Boost your productivity with AI-powered timeboxing. Pareto AI is a simple daily and weekly planner. Give every task its own slot, and your day gets a structure you can actually keep. Reto, your AI-powered assistant, plans with you: say what's coming up and it lands in your timeline, with categories, lists and icons assigning themselves. Your calendar shows up as suggestions where nothing is planned yet, so an hour never gets booked twice — one tap turns a suggestion into a block. Tasks, habits and quick notes live in the same place, and statistics show where your time actually went. Everything stays on your iPhone. Reto thinks locally with Apple Intelligence; nothing is sent to outside services. Only your backup goes to your own iCloud, and only if you want one. Planning your day is free. Pareto AI Pro adds Reto, your calendar in the timeline, reminders for timeboxes, tasks and habits, in-depth statistics, unlimited habits, 800+ premium icons, dark mode and automatic iCloud backup. Monthly or yearly, charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Reto requires a device with Apple Intelligence. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://maxhinkel.de/paretoai/privacy-policy
