Able to Plan is the planner that thinks along with you. Tasks, appointments and reminders live in one place, so school, work and the rest of your life fit calmly together. Not a fuller calendar, but a day that fits. Your appointments are your fixed anchors, and you plan your tasks calmly around them. When your head is full, Pip thinks along with you. YOUR DAY The Planner shows what matters right now. Your next appointment or task sits at the top. If something was left behind, you sort it out in a few taps. Swipe a task to complete it or move it to tomorrow. PIP THINKS ALONG Pip looks at your tasks and your plan, helps you decide what comes first and moves open tasks to days with room. Ask what to do first, have your day organized or break a big task into small steps. EXAM WEEK, WITHOUT THE STRESS Is there an exam or test in your calendar? Pip spots it and suggests study sessions spread across the days before, so you never have to cram the night before again. HABITS Build routines at your own pace, like reading, exercise or getting up early. Watch your streak grow for each habit and see your rhythm over the past weeks. CALENDAR See your appointments by day, three days, week or month. Connect your school or work schedule via iCal and see everything in one place. ON IPAD TOO On iPad you get more room: three days side by side, with your week goal and Someday list in a column next to them. Drag tasks to another day. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Reminders with notifications and separate lists for groceries, home, school or work • Recurring tasks and appointments • Scan a paper planner or schedule and turn it into tasks • Quickly speak in a task when typing isn't handy • Shared lists and calendars for your partner, family or team • A short check-in at the end of the day and a weekly review • Streaks, XP and badges • Widgets on your home screen • Five color themes, from Candy to Linen, in light and dark WEB AND MOBILE Plan your week on your laptop and check your day on the go on your phone.
