Plan together. Keep your own space. Prose Daily Planner helps couples and families coordinate without burying each other in irrelevant to-dos. Share a plan for "Family Vacation" while each member keeps their own private packing list. Everyone sees the big picture; no one sees clutter that isn't theirs. The app is built around four features that spell out P-R-O-S-E: P — Plans Projects with sub-tasks: steps, supplies, and headcount. Great for home renovations, school projects, crafts, or any goal with moving parts. * AI Planner: type a prompt — "plan a bathroom tile backsplash" or "road trip to Yellowstone with kids" — and the app generates your steps and supplies automatically. No templates to browse, no drop-down menus. Open-ended, so it works for anything. Sharing is precise: choose which group members see each item, and set edit rights per item. Members can attach their own private sub-tasks to a shared plan without cluttering anyone else's view. R — Repeating Recurring tasks with flexible scheduling — from simple (daily, weekly) to precise ("every other month on the 3rd Saturday"). Enable or skip notifications per series; track completions in history. O — Other One-time events and notes. Attending a party, helping a neighbor move, or anything without a recurrence. Color-code and filter to keep your view clean. S — Shopping Lists with weblinks to your preferred stores. Archive items when done, then revive them in a tap — handy for recurring purchases like weekly groceries. —— Free for solo use. No account required, no internet needed, and works fully offline.
