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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€’ Auto-Scheduling Engine β€” best-fit gap finding places tasks into your real free time. Not a rigid template. Your actual day. β€’ Brain Dump + Siri β€” capture an idea the second it strikes, by typing or voice. PLANZ schedules it later. β€’ Day Timeline β€” a clean morning / afternoon / evening view with a "Next Up" card so you always know what's next. β€’ Focus Timer β€” 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. β€’ Routines & Templates β€” build morning routines, workouts, and weekly rituals that repeat and reschedule themselves. β€’ Week Planner β€” a 7-day drag-and-drop view to see and rebalance your whole week. (Pro) β€’ Weekly Insights β€” completion rate, focus hours, a productivity heatmap, and trends so you learn when you actually work best. (Pro) β€’ Shared Plans β€” share a plan with roommates, partners, or teammates. Everyone adds, everyone sees, in real time. β€’ Apple Watch app β€” start a focus session and check what's next, right from your wrist. β€’ Works everywhere β€” iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, synced over iCloud.

This Week is a calm, minimal weekly planner that keeps your tasks organized on a single page. Designed for people who want a readable, focused plan rather than a cluttered database, it gives you a clean view of the seven days in front of youβ€”without the stress. No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just warm paper, bold headers, and your week at a glance. PLAN YOUR WEEK WITH CLARITY β€’ Weekly Paper View: Organize your tasks vertically. See what is happening today, look back at the past few days, and easily plan ahead. β€’ Collapsible Days: Focus on the day you are working on. Open the active day and keep the rest of the week visible as quiet, collapsed rows. β€’ Calm Rollover: When you open the app on a new day, unfinished tasks can be rolled over to today with a single tap. No red flags, overdue alerts, or penalty-style notifications. CAPTURE TASKS FAST β€’ Natural Language Input: Type ideas quickly (e.g., "Run 9km Friday 7am weekly #health"). The app automatically parses days, times, and categories into confirmable chips. β€’ Area Organization: Separate your schedule using custom life areas (work, home, health) with distinct color dots. Search and filter by area or completion state. β€’ Flexible Reminders: Set local notifications in context without complex settings. Get a morning planner reminder or a calm evening nudge. 100% PRIVATE, LOCAL, & OFFLINE β€’ Your Data is Yours: Every task, reminder, and setting is stored locally on your device. β€’ No Network Access: This Week works entirely offline. Plan your schedule on a flight, in the subway, or in areas with poor reception. β€’ No Tracking: No analytics SDKs, no behavioral trackers, and no advertisements. Your privacy is complete. ONE SIMPLE UNLOCK Try the full experience free for 7 days. After the trial ends: β€’ The current week view, task completion, and basic list additions remain free forever. β€’ Gated features (reminders, recurrence engine, search, natural language input, and other weeks) can be unlocked with a single, one-time lifetime license. No recurring subscriptions. REQUIREMENTS β€’ Compatible with iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
