See today and the days ahead, add tasks in seconds, and move work forward as plans change. NEW: TASK LOCK (PRO) • Choose the apps that distract you most • They stay locked while today still has open tasks • Finish today’s list and they unlock automatically • Allow an optional 15-minute break when you need one • Tasks scheduled for later today only count once their time arrives • Built on Apple’s Screen Time, so Weeklane never sees which apps you use Task Lock is available on iPhone and iPad (not on Mac). A VISUAL WEEKLY PLANNER • See seven days together in one clean weekly agenda • Add a task or checklist item directly to any day • Move and reorder tasks when priorities change • Check off completed work without losing sight of the week REMINDERS AND RECURRING TASKS • Add a time to any task • Set a reminder for the date and time you choose • Build daily and weekly routines with recurring tasks • Keep appointments and next actions together CALENDAR PLANNER • Browse future dates in a clear monthly calendar view • See Weeklane tasks on the day they are due • Optionally connect calendars synced to your device • View Google Calendar and Outlook events beside your tasks SHARED PROJECTS FOR FAMILY AND WORK • Create a shared to-do list for a trip, household, study plan or work project • Invite friends, family or teammates with a private link or code • Assign tasks and see who completed each item • Every free account includes one shared project; invited projects remain accessible • Use one calm family planner or work planner instead of scattered messages YOUR PLANNER, YOUR WAY • Choose orange, pink, blue or green task colours • Use light or dark appearance • Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to see today’s tasks • Use Weeklane in 20 languages FREE TO START The simple weekly to-do list is free. 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.
