You keep your word to everyone. Except yourself. Little by little, the life you planned gets traded away: to the scroll, to everyone else's priorities, to hours you never noticed passing. FlexMax holds you to your word, one block at a time. Turn your intentions into a realistic daily plan with fixed commitments, flexible time blocks, routines, and tasks. When a block slips, choose a way forward: move it, shorten it, or trade it for another block. See the tradeoffs before you decide. Check in with what actually happened: Excellent, Partly, Rough, Recover, or Missed. FlexMax keeps an honest record of your progress, including the days you got back on track. Then Theory of You connects your schedule, check-ins, and reflections to show patterns in your own follow-through. See which blocks hold, where misses cluster, and what may be getting in the way—grounded in your history, not generic advice. Built for focused execution: • Plan with flexible and fixed time blocks • Repeat routines on the days and times that fit • Add tasks inside a block or plan them once • Recover after a missed block with clear tradeoffs • Check in quickly and reflect when it matters • Get time-aware reminders and personal insights • Explore a read-only example before starting a trial Try FlexMax free for 14 days.

Planish
Read full descriptionHide full description
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
