Anchor vs ThisDay

A place for your tasks, projects, and daily plan. Anchor organizes your day around focus blocks. Group tasks into a block, give it some time in your calendar, and work through them at your own pace. When plans change, move things around. CAPTURE YOUR TASKS Type a task as it comes to mind. Use Smart Dates to add a date as you type, or hold New To Do and talk through several things at once. Anchor turns what you say into tasks, with projects, dates, and urgency levels, privately with Apple Intelligence.* KEEP PROJECTS ORGANIZED Keep related tasks in projects. Add dividers to separate sections, notes to hold the details, and urgency levels to show what needs attention. Drag tasks into the order that works for you. PLAN WITH FOCUS BLOCKS Bring tasks into a block alongside your calendar events. Set up repeating blocks for the regular parts of your week. Focus on one block at a time, and move unfinished tasks forward when you need to. PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE Your tasks, projects, and focus blocks sync through your private iCloud. Anchor is also available on Mac, so you can continue there. CONNECTED TO YOUR DAY • Apple Calendar and Reminders sync • Widgets and Live Activity • Siri shortcuts • Repeating blocks and custom icons • Works offline • No separate Anchor account required Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. MADE INDEPENDENTLY Anchor is designed and built by an independent developer. No ads, no venture capital. Just an app that keeps getting better with feedback from the people who use it. *Voice capture requires Super Anchor and a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled, using a supported language.

Not someday. ThisDay. Most planners hand you a backlog. ThisDay hands you a day. Every task, note, voice memo, event and habit lands on a real date; not in a someday pile you scroll past for months. Open the app and there is one thing in front of you: today, in the order it happens. ONE DAY, EVERY KIND OF THING Tasks, events, notes, voice memos, photos and habits share one list, because they share one day. A habit at 10:00 sits between the 9:00 task and the 11:00 meeting, where it belongs. Same row, same swipe, same checkbox, whatever kind of thing it is. Your own calendars appear inline too, at the hour they happen, so a morning with a meeting in it never looks free. EVERYTHING CAN REMIND YOU Record a voice memo and put a reminder on it. Write a note and have it find you at 6pm. Your phone can already take a voice memo, it just can't tell you about it later. ThisDay can. HABITS THAT TICK THEMSELVES Point a habit at Apple Health and stop reporting on yourself. Steps, exercise minutes, active energy, sleep, the Watch's three rings, and workouts from running to yoga. Set the number you're aiming at; ThisDay watches for it and fills the ring as your day fills it. ThisDay only reads Health, never writes to it, and only the measurement each habit names. Nothing leaves your device. And a habit is never marked done because a sensor said so and you disagreed. No reading is ever "done"; if your watch was on the charger, the tick is still yours to make. Your tick always wins. APPLE REMINDERS, BOTH WAYS The Reminders lists you choose show up in your day, next to everything else, read-only: ThisDay never edits somebody else's row. And when you ask for it, the other direction. Tasks you make here are written back out as reminders, so they reach Siri, a Mac that doesn't run ThisDay, and anyone you share a list with. Switching it off takes the copies back out. NOTHING GETS BURIED Unfinished work follows you to today instead of quietly aging on a date you've already passed. Completed things can leave the list or stay in a folded section, your call. ONE RULER, FROM A DAY TO THE YEAR Slide the ruler at the top of your day out to a few days, the week, the month or the whole year, and tap any day to come back into it. The + is always one thumb away.
