Timefuel — Plan by Energy, Not Just Time Most to-do apps treat every task the same. Timefuel doesn't. It plans your day around your actual energy — so your hardest work lands in your sharpest hours, and the easy stuff fills the gaps. THE BIG IDEA Every task carries an energy cost: Light, Normal, or Demanding. Tell Timefuel your peak hours once, and Plan My Day builds your entire schedule around them automatically — no more willing yourself through deep work at 4pm because that's just when it landed on the list. WILL IT ACTUALLY FIT? Fit Check tells you the truth before you commit — accounting for sleep, work, and what's realistically left over, not just what's technically unscheduled. Star up to three Main Goals and Fit Check tells you plainly whether the things that actually matter will fit today. SEE YOUR WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE The Planner Clock is a 24-hour view of your day — tasks, sleep, work, and peak hours, color-coded on one dial, with your real free time shown right in the center. JUST SAY IT Tap the mic and talk naturally — "write the report, 30 minutes, remind me at 3" — and Timefuel builds the task for you. No forms, no typing. Works on iPhone and right on your Apple Watch. A REAL APPLE WATCH APP Not a glance-and-go companion — a full task manager on your wrist. Add tasks, run timers, track breaks, and get alerts, all synced automatically with your iPhone. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI "Hey Siri, add a task to Timefuel" — works straight from your Lock Screen or AirPods. LIVE, RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING Running a task timer shows a live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — always visible, always current. MORE THAN A LIST — Quick-add, bulk edit, tag, and reorder tasks effortlessly — A backlog for someday-tasks that doesn't clutter today — Recurring tasks for routines that repeat — Life Balance check-ins to see how your time adds up, not just your tasks — Export your data whenever you want it Timefuel isn't another place to write things down. It's a planner that actually understands how your day really works.

Verdict
