways to play.

3. Growth System (Beta)
   Make your real-world effort visible inside the app, so you can fall in love with the version of yourself that keeps improving.

4. Personal Profile
   Every time a coach creates a plan, they will refer to your personal profile to design steps that best fit your situation and write encouragement that motivates you most effectively.
   It also supports per-coach rewrites, so different coaches can see different versions of your profile. (For example, the “Master Chef” sees your food preferences, while the “Minister” sees that you are a Spanish princess.)

5. Navigation Mode (Focus)
   An ADHD-friendly focus mode: large text always visible (based on the GTD approach), progressive step disclosure, and course correction to help you slip naturally into a focused state.

6. Idea Capture (Not a TODO List)
   "Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them."
   Shake firmly on any screen to capture an idea instantly.
   You do not need to come up with brilliant ideas every time. But as long as ideas keep appearing and keep getting captured, those low-probability good ideas will eventually connect, grow, and turn into real change.

7. Lorebook
   Define a dictionary for your own world — a lorebook that packages complex instructions, technical terms, and personal SOPs into reusable entries.

8. Apple Watch Support!
   This is especially useful in situations like cooking, exercising, or walking, when it is not convenient to keep looking at your phone.

9. Iterative Revision
   A good plan is shaped through revision. PlanCoach’s powerful editing features let you adjust and refine it endlessly with AI until it truly fits.

### 5/5 — 改变未来从小事做起说的就是这个app

*2026-01-05*

使用了一天的感受是：它可以在无心理负担的情况下，解决时间管理中最痛的痛点，帮助做到最小关键行动。这是很多番茄钟app无法做到的，我们需要的不仅仅是25分钟倒计时的功能，而是一些可行的建议，小小的反馈激励。可以预见2026年能对我有多大的帮助。
每一个使用者都可以在细微处感受创作者的用心和温柔的力量，就是这样的力量才有水滴石穿的可能，感谢开发了这么好的产品。
想了很久写下这段话，不说期待就说相信吧，相信你会有更好的创意，相信你会有更美好的未来，既送给开发者，也送给每一个使用它的人。-Lisa

**Developer response:** 感谢Lisa，2026年会有很多非常强劲的功能上线，希望能助你变成更好的自己！

### 5/5 — 好用

期待能在mac上面快点使用以及同步。所以用mac主要写作业的人真的很需要。没关系，慢慢开发就可以了。辛苦辛苦(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

**Developer response:** 我有个想法可以的，但排的比较靠后，给我点时间 😢

### 5/5 — 好爱这个软件😭😭😭

太伟大了真的很好用…各种小设计都特别好..！本拖延症已经觉得有这个软件就可以完成任何事情了！做事情之前也没有很焦虑了。（ps其实偷偷觉得早早就充了终身会员真的好划算哈哈哈，相比其他软件真的挺便宜www）开发者也特别用心，基本每一条评论都会回复。支持🥹❤️！！

### 5/5 — 好用

### 5/5 — 希望继续保持

*2025-08-15*

挺有新意的也很好用，直接充了会员，希望公司能继续研发些新功能，优化一下答案

**Developer response:** 感谢鼓励！
会持续优化的，每周都会上新版本。
可以看下咖啡图标下面的路线图，目前还是在沿着路线图推进～

### 3/5 — 😭

*2025-07-31*

是只能使用两次的意思吗 前两次只是试试结果第三次就跳转需要付费了😭😭

**Developer response:** 你好，后台服务器、模型调用等都需要费用，为爱发电肯定是没法长久的。收取费用是为了保障App的后续开发品质。 另外需要这个App又实在有经济有困难的，只要说明情况我们也可以免费提供会员码。

另外还有个好消息：从1.1.0开始每次更新版本都可以有5次拆解，用来体验新功能，欢迎尝试～
