Plans change. Current keeps up. Most planners break the moment your day stops going to plan. Current is built for what actually happens: you start late, a meeting runs over, something urgent lands in the middle. One tap, and your remaining tasks reshuffle around the commitments that can't move. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT Every task is either Fixed (the 2pm meeting, the school run) or Flexible (everything else). Current's cascade engine flows your flexible tasks around your fixed ones — so your plan always matches reality, without you rebuilding it by hand. • Start your day when you actually start — your schedule rebuilds from that moment • Drag one block and watch the rest of your day ripple into place • Pause your day when life interrupts, and pick up exactly where you left off • Add buffers for commutes, prep, and breathing room — they're scheduled like the real time they are YOUR DAY DOESN'T END AT MIDNIGHT Working late, or on a night shift? Current rolls your day over during your off-hours — not at the stroke of midnight — so a 1am task still belongs to tonight, not tomorrow. PLAN ONCE, REUSE FOREVER • Recurring tasks fill your week automatically • Save any day as a template and apply it in one tap — or schedule it to apply itself • Capture ideas in the Inbox now, slot them into a day when you're ready CONNECTED, NOT COMPLICATED • Two-way calendar sync: your tasks show up as events, your events show up on your timeline • Per-task reminders, plus an optional morning briefing before your day starts • A home-screen widget with what's next PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your plans stay on your device unless you choose to sync them. No ads. Current is for people who plan carefully and still get interrupted. Structure, without the rigidity. Your day, reorganized. Free to use. Current Pro unlocks recurring tasks, unlimited templates, calendar sync, buffer time, custom reminder timing, and unlimited pauses.
