LYS is an all-in-one planner: a calendar, to-dos, habits, goals, countdowns, notes, and a journal, together in one private app. Plan your day in the order you'll actually live it, from school drop-off to practice at five. Build habits one day at a time, count down to the things you're excited for, and end each night with five questions about your day. Everything you write is end-to-end encrypted, so it stays yours alone. CALENDAR Your to-dos and your events, together in one day and numbered in the order you'll do them. Drag them where you want them, and tap a number to complete it. Your events sync automatically with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook. HABITS Check off each habit as you do it, and watch your streak grow. Breaking a bad habit? Add it like any other habit, and check it off every day you go without it. Write down why in its notes, so the reason is there when you need it. GOALS AND COUNTDOWNS Write down what you want to do and the date you'll do it, and add notes as you go. Count down the days to the things you're excited for. NOTES Every list and idea in one place, sorted from A to Z. Checklists, a grocery list that remembers your usuals, and a search only you can run. Lock the private ones with Face ID. JOURNAL Before you go to bed, record your day by answering five questions. Then rewind to any day to see what was on your mind. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you write is end-to-end encrypted with a key only you hold. Our servers store your words as ciphertext we can't read. If you use LYS without an account, your planner never leaves your iPhone or iPad. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Siri to add a to-do. Choose from 54 Paper Colors, and the whole app, even the icon, changes to match. YOURS TO KEEP Your planner works without a connection. Once you create an account, it syncs and backs up quietly, and you can export everything as Markdown or PDF anytime. FREE TO START Try LYS for free! If you love it, upgrade to LYS Unlimited.
