Plan your day on a clock. Time Pencil turns your schedule into colored arcs around a real analog dial, so one glance shows what is next, what is done, and how much of today is left. A VISUAL DAY PLANNER THAT LOOKS LIKE TIME A list hides the shape of a day. A clock shows it. Your morning, your meetings and your evening sit where they happen, and past hours fade so "now" always stands out. TIME BLOCKING IN ONE STROKE Draw an arc around the dial to block out focus time, a workout, a commute or dinner. Drag it to move it, stretch it to change the time, give it a name and a marker color. Add sticky notes and stickers for everything loose. YOUR CALENDAR, AROUND THE DIAL Time Pencil reads the calendars already on your iPhone and lays every event on the clock. Blocks you draw can be saved to your calendar, with an alarm when you want a nudge. ALWAYS A GLANCE AWAY • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • A Live Activity that counts down to your next block • StandBy turns a charging iPhone into a bedside day clock • Apple Watch app and complication • A Mac menu bar app with the same clock, on the same purchase PLAN THE WEEK AND THE YEAR Switch to Week to plan the days ahead, or to Year to mark trips, deadlines and birthdays across the months. MAKE IT YOURS A 12-hour or 24-hour dial, tinted and ruled paper, a live sky that follows the sun where you are, Zen mode, other time zones on the dial, and numerals you can shape. MADE FOR VISUAL THINKERS If to-do lists slide past you, a day you can see is easier to keep. Many people who time block, and many people with ADHD, plan with visual schedules for exactly this reason. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No account needed to start. Sign in only if you want your clock on all your devices. Time Pencil speaks 20 languages. FREE AND PRO Free forever: your calendar around the clock, drawing on today, widgets and Apple Watch. Pro adds drawing on any other day, Week and Year views, themes, the 24-hour dial, time zones, templates, sticky notes and more stickers. Pick a yearly plan, or pay once for Lifetime.
