Plan&Rip

Read full description

Plan&Rip is the sticky-note wall, in your pocket. If you've ever organized a project on a real wall — moving paper notes between days, sliding the urgent one closer, ripping one off when it's done — you know there's something a list will never replace. The physical motion is the planning. The wall is the calendar. Plan&Rip brings that feeling to iPhone. — THE WALL — Five zones: • Upcoming or Important — for things that matter but aren't dated • Current Week — what you're doing now • Next Week — what's coming • Following Week — what's after that • Unsorted — the parking lot Each week is a Monday-to-Friday grid with nine snap points: one for every day, plus the overnight slots in between. Drag a sticky into the slot it belongs to — the snap is magnetic. — THE STICKIES — Tap + to add. Each sticky has a project, a task, a date, and a color — four pastel colors to organize your week however you like. Drag a sticky from anywhere to anywhere. Long-press to pick it up and feel it peel off the wall. Drag across day boundaries and you'll feel a tick at every snap point you cross. Let go and it jiggles into place. — RIP TO COMPLETE — When a task is done, tap the sticky to open it, then drag its top-right corner downward. As you pull, you feel the paper resist — fibers giving way one by one — and the tear opens along a torn-paper edge. Pull past the threshold and it rips in half. Gone. — THE FEEL — Built around Core Haptics, not generic vibration. Every interaction has its own texture: • Peel from the wall on pickup • A tick for each grid line you cross • A settle when you drop a sticky • Progressive tear resistance while ripping • A sharp snap at the moment of separation The haptics aren't decoration. They're the second half of the planning interface. — WHAT IT ISN'T — Plan&Rip is not a project management tool. It doesn't sync with calendars. It doesn't tag, assign, or report. It doesn't try to scale to teams or quarters. It's a calm planning surface for the next few weeks of your life. That's the entire pitch. — PRIVACY — Plan&Rip stores your stickies locally on your device. No tracking, no analytics, no account, no cloud sync. Nothing leaves your phone.
