It's the planner that schedules your whole week for you β€” built for anyone who struggles to start, focus, or keep up. Try everything free for 7 days β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” all without opening the app. Every action works as a Shortcut too, so you can wire GoodPlans into your own automations.
