Read full description

Most timer apps make you run one timer at a time. Your day doesn't work like that. planSync runs several visual countdown timers at once - a focus block, a break, something on the stove, a reminder due in ten - all live, all at a glance. You see your time instead of guessing it. WHAT YOU GET - Multiple parallel timers running side by side - Live countdowns on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, without opening the app - Fast task capture - brain-dump in seconds, sort it later - List and Kanban views to triage what actually matters today - Offline-first - it works with zero signal - Two-way sync across your phone and the planSync Chrome extension BUILT FOR BUSY, DISTRACTIBLE BRAINS If you lose track of time, juggle five things at once, or forget what you were doing the second you stand up - this was made for you. Some people call it ADHD. Either way, planSync makes your time visible. FREE TO USE The full app is free on one device - no account, no paywall on first open. planSync Pro adds cloud sync across devices, cross-device Lock Screen timers, and your full history. 7-day free trial. FROM A SOLO FOUNDER I build planSync alone, from Poland, and I use it every day. I share the revenue in public - what you see is what's real. Run your day on more than one timer. Download planSync and start now. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://plansync.link/privacy
