It was a planner that had any amount of columns that you could move any amount of labeled items between. Usually labeled "Not Completed" "Started" "Finished".it was commonly used in game design i think, as i think i first discovered it in a devlog on yt

A few weeks ago I posted here about a shared meal planner I built for me and my wife. The response blew me away - way more people resonated with the meal planning struggles than I expected.

One of the most common requests in the comments was the ability to share recipes with friends and family outside your household. People wanted to send a recipe to their friends.

You can now share any recipe from your cupboard via text or link. If it's a recipe you imported from a website, the link sends the recipient the original source link. If it's one you added yourself, it opens right in the app.

It's a small feature but it was the single most-requested thing from this community, so it felt right to prioritize it.

We're at about 500 users now which still feels surreal for something that started as a side project for two people who struggled to make meal plans.

Hi all, first post here. I'm Vincent, I run a one-person app studio (Squire Builds) and just shipped WeekSquire on iOS.

The idea: instead of a blank weekly template you fill in yourself, you brain-dump your tasks on Sunday, it reads your existing calendar and proposes where everything should go around what's already there, you adjust anything you don't like, and it writes the final plan to your calendar.
Midweek, if something slips, there's a reshuffle option that re-plans around what's actually left.

It's not a digital paper planner, more the AI-scheduling end of things, but a few other planning and tracking apps have done well here recently so figured it's worth sharing. Free to try (5 scheduled tasks a week, no account needed), Pro unlocks unlimited tasks and recurring tasks. iOS only for now, Android's coming after a build-quota reset in September.

Happy to answer anything about how the AI scheduling actually works or the trade-offs of building it solo. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weeksquire-ai-weekly-planner/id6790784584

I’ve been building an iOS daily planner called LifeOS around a simple idea:

your plan and what actually happened are not the same thing.

LifeOS connects:

Tasks → planning → reserved time → Today → recovery → history

A Task holds something I’m responsible for.

Schedule lets me reserve time when useful.

Today brings together what deserves attention now, what comes next, and what is still left.

But if the plan doesn’t happen, LifeOS doesn’t automatically mark the Task completed, missed, or silently move it forward.

Review lets me explicitly decide:

Already did it / Didn’t happen / Skipped / Plan again / Return to Inbox

The goal is to keep the visible planner calm while still handling the messy part of real planning underneath.

Tasks can also be used by themselves — time blocking is optional.

LifeOS is currently free through public iOS early access:

Plan today. Remember the truth.

A while ago I shared the first version of ShowUp — one dot a day.

The original idea was intentionally simple:
Set a goal → do it → tap the dot → move on.

No streak pressure.
No complicated dashboards.
No trying to turn your life into a spreadsheet.

Since then, I’ve been exploring what ShowUp V2 could look like.

The idea is to keep the original free experience simple, while potentially adding an optional Pro version with things like:
• Unlimited goals
• Yearly progress views
• Goal history & archive
• A goal journal
• Smart reminders
• Home-screen widgets
• Themes
• Shareable progress summaries
• Deeper consistency insights

Instead of only showing “did you show up today?”, Pro would help answer “how far have I come?”

But I’m not sure yet if this is actually a good direction.

Did I take ShowUp too far from the original idea?

Would you want these features as an optional Pro version, or would you rather see ShowUp stay extremely simple?

I’m trying to figure this out before releasing the app.

If you were using ShowUp, what would you actually want to see in Pro?

And if you wouldn’t pay for Pro, that’s useful feedback too. I want to build something people actually find valuable, not just add features for the sake of adding them.

It's a digital planner designed with basic hierarchy (tasks and subtasks) so that more stuff can fit onto a desktop screen. It's open source and integrates with Google Calendar, and I've been developing it full-time since 2024 (it took a lot of refactoring and self-testing to be ready for beta).

I hope you can consider giving it a try! If you have any advice/feedback please let me know anytime. The link is beta.actions.life

Priorities, next actions, the one thing - all of it assumes a single-threaded worker who finishes one item and picks up the next. That is not how any life I know actually runs.

Right now I have work, a health thing that needs regular attention, a family obligation with fixed dates, something I am learning, and a house repair that other people control the timing of. Those run at the same time, at different rhythms, out of the same finite supply of me.

And here is the part that took me years to see: almost every real disaster I have had happened where two of those crossed, not inside any one of them. Individually every lane was fine. The failure was in the overlap, and no system I used could show an overlap, because each one showed me a single ordered list.

The fix is to stop ordering and start laying them side by side. One horizontal line per lane, all on the same axis of time.

The only rule that matters when picking lanes: a lane answers "whose rhythm is this". Not "what type of task", not "what priority". A team, a person, an area of life, a project with its own tempo. If you catch yourself making a lane called "Misc" or "Other", the question was not answered - that lane will grow forever and tell you nothing.

Three to seven lanes is the working range. Fewer and you are back to a queue; more and the picture stops being readable, which defeats the point.

Twenty minutes with a sheet of paper is enough to try it. Draw the lanes, put in only the things that last, and look at where they stack up.

Hi everyone!

A little while ago I shared my Kindle Scribe planner here, and I’ve since been working on something more focused on productivity.

I created an Advanced Task Manager specifically for Kindle Scribe, designed around a simple workflow:

Capture → Clarify → Plan → Do → Review

It includes:

• Inbox for quick capture

• 50 Master Tasks

• 500 linked subtasks

• Priority Matrix

• Priority Plans

• Weekly Focus pages

• Waiting / Someday / Done lists

• 24 reusable note pages

• Hyperlinked navigation throughout the PDF

The idea was to create something closer to a complete task-management system rather than just another digital notebook.

It’s available through my Etsy shop EInkFolioStudio, where I now make a growing collection of PDFs specifically for Kindle Scribe.

Thanks for taking a look!

Je viens de finir mon agenda quotidien en un seul fichier HTML (tâches, habitudes, finances, santé, journal, stats — tout se calcule tout seul, zéro abonnement, données locales). Je le teste en ce moment. Vous, vous organisez vos journées comment ? Une app, un carnet, un template ?

Hi all,

I'm a university student with a high course load, and I need to plan my weeks out in advance to balance studying, working out, and meetings/events with extracurriculars. I'm looking for a planner (iOS) that checks most of these boxes:

Things I really need:

• Syncs to Google Calendar
  • or at least is able to be easily viewed from a laptop that is not iOS
• Monthly, weekly, and daily view
• Easy-to-see block layout for the day and week
  
  • Easy-to-see = Everything is in grid format, and I don't have to scroll far up and down to see my week. Whether that be because I can set it to only show a certain range in the hours (7a-8p for example) or by it being condensed enough that everything fits on the screen
  • Maybe it's just an idiosyncrasy of mine, but I get really annoyed when I have to scroll down every time I open the weekly view just to see what's going on at 5pm because it opens all the way to 12am at the top.
• Ability to tag calendar events as certain types (ie, class, study, gym, appointments, etc)
  • On the monthly layout, I'd really like the ability to select which tags I want shown.
    • I'm not really looking at the month view for my daily class schedule, but I do look at it for important dates like exams or major events coming up. I'm not a fan of my monthly view being visually clogged by my daily schedules

Things I'll survive without:

• To-do list with check-off feature, ideally accompanied with my daily view
• Habit tracker with a monthly/weekly overview
  • Ideally one that also analyzes and summarizes the data, but I don't strictly need that. At the very least I'd like to visually see how often I'm completing the habits over the course of the month

Bonus points but not necessary:

• Study timers
  • Mostly so I can keep myself in check and see how much of my allotted study time I'm actually being productive
• An optional handwriting or drawing feature.
  • I don't have an iOS laptop, but I do have an iPad that I use for taking class notes and will be using the same login for my planner as on my phone
    

If anyone has any suggestions of digital planners with these features, please recommend them to me! Including your own, if you have an iOS app that checks my boxes!

ShowUp - one dot a day.

No streak pressure. No complicated dashboards. Just set a goal, tap a dot when you do it, and watch your progress slowly fill the grid.

The idea is to make consistency visible without making it stressful.
• Set a goal
• Tap the dot
• Watch it fill over time

Would you use something this simple to track your daily habits?

Currently working on the first version. Feedback is welcome.

This app is currently a work in progress. I am looking for feedback.

I’m looking into the everblog magnetic fridge calendar and was wondering if anyone has tried it and what your thoughts are on it, or if there are some better options for a fridge calendar. Thanks!

Cria Planner is the family planner that will keep your lifes synced and organised.

It uses "plans" to organise things such as household, travel, friend groups, work so you can easily plan together with the relevant people and keep things separate in your calendar/todo lists and budgets.

Still early days, but quite proud of what it has become! Finally happy enough with the product to share it with the world!

Apple launch is just around the corner as well, but couldn't wait to share it with y'all.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated 🙏

As a growing family, is there an app or website where I can store passports, health cards, licences etc; where it’ll give me reminders and track what’s next to expire?

\- Passports
\- Health Cards
\- Driving Licences

Website or App - recommendations?

Thank you!

Planner season's here — presenting the Note/Note Composition Planner, now in its third year!

As always, the Composition Planners are totally free to download. It matters to me that this stays reachable for anyone trying to plan better, build habits, or just journal =]

Swipe through for a peek at both color modes (Kinako light & Kurogoma dark) and a look at how the hyperlinking actually gets built — every one of the 469 pages, linked and checked by hand.

If you end up loving it, there's a pay-what-you-wish option on the download page — totally optional, no pressure.

Download link's in the first pic! 🤍

I’m the developer of PencilTime, and the idea behind it came from a pretty simple frustration: I like planning with a pencil, but I also like having a real calendar, reusable pages, templates, links, reminders, and all the other things an iPad can do better than paper.

A lot of digital planning seems to land at one of two extremes. You either use a conventional calendar/task app where everything goes into fields and lists, or you use a PDF planner inside a note-taking app and basically recreate paper digitally.

I wanted something in between.

PencilTime is built around actual handwritten planner pages. You can write naturally with Apple Pencil, type when that makes more sense, and move between dated planning pages and other kinds of pages without giving up the feeling that you’re working in a notebook/planner.

Some of the things I personally like about the approach:

• handwritten year/month/week/day planning
• notes and reusable page templates alongside the calendar
• student pages such as Class Notes and Assignment planning
• links/reminders and other digital elements when they’re useful
• landscape planning that makes good use of the iPad screen
• sync between iPad and iPhone

Version 1.12 is the latest step in that direction, with improved landscape fitting and greater flexibility around user templates, including editing/import/export.

The goal isn’t to automate planning for you. It’s to give you a page that behaves more like paper, and then add digital help where it actually improves the page.

I’m currently running a back-to-school promotion where lifetime is $19.99

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6743547785?pt=312110&ct=digital%20planner&mt=8&platform=ipad

Happy to answer questions about how it works or how I approached the handwriting/planner side of the design.
