About

This Week

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/

Verdict

The call

Daily Planner and This Week are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
