Plan B is a calm daily planner. No visual noise — just a clean, newspaper-style layout that shows only what matters today. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Tasks sit in clear blocks: Inbox, Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Done. Overdue tasks aren't lost — they return to your Inbox so you decide when to pick them up. CAPTURE IN SECONDS • Add tasks by voice — just speak • Reschedule to any day from a mini calendar • Break big tasks into checklists • Tags are detected automatically from your words HABITS YOU CAN SEE Build habits with flexible schedules: daily, by weekday, by day of month or a custom interval. Track how many times a day you did it — the ring fills as you go. Each habit gets an icon matched to its name. ACTIVITY MOOD A small mood face under each habit, like the one on topics: a smile when you keep it up, a flat or sad face when gaps creep in. The AI tunes how strict the judgment is to the habit's meaning — daily exercise is judged more closely than an occasional chore. You see at a glance how a habit is going. APP HABITS FROM SCREEN TIME Tie a habit to an app and it checks itself off. Using Screen Time, the planner sees how long you read, study or train in that app and fills the progress with no tapping at all. The ring reaches the goal on its own, and a tap opens the app itself. RECURRING TASKS Payments, chores, workouts, health — repeating tasks with ready presets and any cadence. FOCUS TIMER One tap and you're in: a countdown for 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes or your own time, with pause. REMINDERS Local notifications for tasks and habits. Tapping a notification opens the planner right on that task. TOPIC PROJECTS WITH AI & CONTEXTUAL TASKS Each tag is a project with its own diary. Jot down thoughts by voice, text, photo or PDF — and the AI remembers where the project stands: what's done, what's stuck, what's next. Ask "how's it going?" for a quick summary. Ask for ideas and the AI suggests next steps, then turns them into contextual tasks tied to that project in one tap. A topic never slips through the cracks — its context is always at hand. EVERYTHING IN REACH • Search across all tasks, including done and archived • A feed of great quotes for a lift • Face ID lock • English ONE ACCOUNT, ALL DEVICES Your planner syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac. Start on your phone, continue on your computer. Plan B won't bury you in lists or buttons. It's about calm: less noise, more done.
