## What is plottwist?

plottwist is a daily planner for moms, built for the days that never go to plan.

Most planners assume your day goes to plan, then punish you when it doesn't. Everything turns red. Everything rolls over. You end the day feeling behind on a list you never had a fair shot at.

plottwist starts from the opposite idea.

ONE TAP REBUILDS YOUR DAY
School calls at 2pm. The sitter cancels. You're just done. Tap Plot Twist, say what happened, and your whole schedule redeals itself around what actually matters. Your locked work hours stay put. Everything else bends. Nothing moves until you say so.

PLAN BY ENERGY, NOT JUST TIME
You had six free hours yesterday and still couldn't face the Costco run. That isn't laziness, it's an empty cup. In plottwist every task costs drops of energy, rest refills them, and you get a warning before you overdraw, not a guilt trip afterward.

NOTHING TURNS RED. EVER.
Tasks you can't get to don't become overdue. They wait on the Shelf, guilt free, until you have the energy for them. Bring anything back to your day whenever you're ready.

MEET JUNIE
Tell Junie your day in a sentence, in your own words, and she shapes it around your real hours. Brain-dump everything rattling around and she sorts it into a real day. She checks in gently, never scolds, and only inside the hours you choose. When the day changes, she rebuilds it with you.

THE INVISIBLE WORK, FINALLY COUNTED
The appointments you booked. The forms you remembered. The dozen things nobody asked you to track. Every week plottwist counts the mental load you carry and hands you a card that says what you already knew. It's a gentle read, never a scorecard.

YOUR CALENDAR, WITHOUT THE REWRITE
Already keep a calendar? plottwist reads events from every calendar on your iPhone, Apple, Google, or Outlook, and shows them on your day. Read only. Nothing in your calendar is ever changed.

BUILT FOR MOMS, BY A MOM
plottwist started at a cafe table in San Antonio, on International Women's Day, at a build day for women. One mom trying to hold a whole family's day in her head, building the thing she needed.

YOUR DAY STAYS YOURS
Your day lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud account, which we can't see into. Junie's full brain runs on our server, so what you send her is answered and discarded, never stored and never used to train AI models. You choose whether to turn it on, and you can erase everything we hold from Settings at any time. We never sell your data.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-21

Your first 7 days are free, and now the app actually says so.

The membership screen never mentioned the free trial. It does now: what you get, that nothing is charged until the trial ends, and that you can cancel any time in Settings.

Also fixed: in rare cases a new membership was not linked to your account, which could leave Junie saying you were not a member. plottwist now checks that link before anything is bought.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-19

Your calendar, only the parts you want.

Choose which calendars appear on your day, so the ones your family share with you can stay out of it. Settings, then Which calendars.

The calendar switch now does what it says. Turning it off asks whether to take the appointments already on your days off too, and turning it back on brings them back.

Appointments that run across several days now show up properly: a full day in Anytime, and the real hours on the days they start and finish.

Thank you to the person (JS) who reported the first two of these on launch day. Keep them coming!
