planyr

Your whole week on one screen.

planyr is a weekly planner built on one idea: see everything at a glance, and never lose the unfinished. Each task is a row, each day a column.

In private beta now on TestFlight and Google Play
The planyr weekly board: tasks as rows, the days Monday through Sunday as columns, each cell marked with a dot, slash, checkmark, or arrow.

Seven symbols. That is the whole vocabulary.

You mark each cell with one of seven simple symbols. Nothing to tune, no complex statuses.

a dot
scheduled
/
a slash
progress made
a checkmark
done
>
a forward arrow
carried forward
<
a back arrow
done early
an open circle
an event at a set time
»
a double arrow
a recurring day passed; the next one has it

Glance at any cell and you know where things stand. The migration column on the right of each row carries unfinished tasks forward on its own, so nothing quietly falls off your list.


Made to live with.

A warm dark mode and calm overviews, so planyr fits your day instead of shouting at it.

planyr in dark mode: the same weekly board on warm charcoal instead of cream.

A warm dark mode. Charcoal with a brown undertone, not pure black.

Monthly overview: a calendar with a colored dot on each day showing how much you followed through.

Monthly overview.

Yearly overview: twelve mini month grids, each day shaded from rust to green by how much got done.

Yearly overview. Tap any day to jump to that week.


Yours, and only yours.

Local-first by default. Cloud sync is there if you want it, and invisible if you do not.

Local-first

Your data lives on your device. Opt into cloud sync only if you want planyr on more than one device. Otherwise it never makes a network request.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no upsells. planyr is a planner, not a funnel.

Migration built in

Unfinished tasks move forward to next week automatically, so you catch up instead of starting over.

Recurring tasks and events

Repeat daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or yearly. They appear on each week you have scheduled.

Calendar import and export

Bring events in from any calendar app through standard calendar (.ics) files, and send them back out the same way.

Tags and filters

Tag tasks with up to four colors each, then filter the grid to just the ones you want to see.

Subtasks, priority, due dates

Break a task into a checklist, set an optional priority and due date, and sort each row to match.

Yours to shape

Handwritten or system font, a Monday- or Sunday-start week, and event reminders you asked for.

About the method

planyr is the digital form of the Alastair Method, a matrix-based weekly-planning system Alastair Johnston developed for himself before this app existed. The whole vocabulary fits on one card. The whole week fits on one screen.
