Every planner makes you figure out when to do things. PLANZ does it for you. Add your tasks, set your available hours, and PLANZ auto-schedules everything into your day — no manual time-blocking, no drag-and-drop, no guesswork. No account. No email. No trial countdown. Free to start. THE ONLY PLANNER THAT SCHEDULES ITSELF Most planning apps are just fancy to-do lists. You still have to drag tasks around, guess how long things take, and rebuild your schedule every time something changes. PLANZ is different. Its auto-scheduling engine finds the best open gap in your day and drops your task there — automatically. You add the what. PLANZ figures out the when. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell PLANZ your available hours (once). 2. Add a task with a rough duration. 3. PLANZ slots it into the right time — no drag, no guess. Add an urgent task, change your availability, or defer something, and PLANZ reflows your whole day instantly. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO GET THINGS DONE • Auto-Scheduling Engine — best-fit gap finding places tasks into your real free time. Not a rigid template. Your actual day. • Brain Dump + Siri — capture an idea the second it strikes, by typing or voice. PLANZ schedules it later. • Day Timeline — a clean morning / afternoon / evening view with a "Next Up" card so you always know what's next. • Focus Timer — Pomodoro, Custom, and Flow sessions tied to each task, with streaks and a daily goal. A live timer follows you on the Lock Screen and Apple Watch. • Routines & Templates — build morning routines, workouts, and weekly rituals that repeat and reschedule themselves. • Week Planner — a 7-day drag-and-drop view to see and rebalance your whole week.

PLANZ's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
