Plan the day you have, and let yesterday go. Taskful Day is a calm day planner for anyone whose to-do list has started to feel like a record of what didn't get done. Unfinished tasks move to today on their own when you open the app, and the Today list has no overdue badge, so mornings start with today's plan and nothing flashing red. Write it the way you'd say it Type "dentist tomorrow at 3pm" and the task lands on the right day at the right time. Natural-language capture understands eight languages. On iPhone and iPad you can also speak a task or capture one from Control Center. Four views of one day Start with the list. Pro adds three more views of the same day: the Day Clock, the Energy River, and the Day Map. Pro also brings a time-block grid for laying out your week.
