Inspired by paper planners, Finalist shows your calendar, tasks, notes, reminders and weather forecast in one beautiful timeline. It even pulls in your Journal Suggestions and Activity Rings to keep you inspired. Gorgeous themes make planning a joy, not a chore. Finalist is built for people who finish things, no complex workflows or productivity theater. NOTES, IN YOUR PLANNER Your planner remembers what you wrote. A dedicated Notes tab gives you notebooks, tags and search. Keep native notes that sync over iCloud, or connect a folder of plain markdown files, including your Obsidian vault, and edit them in place. Tasks inside your markdown files become real Finalist tasks: dated, tagged and checkable anywhere in the app. YOUR DAY, ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app puts your whole day one glance away: events, tasks, reminders and habits in one scrollable view, topped by a Now card that always knows what matters next. Check off pinned lists from the wrist, grocery list included, and add tasks by keyboard, scribble or dictation. Complications and a Smart Stack widget round it out. (Requires watchOS 26.) DESIGN YOUR DAY Choose between two Daily designs: Daybook, the classic stacked layout, or Broadsheet, a newsprint-inspired look that shines on iPad and Mac. Rearrange sections with the layout editor and save your own presets. On the rebuilt Timeline, drag tasks onto the grid to sketch your day in pencil, then commit when it's real. "I've tried dozens of planning apps, this is the one that finally works." - Beta user "The integration of Reminders and Lists reduces the apps I need daily and makes planning actually fun." - Beta user Built with native Apple technologies: no accounts to create, syncs over iCloud, supports Family Sharing, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Mac. Full database backup, export and import via JSON and OPML. Finalist is a love letter to paper planners. Give it a try, it feels great :) Purchasing information To get the full functionality in Finalist you will need to either purchase a subscription or a one time In-App Purchase for Lifetime access.

Floor Plan Studio

Features
Read full description

Turn a room scan into a clear 2D floor plan, an inspectable CAD 3D model, and an optional detailed Real 3D capture, privately on your iPhone. Floor Plan Studio is built for surveyors, architects, designers, renovation teams, and anyone who needs a practical spatial record without uploading camera or LiDAR data to a service. CAPTURE THE SPACE • Scan one room or coordinate a multi-room layout with Apple RoomPlan. • Choose Room Scan for a measured 2D plan and clean CAD 3D. • Choose Real 3D for detailed LiDAR surfaces with an optional captured-color result. • Create a Photo Tour from separate directional photographs and linked viewpoints. INSPECT AND REFINE • Review dimensions in a navigable 2D plan. • Select walls and furniture in CAD 3D. • Verify or correct furniture measurements, move and rotate objects, add spacing dimensions, and undo the last edit. • Reopen saved scans, add rooms, and keep project notes and an optional map position. EXPORT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW • Create PDF technical drawings and PNG plan images. • Export metric DXF, IFC 4, normalized JSON, and USDZ. • Import compatible DXF and Floor Plan Studio IFC files. • Share or restore complete .floorplanstudio project packages. • Open USDZ in AR Quick Look and compatible Apple spatial workflows. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Room, camera, LiDAR, photo, note, and optional location data stay on your device unless you explicitly export or share a file. Floor Plan Studio does not require an account or cloud upload. DEVICE SUPPORT Room Scan and neutral Real 3D require a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro. Detailed color Real 3D requires iPhone 15 Pro or a newer Pro model. Photo Tour, the Library, imports, exports, and saved-project viewing remain available on supported non-LiDAR iPhones. IMPORTANT LiDAR and RoomPlan measurements are estimates. Always verify dimensions before construction, legal, safety-critical, or purchasing decisions. Floor Plan Studio is not a substitute for a certified survey or professional judgment.
