Read full description

Set is a planner built around time. Every task has a length and a start time, so Today always shows when your day will finish. When the morning slips, one tap rebuilds the rest of it. TODAY, AS A TIMELINE Tasks, breaks and calendar events sit in one list, each with its start time. The overview at the top shows what is left and when you will finish; tap it for a countdown to what is next. Overplan and the finish time turns orange, and Set offers to move the overflow to the days ahead. Swipe down for the week strip and drag a task onto any day. ONE-TAP RESCHEDULE Running behind? Tap Reschedule and everything moves forward from now, in order. Locked tasks and breaks keep their times, the rest flow around them and your meetings, and nothing is shortened. Hold it to start from the next half hour or any time. ADDING IS QUICK Tap + for a new task, or drag one out of it into place. End a title with "45m", "tomorrow" or "at 2pm" and Set fills in the details, in all 20 languages. Ask Siri to add a Set task, or use Shortcuts and the Action button. Templates (Pro) give you 30 ready-made tasks. A TIMER THAT FITS REAL LIFE It counts the time you really spend, not rigid Pomodoro blocks. Run past your estimate and it counts on in red; finish, and the real minutes go to Stats (Pro), which compares them with your estimates. Add an overdue alarm and ambient sounds, and follow it on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, or in the Mac menu bar and a floating window. BLOCK THE DISTRACTIONS (PRO) On iPhone and iPad, App Blocker blocks chosen apps, or allows only the ones you need, while the timer runs, never in breaks. Or keep them blocked until Today is clear. Turning it off means typing a sentence, so impulse doesn't win. BREAKS AND ROUTINES Name breaks, lock their start time, repeat them, or let Auto Breaks add one after each task. Repeat tasks daily, weekly, monthly or your own way. A routine returns at its usual time, a missed one carries over or skips, and each keeps its streak. PROJECTS, STAGES AND INBOX Capture anything in the Inbox and sort it later. Split big work into projects and stages, with progress and deadlines that warn you when the work won't fit. Drop a task on another to make a subtask (Pro), and duplicate any task, stage or project. MADE FOR ADHD MINDS Time blindness is easier to fight when time is visible. On iPhone and iPad, Focus mode strips Today back to your list. Hold a task to select several and change them at once, and Sort mode takes a messy Inbox one question at a time. NOTES THAT DO MORE (PRO) Markdown notes with a formatting toolbar, preview and checklists. With Apple Intelligence, tidy messy notes or turn them into clear steps. YOUR CALENDAR AND REMINDERS (PRO) Events show in Today at their real times without being copied in; edit or skip them there. Your tasks can add events to any calendar, and Reminders import or sync both ways. SCAN, EXPORT AND BACK UP Photograph a handwritten list and Scan Tasks (Pro) turns it into tasks. Export any day, project or your Inbox as PDF, Markdown or Rich Text, or email it, and back up everything. APPLE WATCH Today's timeline on your wrist: complete, reorder, Reschedule and add tasks by voice. The timer runs on the watch even without your iPhone, and complications show what is next. EVERYWHERE, IN 20 LANGUAGES iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, synced through your own iCloud, no account needed. A real Mac app with its own window, menu bar and shortcuts. Widgets, Siri, Shortcuts and themes. FREE, WITH PRO WHEN YOU WANT IT Free: 3 projects, 8 tasks a day, 3 repeating tasks, Reschedule, the timer, Focus, Select and Sort, deadlines, widgets, Apple Watch, iCloud sync, export and backup. Pro removes the limits and adds notes, subtasks, templates, stats, Calendar and Reminders, App Blocker, Scan Tasks, AI rewriting, ambient sounds and more colors. Family Sharing covers your household. Not a medical device. Consult healthcare professionals for medical advice.

About

Banora

An app that puts one handwritten style note card right on your Lock Screen. You see it every time you pick up your phone, so the things you wrote down are the things you actually remember. "It was on my list..." You wrote a list, left it in a notes app, and then forgot the list along with everything on it. Does that sound familiar? Banora keeps your note on your Lock Screen, the place you look at dozens of times a day. ■ Start Writing Right Away When you open Banora, your card is already there with the keyboard ready. There are zero taps between opening the app and typing. Everything saves automatically, so you can close the app as soon as you're done and not worry about it. ■ Tick Things Off Without Opening the App Turn your note into a checklist and check items off directly on your Lock Screen. You don't need to unlock your phone or open the app. Each checked item gets a real line drawn through it and the text is dimmed, live on the card. It works well for a shopping list, today's tasks, or anything you want to get through. ■ Sixty Papers Choose from sixty papers in twelve hues, each with five depths from light to deep. Pick the one that looks best with your wallpaper. ■ Twelve Typefaces There are eleven handwriting styles that make your note feel like you wrote it by hand, and one clean sans serif if you prefer something simple. ■ Draw With Your Finger You can draw on the card too. Underline what matters, circle something, or add a small sketch. Choose your own ink colors, and they adjust automatically so your drawing stays readable on every paper. ■ Add Photos Add up to six photos to a note. Keep a picture of the exact product you need to buy, or a photo that simply makes you smile. ■ Note History Your past notes are saved in a history, so you can look back at what you wrote anytime. ■ Your Notes Stay Private Your notes, photos, and drawings never touch our servers. By default, your notes back up to your own private iCloud, and you can turn that off in the settings. No one but you can read your notes. ■ No Account Required You can start writing right after installing. There is no registration, and you don't have to enter any personal information. Sign in with Apple is available if you want it, but it's optional. ■ Contact Website: https://banora.dev Terms of Use: https://banora.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://banora.dev/privacy Banora is made by one developer in Germany, for everyone who writes things down and still forgets. Put your first note on your Lock Screen today.
