Weeklane Pro unlocks Task Lock, reminders, recurring tasks, connected calendars and additional shared projects. Try Pro free for 7 days with the monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free trial ends, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Without a subscription, the free weekly planner remains available. Personal weekly tasks stay on your device. Shared Projects use a private cloud identity so invited members can collaborate in real time. Weeklane is a deliberately simple visual planner and productivity planner: less setup than a full calendar, more context than an endless to-do list, and a clearer way to plan every week.
