iPlan is a planner with the feel of paper. Record to-dos, arrange plans, and write notes right on your calendar. Customize the paper background, colors, and patterns just like a paper journal, so every entry feels closer to writing by hand. # Plan Each Day Like You Would in a Journal Choose from multiple background colors and dotted paper styles to make planning feel less like filling in a cold spreadsheet. Highlighter-style plan bars and checkboxes turn your daily schedule into a clear, beautiful digital journal you'll want to keep using. # Calendar Plans | See the Big Picture and Stay on Track Stop piecing together dates from scattered to-dos. Swipe across the calendar to create a plan spanning multiple days, then see at a glance how much time an important goal takes and how far you've progressed. Mix and match plan bar styles to make different schedules look like charming journal stickers. Even a busy calendar stays easy to scan instead of becoming a wall of clutter. # Every Plan Is a Task List | Reach Your Goal Step by Step Break each plan down into a concrete task list. Tap a plan to see what needs to be done. Every task you check off moves the plan one step forward. Whether you're preparing for an exam, finishing a project, or organizing a trip, you can turn a vague goal into clear next actions. # Four Quadrants | Do What Truly Matters First Too much to do and not sure where to begin? Sort tasks by importance and urgency with the four quadrants. Spend less time deciding and more time on what truly matters. If the default categories don't fit the way you think, rename all four quadrants and build a priority system that works for you. # Quick Notes | Capture Ideas Without Worrying About Losing Them Save inspiration, journal entries, study notes, and extra planning details whenever they come to you. Insert images and adjust bold text, paragraph spacing, line spacing, and more to keep everything clear and easy to read. Automatic multi-version backups preserve your edits, and you can restore an earlier version whenever you need it. # Tracking | See How Every Effort Adds Up Habits are more than simply “done” or “not done.” For each goal, choose any combination of Check-ins, Timer, and Custom Metrics: - Use check-ins to record whether you stayed consistent - Use the timer to see how much time you invested - Use custom metrics to track changes in weight, measurements, height, workout reps, training weight, and more Set a completion rule for every habit, such as once a day, twice a day, four times a week, or N times a month. Whatever your routine looks like, you can track it your way instead of forcing it into a fixed template. # Reviews | Discover Your Rhythm Through Your Records Review your progress by day, week, month, or year. See not only how much you accomplished, but also how your state changed, where your time went, and which habits are worth continuing. For daily reviews, use cute animal stickers to capture how the day felt. Looking back makes each day's mood and experiences easy to see, while keeping reflection light and warm. iPlan will keep refining the journal-planner experience, combining the tactile charm of paper with the efficiency of digital planning to help you organize your time, manage tasks, and record your life more naturally.
