Planny is the day planner that brings your Reminders and your Calendar together into one calm day. Ten years on the App Store, featured by Apple many times and nominated for “Apps of the Year” – and completely rethought in version 27. No second system to maintain: Planny is built directly on Apple Reminders and Calendar. Whatever you plan here is everywhere – on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, via iCloud, with no account to create. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Tasks and events sit on one chronological timeline with time markers. Completed items glide away; overdue tasks move to today with a single tap. The week strip expands into a full calendar whenever you need it. CAPTURED IN SECONDS Type a title, pick “Today · Tomorrow · Weekend”, done. Time, duration, priority, repeat, subtasks, notes, attachments and location are one tap away – no forms, no submenus. Several things in mind? “Create & next”. LISTS THAT FEEL LIKE FOLDERS Your lists appear as folders in their color, with the first tasks peeking out as cards. Projects show their progress as a ring, and the Inbox catches everything that doesn’t have a place yet. FOCUS TIMER One task, one ring, full concentration – with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Extend, pause, finish. On Apple Watch too. HABITS Daily or weekday-based routines with streaks, right inside your day – no extra app needed. PLANNY INTELLIGENCE One button, a stack of suggestions: relieve overfull days, schedule old-but-important tasks, break big tasks into steps, rediscover forgotten ones. The Planning Table lays out your week, the Workshop turns a task into subtasks. Optionally, Planny reads HRV, sleep and resting heart rate from Health and adapts its suggestions to how your day actually looks. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Planny drafts ideas for you – entirely on device, nothing goes to the cloud. STATISTICS THAT MOTIVATE Streak, Planny Score, activity heatmap, done vs. added, focus minutes, your most productive hours – plus a short sentence about what Planny sees. Shareable daily recap included. APPLE WATCH Today, Upcoming, Habits, Focus and Statistics on your wrist. Create tasks by dictation and add complications to any watch face. WIDGETS & MORE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, location reminders, documents, multi-select, a trash with 30-day restore, backup & import from Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, iCalendar, CSV and Markdown. MAKE IT YOURS Pick a wallpaper or use your own photo – blur, dimming, saturation and tint are yours to set. Subtle, custom-composed sounds and haptics, both optional. Everything animated, smooth up to 120 Hz. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No Planny account, no third-party servers. Everything lives in your iCloud account. Period. Everything essential is free. Planny Premium extends Intelligence, statistics ranges, habits, attachments and wallpapers – monthly, yearly, lifetime or for the whole family.
