The app interface is in Russian. If you don't read Russian, this one isn't for you yet. dot. is external structure for a head that holds too much: studies, work, a side project, health. Say what's on your mind — out loud or in text — and it becomes tasks with dates. Anything created can be undone with one tap. dot. notices before you do: when a task has slipped three times, it says so and asks whether you still need it. It names the fact and leaves the decision to you. A ten-minute conversation produces your own set of rules, drawn from how you actually work — not advice from a book. Your week adapts to you, not the other way around. And progress counts how quickly you come back after a break, not how long you went without one. Not a habit tracker. External structure for your mind.

Planr gives you one place to see all your shifts, track your hours, follow your earnings, and find time for everything outside work. No account or no internet needed. Your calendar is ready within the first 30 seconds, instantly add shifts and make it yours and private. Planr is used by nurses, healthcare staff, emergency services, retail teams, manufacturing employees, transportation workers, and many other shift based professions, Planr turns a complicated schedule into a calendar you can read at a glance and feel at ease. KNOW YOUR SCHEDULE Open Planr and see what’s coming up. Each shift can have its own name, code, color, icon, and hours, making even a busy calendar easier to scan. Adding work is simple: tap a date and choose a shift. If you work more than one job, you can keep those schedules together while still seeing which shift belongs where. TRACK HOURS, PAY AND EARNINGS Different shifts can mean different pay. Set an hourly rate or an amount per shift, and Planr brings those details into your earnings view. Use gross pay estimates to understand how your scheduled work adds up. You can also choose the currency used to display your amounts BUILD ROTATIONS You shouldn’t have to enter the same pattern over and over. Build a rotation from your shift types and days off, then check a calendar preview before it fills your schedule. Plans change. When you edit, pause, or switch a rotation, Planr helps you review what will happen to future shifts while keeping earlier work intact. PLAN YOUR BREAKS Knowing when you’re off is just as useful as knowing when you’re on. Check a date before making plans, or use the Pro Time Off Planner to explore a longer break. Look for time away that fits your schedule, compare possible trip dates, and see which shifts and estimated earnings each choice may affect. KEEP THE NEXT SHIFT CLOSE Planr can remind you before work and send helpful updates about your schedule. Widgets give you a quick look at your current or upcoming shift without opening the app. During an active shift, a Live Activity can show its details and a countdown on your Lock Screen. SEND A SCHEDULE SOMEONE CAN USE Share your working dates when family, friends, or colleagues need them. With Planr Pro, you can create polished PDF and image schedules or sync shifts one way to iPhone Calendar. MADE FOR SHIFT WORKERS Planr is not a generic calendar, it has been built for shift workers. Schedules don’t always fit neatly into Monday through Friday. Planr handles named shift types, overnight hours, days off, rotations, multiple jobs, and changing pay in a single experience designed around shift work.
