Busy B Planner is a warm, visual to-do app for people juggling everyday life. Brain-dump anything you need to remember into the Running list the moment it hits you, with no decisions required up front. Then file each task into a category, with optional subcategories, whenever you're ready, so capturing never gets in the way of doing. Add dates and times, flag what matters, repeat what comes back every week, and duplicate a task in one tap. Plan around Today and Tomorrow, and see your whole week at a glance on iPad. Everything syncs across your iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud. No account to create, no sign-up required. WHY BUSY B • Running list: capture anything, anytime, then sort it when you're ready • Capture your way: type it, say it with voice capture, or ask Siri: "Add pick up dry cleaning tomorrow to Household in Busy B." • Dates, times and reminders: including a heads-up before something is due • Today & Tomorrow views: see exactly what matters right now • Categories and subcategories: organise your way, drag and drop to arrange them, or sort alphabetically or by date added • Flag & file: swipe to flag your most important tasks or file them into a category • Repeating tasks: daily, weekly or monthly • Duplicate: copy a task, with its date, reminder, repeat and category, in one tap • iPad Command Centre: a full three-pane layout built for iPad, not a stretched iPhone app • iCloud sync: your tasks, everywhere, automatically • Nine hand-crafted themes, with dark mode BUSY B INTELLIGENCE • Daily briefing: open the app to a short, on-device read of what matters today, not just a count • One-tap filing: on-device intelligence sorts your Running list into the right categories, and you review before anything moves • Catch-up: a look at tasks you keep skipping, each with a suggested next step • Voice capture: tap the mic and just talk. Busy B adds the task with the date filled in and takes its best guess at the category Busy B Intelligence is built with Apple Intelligence. Every suggestion is generated on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing trains a model. Voice capture needs iOS 26 or later, and its date and category suggestions, like the briefing, filing and catch-up, need an Apple Intelligence-capable device with Apple Intelligence turned on. The rest of Busy B works on every supported device. BUSY B PRO Try Busy B Pro free for 7 days with the yearly plan. After that, choose monthly, yearly or lifetime.
