PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your to-do list tells you what to do. It never tells you when. TimeBlock turns your day into colored blocks on an hour grid from 6 AM to 10 PM, so one glance tells you what happens now, what comes next, and where your open hours actually are. Tap an hour, name the block, pick a color, done. Blocks grow taller the longer they run, so a three-hour deep-work session looks three times bigger than a quick standup. Overlapping blocks sit side by side instead of hiding each other, and a live line marks the current time on today's grid. No account, no feed, no clutter — just your day, drawn. WHAT YOU GET • Your whole day on one screen — every planned hour is a colored block whose height matches its length, so an unbalanced day is visible before it happens • A nudge before each block starts — set a lead time and be ready when deep work begins, not scrambling after it already did • Repeating blocks — plan "Gym 6 PM" once and it lands on the days ahead automatically, removable as a whole series in one tap • Weekly insights — hours planned per day, your busiest day, and how your week splits across colors like work, meals, and exercise • Copy a day you got right — duplicate today's whole layout onto tomorrow or next Monday instead of rebuilding it block by block • Notes inside every block — the address, the agenda, the workout lives inside the block instead of in another app PERFECT FOR • Anyone whose flat to-do list keeps growing while the day quietly disappears • Deep workers who block their mornings and defend them • ADHD brains that need to see time as shapes, not read it as text • Students and shift workers juggling fixed hours around open ones WHY NOT JUST USE A CALENDAR APP? Calendars are built for appointments with other people. TimeBlock is built for the sixteen waking hours that belong to you: big bold blocks, six colors, one focused day per screen, and a plan you can redraw in seconds when the day changes. No invites, no email addresses, no month view you never open. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your plans are stored only on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking — nothing ever leaves the device, and the app works fully offline. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) TimeBlock requires a purchase to unlock the planner: unlimited blocks every day, block reminders, repeating blocks, day copying, and weekly insights. Choose a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a lifetime one-time purchase — every option unlocks the same complete app. Tonight, plan tomorrow: open TimeBlock, tap 9 AM, and give your first hour a color.
