Microsoft Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. This app does not support Office 365 personal accounts (for example: name@outlook.com or name@hotmail.com). If you are not sure about your company’s subscription or the services you have access to, please contact your IT department. Planner provides a simple, visual way to organize teamwork. Planner makes it easy for your team to create new plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, chat about what you’re working on, and get updates on progress. -- Organize work visually -- Each plan has its own board, where you can organize tasks into buckets. You can categorize tasks based on their status or on whom they’re assigned to. To update the status or change assignments, just drag and drop tasks between columns. -- Visibility -- The My Tasks view provides a comprehensive list of all your tasks and their status across all your plans. When working together on a plan, team members always know who is working on what. -- Collaborate -- Built for Office 365, Planner lets you work together on the same tasks, attach captured photos directly to them, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps. With Planner, all your team’s discussions and deliverables stay with the plan and don’t get locked away across disparate applications. -- Works across devices -- Planner works across all your devices. And with Planner, everyone is always on the same page. Continue conversations and updates tasks while on-the-go or at your desk.

If you choose to take a photo to attach to a Planner task, the app will request permission to access your Camera app.

Some days the hardest part isn't doing the task — it's choosing which one to start. So nothing gets started. Unstuck removes the decision. Dump every task you've been avoiding into one list, tap "Pick one for me," and the app randomly locks you into a single task with a calm, full-screen 2-minute countdown. That's it. One task. Two minutes. No deciding. Two minutes feels small enough to begin — and beginning is the whole game. Tap Done when you start, or Skip to reshuffle. No streaks to break, no guilt, no nagging. Built for ADHD, executive-function challenges, and plain decision fatigue. • Brain-dump your avoided tasks in seconds • "Pick one for me" randomizer kills decision paralysis • Distraction-free 2-minute countdown to make starting trivial • Done / Skip — Skip re-picks and leaves the current task for later • "Got a minute?" or "got energy?" — pick a task that fits how you feel right now • Momentum stats show how many tasks you've actually completed • Recurring tasks for the things that pile up • One gentle daily nudge at a time you choose — quiet on days you've already started • 100% on your phone — no account, no login, no cloud, nothing tracked Free to use with up to 25 tasks, one recurring task, three "pick a task that fits" picks, this week's momentum count, and the daily nudge. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited tasks, unlimited recurring tasks, unlimited fitted picks, and the full momentum grid with streaks and all-time totals. 3-day free trial; cancel anytime. Stop staring at the list. Tap once and start.
