Mind Your Now is the task app for your work and your household. It puts what matters today up front and holds everything else until it's time. FOUR ZONES, ONE QUESTION Every task sits in one of four zones: Critical Now, Opportunity Now, Over the Horizon and Parking Lot. One question decides what goes in Critical Now: would I stay late to finish this? Keep Critical Now to five or fewer and the day stays doable. START DATES, NOT A WALL OF DUE DATES Tasks show up on the day you plan to start them, so today's list stays short and nothing gets lost. FINISH IT AND SEE IT Check off a task and a red pen stroke draws through it. Changed your mind? Undo. ONE APP FOR THE HOUSEHOLD Share grocery lists and chores with your household, and see who added what. Habits and focus timers live here too. Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. WORKS OFFLINE, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Your tasks, habits, chores, grocery lists and timers are stored on your device and work offline. They sync between your devices when you're online. Kaia, sync, calendar connections and sign-in need a connection. Export an encrypted backup any time. KAIA, IF YOU WANT HER Kaia is an optional AI planning assistant. She can plan your day with you, remember your routines and preferences, and talk by voice on paid plans. When she tidies your list on her own, she signs each change and leaves an Undo. The four zones and the Going Home Test come from Michael E. Linenberger's Master Your Now method.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Daily Routine Planner at 4.6 against Mind Your Now's 3.7. Daily Routine Planner also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 3). Mind Your Now's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Routine Planner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Mind Your Now sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Daily Routine Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Routine Planner has 3.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Daily Routine Planner's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mind Your Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
