About

Fuel Planner

Read full description

Fuel Planner puts professional flight departments’ tankering maths in every pilot’s pocket. Just enter your route, fuel prices, reserve policy and (optionally) weight-penalty %, then tap Calculate. Behind the scenes a dynamic-programming engine compares unrestricted and ramp-fee-waiver–constrained strategies, optimising gallon purchases at every stop. You instantly receive: a one-paragraph “Pilot Action Brief” telling you exactly how much to uplift at each leg, and a detailed cost breakdown (fuel, ramp fees, weight-penalty) for audit or dispatcher review. Trips can be saved, shared as a single file, or re-imported later. Everything stays on-device; no network connection, log-in, or subscription required. Built natively in SwiftUI, Fuel Planner works offline, respects your privacy, and calculates results in a blink even for multi-leg itineraries.

Matrice

Matrice helps you decide what actually deserves your time, not just what's on your list. Built on the Eisenhower Matrix, every task you add is automatically placed into one of four quadrants based on its importance and urgency: Do Now, Schedule, Delegate, or Eliminate. No more guessing, no more overwhelming to-do lists, just clarity on what to focus on today. FOUR WAYS TO SEE YOUR WORK • Matrix view: see your tasks laid out across the four quadrants, as dots or as lists • Calendar: day, week, and month views to plan ahead • Kanban board: track progress from To Do to Done • Chains: link related tasks together into a single flow DESIGNED FOR REAL DAYS, NOT JUST TO-DO LISTS • Set your day's start and end time so planning fits your actual schedule • Distinct icons for daily tasks vs. long-term projects, so you never confuse the two • Reminders and notifications for the tasks that matter • Track your progress with simple, visual stats MAKE IT YOURS • Light, dark, or system appearance • Custom accent colors • Available in 23 languages Matrice is a private, personal planner — your tasks stay on your device. No clutter, no forced social features, just a clear system for deciding what to do next. Whether you're managing a busy job, a growing business, or simply your everyday life, Matrice gives you one simple question to ask about every task: is it important, is it urgent — and what should you do about it?
