Day Planner helps you plan how to use a block of time, figure out what you have time for, and keep yourself on track with the plan. It's perfect for - travel itineraries - study plans - business presentations/meeting planning - complex meal cooking plans - interval or circuit training workouts - set lists for musicians You make a plan by setting the start time or the end time, and then add your tasks and the app calculates the start time for each task. If you set a fixed end time then the app calculates working backwards so you know what time you need to get started. When you reach the plan's scheduled start time Day Planner shows which task is the current one with a countdown timer. You can optionally turn on notifications for the beginning of each task so that you don't need to have the app running to keep on track. Once you've made a plan you can re-use it again and again and copy it to make variations. Editing your plan is super-quick with custom autocompletion to help you add tasks you've used in other plans by typing just a few characters. Your data is automatically and instantly synced via iCloud so you can switch between your iPhone and your iPad and your plans will always be in sync. You can have up to two plans for free, and when you want more you can unlock that limit with an in-app upgrade with pay-what-you-want pricing.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

52 Week Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Planner has 75 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Day Planner's written reviews are positive against 75% of 52 Week Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Day Planner ships an update every 4 months, 52 Week Planner daily. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
