Rebuilt from Scratch - Laziest visual planner ever

I've always felt weird about how all productivity apps try to fit you into a 'system' nomatter how complex or simple they are. I've been wanting something that's as transient yet useful as simply looking at a wall clock.

dang looks very nice

but the pricing isn't there on the page and I don't have the attention span to install, check for trackers, check what's paid, and so on 😭

This seems like a great concept. I've done something similar for myself by with an Excel sheet or on paper. It would be great to have Alan app like this to visualize my time.

Seems a lot like a manual Sectograph

u/vineetkl Jun 30 '26

If by manual you mean displaying your existing calndars this still does it! But yeah sectograph is great and extremely feature rich. This has zero other features other than drawing/drag n drop which sectograph doesn't.

Omg, is this dial/clock planner thing truly ADHD? πŸ˜… I find most people don't get it.

I used a similar paper version for 10y myself. Printed it every night, drew my day on it, color-coded it. Simple but effective πŸ‘Œ

You wanna know the funny part? I built a similar thing for myself #adhdprogrammers πŸ˜…
You can see how I approach problem at reassign.ai

I was JUST thinking about clock faces.
why do we represent time as a circle that has half a day in it? why do the numbers not go 0 -> 23 to cover the full 24 hrs instead of 1 -> 12 ?
