Beat time blindness and task paralysis with AuraPlan, the visual daily planner built for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent minds. Say your goal out loud, watch a giant countdown ring tick down, and finally see your day. WHY AURAPLAN IS DIFFERENT Most planners hand you a blank grid and blame you when it stays empty. AuraPlan starts with your energy and your words. A friendly AI copilot turns "clean the kitchen" or "study for finals" into small, timed steps with icons and pastel colors. A ring-shaped visual timer shrinks in real time, so five minutes actually feels like five minutes. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT BRAINS - Visual countdown ring, not a shrinking bar of guilt - Pastel palette designed to prevent sensory overload - Every tap answers with gentle haptic feedback - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and high-contrast Dark Mode - No streaks, no shaming, no red numbers everywhere WHAT YOU CAN DO 1. AI COPILOT — Type or speak a fuzzy intent. Aura returns a step-by-step routine you can drop into today with one tap. 2. VISUAL TIMELINE — See the whole day as color blocks. Long-press and drag to reshape it in seconds. 3. FOCUS TIMER — A ring so big you can read it from across the room. Overrun turns soft red instead of stopping you dead. 4. ROUTINES LIBRARY — Save "Morning Launch", "Deep Work" or "Wind Down" once, apply forever. 5. ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING — Tap Low Energy and AuraPlan quietly moves your hardest tasks to tomorrow. 6. INSIGHTS — Weekly focus time, completion rate and energy patterns, without judgment. WHO IT HELPS - Adults and teens with ADHD or executive dysfunction - Autistic users who thrive on predictable routines - Students juggling classes, jobs and side quests - Remote workers, writers and creators fighting context-switching - Anyone who has ever stared at a to-do list and just… frozen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your day is your business. AuraPlan works fully offline in Anonymous Mode — no account required to try the core loop. Sync uses strong TLS, and only anonymized event names leave your device. GDPR and CCPA supported, with one-tap export and deletion. FREE VS PRO Free forever: visual timeline, up to three routines, core focus timer. AuraPlan Pro unlocks unlimited AI planning, unlimited routines, weekly insight reports, custom themes and icons, and future Apple Watch complications and calendar two-way sync. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Ready to make time visible?

Planish is a day planner for ADHD brains, and for anyone whose day rarely goes to plan. See your day as a timeline under a real sky, do one thing at a time, and replan the rest without guilt. ON YOUR WRIST • On Apple Watch, see the one thing you're doing and the time it has left, under the same sky. • Mark it done, finish a step, add 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or start what's next. Your iPhone does the rest. • Put Planish on a watch face or in the Smart Stack. Calendar titles never show on the face. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • Open it sideways: Today stays on the left, your Inbox, Days or Me on the right, split at the fold. • Fold it shut: the tabs and buttons move into the strip at the side, and the sky still fills the screen. • iPad held sideways works the same way. SEE YOUR DAY, NOT A LIST • Your day runs from when you wake up to when you go to sleep, under a sky that follows the real sun. • Each task takes up as much room as the time it needs, so you can see how full the day really is. • Events from your device's calendar show up as fixed blocks. Planish reads them on your device and never changes or uploads them. • Some events leave room, like a train ride or a lecture. Turn on “I can do things then” and tasks fit inside them. SAY IT MESSY. CHECK IT FIRST. • Type or say everything on your mind. Planish turns it into tasks with times and small steps. • AI only reads what you type or say. Nothing is saved until you confirm, and you can change or remove any task first. • Rather do it by hand? Everything works without AI. ONE THING AT A TIME • Now shows the task in front of you, its steps one at a time, and the time it has left. On iPhone you'll also see it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Need longer? Add 5, 10 or 15 minutes and the rest of the day moves along. DAY WENT SIDEWAYS? REPLAN THE REST. • Replan fits what's left into the time that's left. You see the before and after, and nothing changes until you say so. • Unfinished tasks wait in a gentle card the next morning. No red, no overdue. ROUTINES AND REMINDERS • Save a routine, like your morning, as timed steps. Put it into any day, or let it repeat. • A reminder when each task starts, and an optional "keep reminding me" until you begin. • A Now & Next widget on your Home Screen. NO STREAKS • Every day you used Planish is pressed flat into a band of color. Nothing to break, nothing to lose. YOUR PLAN STAYS YOURS • Without an account, your plan lives only on your device. • Sign in with Apple to use it on more than one device. Sync is free. • Your calendar never leaves your device. THE BASICS ARE FREE. FOREVER. Timeline, Inbox, reminders, repeating tasks, routines, calendar import, Now, Replan and sync are free, and will stay free. AI planning comes with a free allowance; Planish Pro adds more AI planning and step breakdowns. Planish Pro is available monthly, yearly (with a 14-day free trial) or as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://planish.innofun.digital/terms Privacy Policy: https://planish.innofun.digital/privacy
