## What is Project Planner?

Most projects stall not because you lack motivation — but because "finish the project" is too vague to ever act on. You open a blank to-do list, dump in a dozen tasks, and within a week it's either abandoned or buried under newer ones.

Milestones is built around a different idea: every project deserves structure, and structure is what makes finishing possible.


A smarter way to plan
Milestones introduces a three-tier hierarchy — Projects, Milestones, and Tasks — that mirrors how real work actually happens. A project isn't one thing; it's a series of phases. Each phase has its own focus, its own deadline, its own definition of done. Milestones makes that structure explicit so you always know where you are and what's next.


Break goals into phases
Every project is divided into named milestones — the chapters of your work. Whether you're building an app, writing a thesis, planning an event, or launching a side project, milestones give you a natural way to chunk the journey into stages you can actually complete one at a time.


Track progress visually
Each milestone has its own live progress bar showing task counts and completion percentage. At a glance, you can see how much you've done, how much is left, and which phases are moving. No more guessing whether you're close or far.


Focus on what matters right now
Mark one milestone as Active. It pins to the top of your project, pulses with a live indicator, and becomes your single point of focus. Everything else stays visible but secondary — giving you clarity without losing context.


Organized from every angle
Milestone statuses — Draft, Planning, In Progress, In Review, Released — give each phase a clear stage in the lifecycle. Tasks are sorted into To Do, In Progress, and Done sections automatically. Tag tasks to group related work across a project. Store unscheduled ideas in the project backlog so nothing falls through the cracks.


Designed to look as good as it works
Give every project its own icon — choose from a curated set of symbols or use your own photo — paired with a custom color. Your project list becomes a visual dashboard that's satisfying to open every day.


Manage projects with AI
Milestones includes a built-in MCP server — connect Claude and other AI agents on your Mac to create projects, add tasks and move milestones forward just by asking. Your project planner, now AI-native.


Built for iPhone, iPad, Mac & Apple Vision Pro
On iPad, Mac and Vision Pro, Milestones expands into a full three-column layout: your project list, milestone list, and task list all visible at once. On iPhone, everything is one tap away. Sync seamlessly across both with iCloud.


Whether you're a developer shipping a product, a student finishing a dissertation, a designer managing client work, or anyone with a goal worth finishing — Milestones gives your projects the structure they've always needed.

### 5/5 — Really like this app

*2026-07-26*

I bought this app based on a posting from the developer in an Apple related subreddit. I was looking for something to manage projects and my daily tasks. I had been using Things, but I liked this much better. I really like the interface. It is intuitive and easy to use.  The iCloud synch is nice too. I manage the projects on my Mac, but I can make updates or just check the status on my iPad or iPhone. 5 star recommendation from me.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-06-15*

It is a consumer-friendly project management tool that I initially used out of curiosity to see if it would improve my ability to manage my life. It did. I rarely write reviews, I don’t see the point unless I’m trying to convince others to use the app. In this case, I am writing this because I need to convince others to use this app!! 

If you’re doing jobs around the house; multi-step tasks; or juggling several things simultaneously that are dependent on priority, variables, previous tasks, or dates then you will be able to use this. I started using this app two weeks ago whilst I had 2 weeks between jobs and I have been unbelievably efficient with the time I’ve allocated to get things done at home. Yassine is also a very responsive developer and will respond to feedback, requests and requests for information on how to use the app. 

I could not encourage someone to use this app more.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to write this!
Honestly made my day :)

I'm super happy the app is helping you with your productivity, that was my goal! Please keep the feedback and ideas coming anytime! :)

### 4/5 — No Way to Print

*2026-06-14*

I like the features of this app. Two things are fatal flaws for me. There is no way to print your to do lists for meetings and handouts, and the on screen text is too big, no way to adjust.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for the feedback!

The screen text issue on iPad will be fixed with the next update, and I added the printing feature to the roadmap, so you can expect it in the next few weeks.

I hope these updates will make your experience even better once they're out there! :)

### 4/5 — 待办事项无法中文输入

*2025-02-12*

app汉化不够完整，有些无法显示中文。待办事项中添加无法输入中文

**Developer response:** Hello there, 

thanks for the feedback! The chinese input was fixed in version 1.1.5, and the chinese translations were also fixed in 1.1.6 - Hope it is better now! If not, feel free to contact me with more details by tapping on Settings in the app, and then on "Contact me" :)
---
Chinese translation:
你好呀，

謝謝您的回饋！中文輸入已在 1.1.5 版本中修復，中文翻譯也已在 1.1.6 版本中修復 - 希望現在更好了！如果沒有，請隨時透過點擊應用程式中的“設定”，然後點擊“聯絡我”來聯絡我以獲取更多詳細資訊

### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2025-02-12*

Simple, straightforward and easy to use. Highly recommend for organization enthusiasts

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that the app’s simplicity is helping you stay organized. Keeping things straightforward and intuitive is exactly what we aim for. Happy organizing!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective!

*2025-02-11*

Love the simplicity of app. It has just what I need for tracking milestones for my personal projects!

### 1/5 — Where is the LIFETIME plan you tempt us with?

*2025-02-11*

LIFETIME is supposed to be offered for free right now 10 Feb 2025 (via AppRaven - check it out), but no lifetime option exists at all, at any price. Seems developer has done this previously. 

In future, I will be giving a 1-star rating to any app that falsely offers a plan that doesn’t exist.

**Developer response:** Hello, the free lifetime offer was a limited, one-time offer that was offered via AppAdvice for 24 hours only. You probably tried to get the promotion before/after that time. Additionally, this was my first free lifetime offer, and I never posted it on AppRaven.

### 5/5 — Flashback, not easy to use.

*2025-02-11*

Flashback, not easy to use.

### 3/5 — Cool side project for side projects!

*2025-02-04*

Saw this app on reddit and I gotta say it's great! I've used Trello in the past but it was way too bulky for my side projects and it was hard to focus the tasks somehow - perfect for my side projects :) keep it up! looking forward to the macOS app and project notes!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that Milestones is a great fit for your side projects. It's feedback like yours that inspires me to keep improving. I'm excited to share that the macOS app and project notes are on the horizon. Your support means a lot, and I'm grateful to have you on this journey. Keep creating amazing projects!

### 5/5 — Sweet Successor of DoDay

*2024-12-18*

Absolutely astounded by the development of the dev’s apps. This is a new successor of DoDay which I use for all my important tasks. This is somewhat of a branch for project development. The idea and execution is intuitive just like DoDay. It’s simple and to the point. Has lots of potential for those who need to jot ideas on the go. Very well done and worth your while to check it out.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! Really glad you're enjoying my apps and putting them to good use! :)
