About

This Week

Features
Read full description

This Week is a calm, minimal weekly planner that keeps your tasks organized on a single page. Designed for people who want a readable, focused plan rather than a cluttered database, it gives you a clean view of the seven days in front of you—without the stress. No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just warm paper, bold headers, and your week at a glance. PLAN YOUR WEEK WITH CLARITY • Weekly Paper View: Organize your tasks vertically. See what is happening today, look back at the past few days, and easily plan ahead. • Collapsible Days: Focus on the day you are working on. Open the active day and keep the rest of the week visible as quiet, collapsed rows. • Calm Rollover: When you open the app on a new day, unfinished tasks can be rolled over to today with a single tap. No red flags, overdue alerts, or penalty-style notifications. CAPTURE TASKS FAST • Natural Language Input: Type ideas quickly (e.g., "Run 9km Friday 7am weekly #health"). The app automatically parses days, times, and categories into confirmable chips. • Area Organization: Separate your schedule using custom life areas (work, home, health) with distinct color dots. Search and filter by area or completion state. • Flexible Reminders: Set local notifications in context without complex settings. Get a morning planner reminder or a calm evening nudge. 100% PRIVATE, LOCAL, & OFFLINE • Your Data is Yours: Every task, reminder, and setting is stored locally on your device. • No Network Access: This Week works entirely offline. Plan your schedule on a flight, in the subway, or in areas with poor reception. • No Tracking: No analytics SDKs, no behavioral trackers, and no advertisements. Your privacy is complete. ONE SIMPLE UNLOCK Try the full experience free for 7 days. After the trial ends: • The current week view, task completion, and basic list additions remain free forever. • Gated features (reminders, recurrence engine, search, natural language input, and other weeks) can be unlocked with a single, one-time lifetime license. No recurring subscriptions. REQUIREMENTS • Compatible with iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple at none against This Week's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
