Pomodoro Focus vs MyPlanBuddy

The planner that shrinks on low-energy days, and reads your sleep to show you how you're doing. MyPlanBuddy is a gentle planner for slow, steady productivity. Instead of an endless list, it shows just what fits right now, in the time you actually have. Repeating tasks is free, and with Buddy+ it works with any calendar on your iPhone. JUST WHAT FITS NOW Set up routines with time windows, like work from 8 to 5 or home after 6. MyPlanBuddy places each task in the next window with room for it and shows what you can do in the time that's left. Anything due soon comes first, then from lightest to heaviest. REPEATING TASKS ARE FREE Daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or yearly: a repeating task comes back on its own, with no subscription needed. ON LOW-ENERGY DAYS, THE LIST SHRINKS If you want, the app asks about your energy on a five-level scale, from "Running low" to "Energized". On running-low days, the list gets shorter and lighter. On energized days, it offers to pull something forward. And "Why these?" explains every pick. REPLAN WITH NO DRAMA Didn't happen today? Move it to tomorrow, next week or the next window that really has room. Letting go doesn't delete: the task goes to your archive and comes back in the weekly review, so you can decide calmly. ONE THING AT A TIME Start a task with the focus timer, or use "Do it now" for something unplanned. The timer shows up in the Dynamic Island, on the Lock Screen and on Apple Watch. YOUR RHYTHM, NO PRESSURE The Rhythm screen shows what you got done this week and month, and the times of day that work best for you. The app learns from how you use it and suggests tasks and routines for things you already do every week. No red warnings, no nagging and no streaks to break. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND APPLE WATCH Widgets on the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy, complications on your watch face, and sync through your own iCloud. On iPad, the list and details sit side by side. FIND A TIME Write it your way, like "30 min to read a book" or "two hours with family on the weekend", and MyPlanBuddy shows two or three possible times, with the reason for each. You can also ask Siri: "Find a time in MyPlanBuddy". The AI runs on your device, and nothing goes into your plan until you tap. WEEKLY REVIEW Once a week, a kind look at what moved and what stayed behind, so the next week starts light. BUDDY+ • Unlimited "Find a time" (five requests a month on free), and the AI also finds a time when you push something back • Speak or paste text and it becomes several tasks, each in its routine • A review that gets your week: what's stuck and why, and how your energy went • Works with any calendar on your iPhone (iCloud, Google, Outlook): events take time out of your windows and "Find a time" works around them • Your rhythm next to an estimated energy from the Health app The AI runs on your device (Apple Intelligence, on supported devices); on others, the app uses simpler rules. HEALTH APP (OPTIONAL) If you allow it, MyPlanBuddy reads sleep, heart data, exercise and mindfulness to show an estimated energy compared with what's usual for you. This data is used only on your device, to calculate that energy, and never decides your tasks. MyPlanBuddy is an organization tool: it is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat anything. PRIVACY No sign-up, no ads and no analytics. Your tasks stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and we can't see them. SUBSCRIPTION OR ONE-TIME PURCHASE MyPlanBuddy is free to use. Buddy+ comes as a monthly or yearly subscription, with a free trial when available, or as a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
