BlockDay
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. BlockDay Pro is offered as a monthly subscription at $3.99 USD and a yearly subscription at $24.99 USD, or a one-time Lifetime unlock at $59.99 USD. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
