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. Useful for travel, or for anyone who wants a private planner with no cloud strings attached. Subscriptions (Duo or Family tiers) unlock group sharing and the AI Planner. Invited members join at no cost to them. Download free. No sign-in needed to explore.
