NextPlan is a clean, fast planner for people who think in days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. Most to-do apps treat every task the same. NextPlan understands that planning is layered: today's tasks live inside this week, this week inside this month, and so on. Switch between time scales instantly and always see the bigger picture. WHY NEXTPLAN β’ Nested periods β Today, This Week, This Month, Quarter, Year. A task you set for today automatically shows in your weekly and monthly views. β’ One-tap status β cycle a task through To Do, In Progress, and Done with a single tap. β’ Priorities & tags β flag what's high priority, at risk, blocked, or delayed at a glance. β’ Defer with one swipe β can't finish this week? Push it to the next period. β’ Never lose a task β unfinished items roll forward so nothing slips through the cracks. BUILT FOR APPLE β’ Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. β’ iCloud sync keeps every device up to date. β’ Pin a floating panel on Mac and Vision Pro to keep your plan always in view. β’ Full keyboard navigation, swipe actions, and a focused, distraction-free design. Start with today. Plan for the year.
