Plan tomorrow in blocks tonight, then live it. BlockDay turns a pile of to-dos into a real schedule. You lay blocks on a paper-style day canvas, drag them to size, and give each one a start time, an end time, and a category. Then you live the day one focus block at a time and see how close you stayed to the plan. What you can do: - Build a day on a paper-style canvas. Drag a block to move it, drag the handle to resize it. Blocks snap to five minutes. - Fill a day in seconds from a built-in template library: deep work, admin, breaks, meetings, health, learning, personal, and errands. - Run the nightly planning ritual. Name one intention, pick a day shape, and set a reminder to plan tomorrow while today is fresh. - Start a focus block timer, count it down, and mark the block done. - Review plan vs actual. Mark each block done, partly, or skipped for a kept-time score, per block and per category. - See where the day goes with category time totals on every screen. - Read weekly patterns: planned hours by day and your category mix for the week. - Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. Free and Pro: - Free covers up to seven planned days, the day canvas, the template library, the focus timer, plan vs actual review, and this week's insights. - Pro unlocks unlimited days and your full history, weekly trend charts for hours and follow-through, saving your own custom blocks, and exporting a day plan PDF or a CSV of every block. Private by design. No account of ours and no tracking. Your plans live on your device and in your private iCloud. Subscription details.
