Ebbi is a day planner and focus timer that puts your day on the clock. Type what you need to do, tap how long each task will take, and Ebbi lays it out in order, with a start time on every task and a finish time for the whole plan. If a task runs long, add a minute or five and everything after it moves, so you can see where the day stands. Made for adults with ADHD, and for anyone who loses track of time. PLAN • Type a task, then tap how many minutes it gets. • Tasks of 25 minutes or more split into shorter blocks, with a short reset between them. Change the blocks any time, or turn splitting off. • A reset is a different thing to switch to: water, a short walk, the dishes. Rename or replace any of them. • Until you start, DONE AT shows when you would finish if you began now, and it moves with the clock. • Load a starter plan when you would rather not build one. FOCUS • One task at a time, counting down inside a ring, with the next item named underneath. • A live finish time for the session updates as you add time, take time away, or pause. • Plus and minus 1 and 5 minute buttons change the current task without restarting it. Finish early, skip, or go back a step. • 12 soundscapes plus Silence, including white, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean, cafe and lo-fi. White Noise and Lo-Fi come without Pro. REVIEW • See the tasks you finished and the minutes you focused. • Open a past session to see each task's planned minutes next to the minutes it ran. • By default, each day starts with a clean plan. STRUCTURE THROUGH SCIENCE Ebbi's core design choices trace to published research, graded in public at ebbi.app/research, including where the evidence is thin. • A 2022 meta-analysis of 27 studies found children and teens with ADHD judge time less accurately and less consistently. Ebbi keeps the clock on screen so you don't have to hold it in your head. • Across 94 tests, deciding in advance when and where you will act helped people reach their goals (Gollwitzer and Sheeran, 2006). You set the order before you start. • In 87 students, rest planned in advance brought less fatigue and distraction than rest they timed themselves (Biwer and colleagues, 2023). Resets are on the schedule. • A 2024 meta-analysis of 13 studies, mostly in children, found white or pink noise helped a little on lab attention tasks in young people with ADHD or attention problems, and hurt a little in others. Sound is optional. • In 543 adults who reported an ADHD diagnosis, how kindly people treated themselves tracked with how they were doing (Beaton, Sirois and Milne, 2022). Ebbi's end-of-session screen starts with what you got done. Sources are in the app under Settings, The Science Behind Ebbi. Ebbi is not a medical device.

Planish

Planish is a day planner for ADHD brains, and for anyone whose day rarely goes to plan. See your day as a timeline under a real sky, do one thing at a time, and replan the rest without guilt. SEE YOUR DAY, NOT A LIST • Your day runs from when you wake up to when you go to sleep, under a sky that follows the real sun. • Each task takes up as much room as the time it needs, so you can see how full the day really is. • Events from your device's calendar show up as fixed blocks. Planish reads them on your device and never changes or uploads them. SAY IT MESSY. CHECK IT FIRST. • Type or say everything on your mind. Planish turns it into tasks with times and small steps. • AI only reads what you type or say. Nothing is saved until you confirm, and you can change or remove any task first. • Rather do it by hand? Everything works without AI. ONE THING AT A TIME • Now shows the task in front of you, its steps one at a time, and the time it has left. On iPhone you'll also see it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Need longer? Add 5, 10 or 15 minutes and the rest of the day moves along. DAY WENT SIDEWAYS? REPLAN THE REST. • Replan fits what's left into the time that's left. You see the before and after, and nothing changes until you say so. • Unfinished tasks wait in a gentle card the next morning. No red, no overdue. ROUTINES AND REMINDERS • Save a routine, like your morning, as timed steps. Put it into any day, or let it repeat. • A reminder when each task starts, and an optional "keep reminding me" until you begin. • A Now & Next widget on your Home Screen. NO STREAKS • Every day you used Planish is pressed flat into a band of color. Nothing to break, nothing to lose. YOUR PLAN STAYS YOURS • Without an account, your plan lives only on your device. • Sign in with Apple to use it on more than one device. Sync is free. • Your calendar never leaves your device. THE BASICS ARE FREE. FOREVER. Timeline, Inbox, reminders, repeating tasks, routines, calendar import, Now, Replan and sync are free, and will stay free. AI planning comes with a free allowance; Planish Pro adds more AI planning and step breakdowns. Planish Pro is available monthly, yearly (with a 14-day free trial) or as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://planish.innofun.digital/terms Privacy Policy: https://planish.innofun.digital/privacy
