Two days. Two nights. Three off. Your week has never looked like a week. Dune Seven is a daily planner for shift work, rosters and ADHD brains, planned around the energy you have, never the guilt. Made for shift workers, ADHD brains, parents carrying the mental load, veterans and anyone whose days do not line up neatly. Start each day by choosing how you are: Flow, Low or Focus. No wearable, no sensor, nothing to charge. You already know your energy. Your plan makes room for the day you actually have. YOUR ROSTER REMEMBERS YOUR ENERGY Set Low once on a night shift and every night shift after it opens Low. A repeating routine remembers the energy for its days. Nothing is measured and nothing is decided for you. You know your energy. We keep it. BOOKMARK Bookmark holds your place inside a task, step by step, so you pick up where you left off instead of starting over. Your place held, whenever life interrupts. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A home screen widget with today’s date, your energy pills and your three priorities. Tick a priority done without opening the app. HOME β€œWhat matters most today?” Three priorities, no more. A rolling Today at a glance timeline. β€œTending to yourself” cards for water, movement, nutrition and reading. A β€œTaking care of” task card that lets a task wait β€œFor another time” without shame. Pick any day on the strip and set its energy: past, today or a day still to come. Dune Seven never paints a future day. You may. YOUR WEEK Monday first, one card per day. Empty days simply read β€œOpen space”. Today is always marked in ink. YOUR MONTH Every day in your own energy colours. Your repeating routines marked on the days they land. Two toggles, Energy and Repeating routines, so you see the month the way you need to. β€œYour month, gently” shows the shape of the month before the month arrives. I’M STUCK AND THE FOCUS TIMER Tap I’m Stuck on any task and the task is broken into small, doable steps. Thirty minutes of Focus, with Pause, Resume and Done early. REPEATING ROUTINES (PRO) Built shift-worker first. My roster: every N days from a first date, for rosters that ignore the calendar week. Weekdays: pick your days, every week or every two weeks. Stop a repeating routine any time; past days stay as they were. No β€œthis one or all?” dialogs, ever. JOURNAL AND CAPTURE Notes, a shopping list and a journal. Get it out of your head before it costs you. HELP Six plain cards inside Settings, and admin@duneseven.com.au when you need a human. FREE, PRO AND LIFETIME Free is a complete planner, with three Bookmarks and three I’m Stuck a month. Pro adds unlimited Bookmark, unlimited I’m Stuck, Repeating routines, the full Month and your complete history. Pro is A$69.99 a year. Lifetime is one payment of A$129.99 until 31 December 2026, then A$179.99. WHO BUILT IT Dune Seven began as a paper planner in 2019. It was built by a mother, a Navy veteran and an emergency services worker who has lived on a roster for an entire working life, planning around night shifts and an ADHD brain. It was developed in a personal capacity and is not connected to, affiliated with or endorsed by any employer. Human-driven, not AI-bound. The decisions stay yours. Something not right? Write to us at admin@duneseven.com.au. We lead from the front. We keep Dune Seven human. We are human because you are.
