About

NextPlan

Read full description

NextPlan is a clean, fast planner for people who think in days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. Most to-do apps treat every task the same. NextPlan understands that planning is layered: today's tasks live inside this week, this week inside this month, and so on. Switch between time scales instantly and always see the bigger picture. WHY NEXTPLAN • Nested periods — Today, This Week, This Month, Quarter, Year. A task you set for today automatically shows in your weekly and monthly views. • One-tap status — cycle a task through To Do, In Progress, and Done with a single tap. • Priorities & tags — flag what's high priority, at risk, blocked, or delayed at a glance. • Defer with one swipe — can't finish this week? Push it to the next period. • Never lose a task — unfinished items roll forward so nothing slips through the cracks. BUILT FOR APPLE • Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. • iCloud sync keeps every device up to date. • Pin a floating panel on Mac and Vision Pro to keep your plan always in view. • Full keyboard navigation, swipe actions, and a focused, distraction-free design. Start with today. Plan for the year.
