Titanova is a goal-focused life planner for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch: turn what matters to you into goals, and goals into the habits and tasks you do today. GOALS THAT FILL THEMSELVES IN Give a goal a number and a direction: run 150 km, save $2,000 or stay between 70 and 74 kg. Choose what counts toward it: entries you log, linked habits, finished tasks, Apple Health and focus time. Titanova adds it all up, converts units and tells you whether you're on pace. HABITS, YOUR WAY Track a habit as a simple check, a count, an amount in any of hundreds of units, or time with a built-in timer. Build good habits, limit others and quit the ones you want gone. Keep flexible streaks and see your whole week of habits on one grid. PLAN YOUR DAY Today brings your tasks, habits and calendar events together. Switch to the calendar for a day, three days or a week, and drag tasks and time blocks into place. Type tasks the way you speak, like "Call mom tomorrow 6pm" or "Standup every day at 9am", and Titanova fills in the date, time and repeat. Get reminded at a time or place, and let important tasks ring as alarms. AN ASSISTANT ON YOUR DEVICE Ask about your tasks, goals and habits, let it plan your day or week, or take a photo of a list to turn it into tasks. Nothing changes until you tap a suggestion. The Assistant runs on your device with Apple Intelligence, and what you write isn't sent anywhere. START WITH WHY Organize your life into areas like Health, Work or Family. Give each a cover, a vision and a vision board, with your photos or images you make with Image Playground. Break big goals into subgoals and projects, and see them on a timeline from a month to five years. FOCUS AND INSIGHTS Follow a focus timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Review your week in a short check-in and see in Insights how it all adds up. ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE - Apple Watch: check off tasks and habits, log amounts with the Digital Crown, dictate tasks and run a focus timer, with complications and controls. - Mac: a native app with a menu bar item, Quick Entry over any app, multiple windows and keyboard shortcuts. - iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo: a sidebar and an inspector side by side. - Apple Health: habits check themselves off and goals fill in from steps, workouts, sleep, weight and more. Health data stays on your devices. - Reminders: mirror the lists you pick as tasks, without changing Reminders. - Widgets, Controls, Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight - Make it yours with an accent color, a light or dark theme and your own tabs. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your data syncs through your own iCloud, which only you can access. No ads, no tracking. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. TITANOVA PRO Titanova is free with up to 4 goals, 4 habits, 8 projects and 5 lists, plus unlimited tasks, templates, widgets, reminders, calendar and iCloud sync. The Assistant chat has no limit for your first 7 days, then 3 free questions a day. Titanova Pro removes these limits and adds Insights, the timeline, task attachments and the Assistant's written plans and weekly summaries. Titanova Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, with a free trial, when the trial ends.

Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time. One Titanova Pro purchase works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
