PlanTodo — A Smarter Way to Manage Tasks and Recurring Plans PlanTodo is a cross-platform to-do app designed for multiple devices. It doesn’t just help you track tasks — it helps you automatically plan the future. Unlike traditional to-do apps, PlanTodo clearly separates Tasks and Plans: - Tasks: one-time to-dos - Plans: rule-based systems that continuously generate tasks You can use it as a simple to-do list, or unlock its full power by letting recurring work take care of itself. --- Flexible and Powerful Planning System PlanTodo goes far beyond typical recurring task features: Basic Rules - Daily / every n days - Specific weekdays (e.g., Monday, Friday) - Fixed dates each month or year Advanced Rules - The last Saturday of each month - The second Monday every two months - The nth day from the end of the year Advanced Automation - Trigger based on other plans (e.g., 3 days before another plan) - Multi-level dependencies (plans can trigger one another in chains) - Combined conditions (trigger when any or all conditions are met) Fine-Grained Control - Exclude specific dates - Automatic postponement (e.g., skip workdays and trigger on the next non-working day) - Auto enable / disable / delete - Sleep cycles (skip a set number of triggers before activating) Set up complex long-term schedules once, and let them run automatically. --- Efficient Task Management Everything you expect from a modern task manager: - Add, edit, duplicate, delete, and restore tasks - Rich attributes: date, start time, reminders, duration, color, and more - Supports subtasks, allowing complex tasks to be broken down for step-by-step progress while maintaining an overall view. - Supports task timer to track the actual time spent on tasks from the task details page. Tasks generated by plans eliminate the need to repeatedly create the same items. Tasks can also inherit parent-child relationships from plans. With the timeline enabled, you can quickly identify time conflicts through the red sections and find available time through the transparent sections, helping you arrange tasks more efficiently. A current time indicator on timeline clearly shows daily progress and the flow of time. --- Progress Tracking Without Pressure PlanTodo focuses on cumulative progress, not daily perfection. For example: - Set a goal like “Read for 30 minutes a day” - Completing 20 minutes isn’t a failure — the gap is recorded - Catch up later to stay on track overall This approach makes long-term goals more sustainable and less stressful. Supports tracking by both time spent and completion count. Three charts are available to help you track your progress: Balance, Total Completed, and Daily Completed, giving you a clear and intuitive view of how your progress changes over time. --- Multi-device sync Privacy-first, local-first. * End-to-end encrypted * Only your devices can read your data * Even the server can't decrypt it --- Continuously Evolving - Basic search is available, with advanced filtering on the way - Supports notes, enabling one-stop management of tasks and ideas. - Supports images, making it easy to capture moments and quickly recall information later. --- Website: https://plantodo.app/

About

UNTIL Timer

Read full description

UNTIL Timer is a simple way to manage your focus with a finish time. Instead of setting “30 minutes” or “60 minutes,” choose the clock time you want to reach. UNTIL turns that time into a small, visible deadline and shows you exactly how much time is left. A FINISH TIME FOR BETTER FOCUS When a task has no clear edge, attention can drift. UNTIL gives what you are doing now a finish line. Not a complicated schedule. Not another productivity system. Just a clear “until.” SET A TIME. FOCUS ON NOW. Use UNTIL for: • Finishing a focused work session • Getting ready to leave • Study and homework • Creative work • Chores and household routines • Breaks and transitions • Any task that needs a clear finish line SMALL DEADLINES, THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY The real deadline may be tomorrow, next week, or months away. UNTIL lets you create smaller deadlines inside today. “I’ll work on this until 10:30.” “I’ll get ready until 8:15.” “I’ll finish this part by 3:00.” A small finish line can make it easier to give your attention to what matters now. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Set an end time instead of calculating a duration • See remaining time at a glance • Get an alarm or notification when time is up • Keep the countdown visible when you want it • Save timers you use again UNTIL PRO Get more from every countdown with UNTIL PRO. Save, organize, repeat, and personalize the small deadlines that shape your day. UNTIL isn’t about managing every minute. It’s about managing your focus. Pick a time. See what’s left. Focus on now. Give your focus a finish line. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
