Meet CapyPlan: a gentle daily planner with a capybara who cheers you on. It starts from one idea: we assume that you don’t follow your plans. Life happens. Most planners punish you for it. Miss a task and it turns red. Skip a day and your streak resets. Eventually you quit the app and blame yourself. CapyPlan never does that. Nothing goes overdue, nothing resets, and Capy is glad to see you no matter how the day went. HOW IT WORKS Nothing goes overdue: unfinished tasks quietly float back to your basket, ready for whenever tomorrow feels possible. No streaks to break: routines repeat without chains, counters, or starting over from zero. Daily check-in: tell Capy your mood and energy, then plan the day you’re actually having. Capy cheers: finish something and Capy notices. Small wins, half-done days, showing up at all. Every cheer is written for you, on your phone, never generic. Ramble to Capy: talk out the pile in your head and it becomes a plan. No structure required. Too hard today? Rest it, make it gentle, or break it into steps you can start. Someday basket: anything without a start time waits safely, no deadline, until you’re ready. Focus timer: hide the noise and let Capy sit beside you until it’s done. Evening reflection: see what you did do, and end the day encouraged instead of behind. No sign-in, no account: your day stays on your phone, and so does Capy. THE YUZU BATH Every task you finish is a yuzu dropped into Capy’s bath. Rested a task? The intention still counts. Watch Capy sink into the steam, one yuzu at a time. ALSO INCLUDED Drag-and-drop calendar Apple Watch support Home and lock screen widgets Syncs with Apple Reminders WHAT PEOPLE SAY “This app is SO sweet.
