Add your tasks. GoodPlans plans your entire week — automatically. No more staring at a blank planner. If you struggle to start, stay focused, or keep up with deadlines, GoodPlans does the hard part for you. Just add what you need to do, set a deadline, and your daily plan builds itself in seconds. It's the planner that schedules your whole week for you — built for anyone who struggles to start, focus, or keep up. Try everything free for 7 days — unlimited tasks, no commitment, no credit card. After the trial, keep planning free with up to 5 tasks at a time. AUTOMATIC SCHEDULING Tell GoodPlans what you need to do and when it's due. It builds an optimized daily plan — prioritizing what's urgent and breaking big tasks into focused sessions. No manual planning. No blank-page paralysis. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI & SHORTCUTS Just ask. "Hey Siri, start my next GoodPlans session" and you're working. Add a task, restart a session you cut short, or ask what's coming up next — all without opening the app. Every action works as a Shortcut too, so you can wire GoodPlans into your own automations. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE GoodPlans suggests, you decide. Start a focus session on anything, anytime — even off-plan. Switch tasks mid-session. Did something off-schedule? Log it in one tap. The plan bends around your life, not the other way around. ONE-TAP RESCHEDULING Day went sideways? Tap once and GoodPlans reshuffles everything to the best open slots. No guilt. No starting over. TIME OFF, WHENEVER YOU NEED IT Taking the rest of the day, the weekend, or the whole week? Pick a preset or set your own end date and GoodPlans keeps that time clear, then works your tasks around it. Rest without falling behind. FOCUS TIMER Work in focused blocks with built-in breaks. Adjust the work and break lengths to fit your attention span. LIVE ACTIVITY ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN See your current task and a live countdown right on your lock screen — glance, stay on track, and avoid the phone rabbit hole. STAY ON TRACK Gentle reminders when it's time to focus, plus deadline alerts so nothing sneaks up on you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN · NO ADS Everything stays on your device. No account needed. No ads, ever.
