Chrono Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chrono is built on a simple idea: planning your life should lower your stress, not add to it. No red badges shouting at you. No guilt over yesterday's unfinished list. Just a calm, focused space where your tasks, calendar, and goals live together — with an AI planner that doesn't just talk about your day. It acts on it. Plan. Focus. Achieve. AN AI PLANNER THAT ACTUALLY DOES THINGS (PRO) Tell Chrono what's on your mind in plain language and watch the plan take shape. In one chat, the AI Planner can: • Create new tasks, move them to better times, and mark them complete • Delete what no longer matters • Create and update goals as your priorities shift No copying suggestions back and forth. You ask, Chrono does — like a thoughtful assistant tidying your week while you talk. A CALENDAR YOU'LL ACTUALLY ENJOY • Day, multi-day, month, and year views — zoom from this afternoon to the whole year • Drag to move or resize anything, so replanning takes seconds • Overlay your Apple Calendar and see everything in one place Planning your week becomes a quiet two-minute ritual instead of a chore. TASKS THAT DON'T NAG • Capture everything in seconds, then let it go • Recurring tasks for the things that come back every day, week, or month • Priorities and categories that keep your list tidy In Chrono, an unfinished task is a plan to adjust — never a failure. GOALS THAT MOVE FORWARD Big ambitions become doable when they're connected to daily action. Link tasks to your goals and watch progress build steadily — small steps, clearly visible. FOCUS WITHOUT FRICTION Start a Pomodoro focus session and follow it right from your Lock Screen with Live Activities. Put your phone face down and stay in flow. A CALM WEEKLY RESET (PRO) Close each week with gentle insights into what you accomplished and what to carry forward. Reflection, not judgment — so every week starts with a clear head. EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT • Home screen widget for a glanceable view of your day • Siri shortcuts to add tasks hands-free • Face ID app lock to keep your plans private • Works fully offline — your plans are always with you CHRONO PRO The AI Planner and Weekly Review are part of Chrono Pro, available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Everything else — tasks, calendar, goals, focus timer, widget, and Siri shortcuts — is included from the start. Payment is charged to your App Store account, and subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Productivity tools often borrow their energy from anxiety — streaks to protect, alarms to silence, red numbers to clear. Chrono takes the opposite path. Calm is the whole point: when your plan feels lighter, you actually follow it.
