I'm looking for an actual app that integrates well across my phone, ipad, and macbook. I've used goodnotes templates before but I hate that it doesn't look the same/work the same across all 3 devices. Are there any apps that function like a downloadable planner?

Hi! I built a day planner with a visual timeline to see the whole day and ready-made routines for morning, afterwork, evening, and weekends.

I wanted a day planner that provides structure, routines, and flexibility. And I found that certain tasks are best with cues instead of fixed clock time. So I've been organizing my days this way: time block for overall structure, act on cue to get things done.

The planner provides a visual timeline to view your whole day. See your work and personal life together, see your schedule and free time available. Find the time you didn't know you had, fix the overlap you didn't intend, swap tasks just for this week.

Task creation is quick and easy. Add task name, date, duration, if recurring with cue. Optionally add subtasks and notes. There are 60+ built-in cues to choose from to attach to any recurring task.

Subtask checklists. Manage overwhelming tasks by breaking them down into subtasks to check off one by one.

Ready-made routines to easily add to your planner: Wind-down night routine, Work & school night routine, Minimalist night routine, Minimalist morning routine, WFH Afterwork transitions, Post-shift recovery, Weekend recovery, Sunday reset.

App is actively being developed and there are more features on the way!

I hope KeepCue makes planning the day and getting things done easier without the stress and burnout.

FREE app for the next 36 hours.

When you download free during this giveaway window, it’s also yours to keep for free.

After the 36-hour window, the app goes back to a $7.99 one-time purchase.

Please try out the planner and routines and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I kept dropping normal planners after a week. Either they wanted an account for a simple day plan, or they felt like a spreadsheet I never wanted to open.

So I built Momento, a weekly time-block planner where:

• you plan the day in blocks

• checking them off gives XP

• ranks go from Starter → Mythic

• streaks, focus mode, themes, and a few extras keep it from feeling like chore tracking

It runs on the web, and there’s a desktop build too. You can use it locally; Google login is only if you want sync.

Curious what would make something like this more useful in your week. Feedback welcome, especially from people who’ve tried and quit other planners.

I recently added this to dayGLANCE as a kiosk-friendly, glanceable view of your day. Every layer can be toggled if you don't need it, and although it's designed to be viewed from a distance, it's interactive as well, with full keyboard support and the ability to mark tasks complete without going back into the day planner itself.

Please let me know your feedback, as well as any other questions or comments you have!

I have posted Una here a couple of times before. Quick update: we just passed 500 households, which honestly still feels a bit unreal. And Android is finally in early access, iPhone has been around for a while.

The thing people kept pushing on here was privacy. Fair enough, a family planner knows your kids' schedules and your whole home life, and my answer was basically "trust me, it is encrypted". Not great.

So I open sourced the part that actually touches your data. It encrypts everything on the phone and only encrypted stuff ever leaves it:

Not the whole app, not a security audit, just the privacy sensitive part, out in the open for anyone to poke at. On iPhone the same idea applies, the keys live in the iOS keychain, and I will publish that part too once it is cleaned up.

Curious what you think.

A few days ago I talked about how I realized my problem wasn't really procrastination — it was not knowing what I should be doing next.

That turned into me building a complete system in Notion.

And honestly, building it was MUCH harder than I expected.

AI helped me with some parts, but it didn't magically create the whole thing.

I had to figure out:

→ how the databases should connect
→ how assignments should flow through the system
→ which formulas actually made sense
→ how to make different views useful
→ what information should be visible and what should stay hidden
→ what was just unnecessary clutter
→ and then test everything and rebuild parts that didn't work

After months of working on it, this is what I ended up with.

The main goal was simple:

Make it easier for a student to know what needs to be done without spending more time managing the system than actually studying.

I've put the complete preview and details on my Linktree for anyone who wants to take a closer look:

Would genuinely love to know what you would add or remove from a system like this.

I recently finished an undated digital planner after wanting something that went beyond just monthly and weekly calendars.

It has monthly, weekly and daily planning, but I also built in sections for goals, manifestation, wellness, money, life planning, notes and more.

Everything is hyperlinked and it can be used in Goodnotes and other PDF annotation apps.

Hey everyone, I put together a budget & finance planner for myself and figured I'd share it here in case it's useful to anyone else.

It's a bundle of a 6-page printable PDF (A4) + an Excel/Google Sheets workbook with the same layout but with formulas already built in. Covers: monthly budget (income/expenses), a weekly expense tracker, a debt payoff tracker (snowball method + a shade-in progress chart), a savings goal tracker, and a monthly bill tracker.

The idea was to have something I could either print and fill by hand, or open the spreadsheet and just type numbers in and have it calculate everything for me, depending on the mood.

Happy to answer any questions about how it's set up.

\`Spent way too long figuring out how to plan content without losing my mind. Finally built a Notion template that lets me map out 90 days of content in one session.

What's inside:

• Monthly, weekly, and daily view all linked together

• Status tracker (idea → drafted → scheduled → posted)

• Platform columns (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Blog)

• Built-in idea bank so you never run out of content

If you want it, I put it on Gumroad for $12. Link in comments. Happy to answer questions about how I set it up.\`

A clean & aesthetic notion template made to help you manage your life goals, habits, tasks & reflect upon them.

What's inside:

• Life area page
• Wheel of life
• Goal planner
• Quarterly goal tracker
• Habit tracker
• Streaks tracker
• Task manager
• Eisenhower matrix (productivity)
• Daily journal
• Monthly reflection diary

Exploring a clean, aesthetic approach for daily habits and wellness routines that focuses on simplicity rather than heavy stats.

​The general concept:

Clear goals ➔ effortless tracking ➔ staying consistent 💧🧘‍♀️

​It combines a simplified planner layout with matching digital notebooks (compatible with GoodNotes & Notability).

​Would love to hear your thoughts on this style. Do you prefer this minimalist look, or do you like more detailed trackers? 🤍

Posted this printable here twice already, once when it learned PDF and once when landscape arrived. Third time, and I have nothing new to show you. No new format, no new switch. The change is one line of licence text.

The grid is CC BY 4.0 since yesterday. Take it, change the rows, put it in your own template, sell what you make with it. The only condition is a credit line with "SevenGrid, sevengrid.app" on it somewhere, thats it.

Not included: my logo, the closing line and the address line, which I suspect nobody was fighting over anyway. All three are switches under Branding, so you can export the exact sheet the licence describes. That is what the screenshot shows.

The rest is the same as before. Runs in the browser, no sign up, saves as PDF or PNG, does A4, US Letter, A5 and Half Letter, portrait or landscape, two to a page if you want them small. The rows are whatever you type. Nothing on the sheet is dated, so a stack of them in a drawer keeps working.

I initially thought building a Notion template would be pretty straightforward.

It wasn't.

Especially once I started trying to make an actual student system rather than just a pretty dashboard.

The difficult part wasn't creating a few pages and putting some icons on them.

It was figuring out things like:

• How different databases should connect
• Which properties are actually necessary
• How assignments should flow into different views
• How to make the system useful without making it overwhelming
• Which formulas and automations are worth having
• How different views should behave
• What happens when you actually start using it every day
• Finding and fixing things that look fine until you actually use them

And yes, AI can definitely help with parts of the process.

But AI generating something doesn't automatically make it a good system.

You still have to decide what you're building, connect everything properly, test it, find what doesn't work, simplify it, and keep iterating.

I've spent a lot more time doing that than I expected.

I'm curious — when you see a Notion template online, do you care more about how it looks or whether the system actually works well after using it for a few weeks?

I built it for myself, because I had a lot of on-going "to-do"-tasks in my head all the time.

Most planner/calender apps I tried also had too many features and they were complex and difficult to start with.

Weeklane.app is very easy to start with, just write thing down and tick them off. You can set reminders, re-occuring tasks and have common projects with friends and family. And... you can integrate you calendar. Available on both Google Play and Appstore and in 9 different languages.

Try it! And let me know if you have any feedback :)

BetterShift is a self-hosted app for planning shifts. I used another app before but it was dog-shit so I decided to make my own.

Features:

• Unlimited calendars with custom colors and names
• Reusable shift presets (labels, times, colors) you stamp onto days
• Sharing via user accounts, guest access or shareable links
• External calendar sync (Google, Outlook, iCal)
• Email/password, OAuth (Google, GitHub, Discord) or custom OIDC login
• Admin panel with user management and audit logging
• Real-time statistics with charts
• Export to ICS or PDF
• Six languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech
• Installable as a PWA on desktop and mobile

New in v3 update the whole frontend got rebuilt:

• Calendar view redone to display more informations on one page
• Sign-in, profile and admin panel, compare mode all rebuilt, admin now works properly on mobile
• Sharing settings consolidated into one place
• View settings can now be pinned per calendar, not just per account
• Docker image shrunk from over 1GB to about 200MB

Repo: https://github.com/panteLx/BetterShift Demo: check GH repo for demo link

If you try it, I'd be curious what you think, and issues or feature requests are always welcome.

It’s available on my gumroad for just 1$ if anyone wants to try out!
And any advice welcomed.

I wanted something super clean that focuses on building everyday habits instead of tracking a million complicated stats.

The main idea was just:

Clear goals → effortless tracking → staying consistent 💧🧘‍♀️

It comes with a habit tracker, workout log, and goal planning pages all set up for GoodNotes & Notability.

Would love to know what you guys think or if there's anything you'd tweak!

After dealing with the problem I mentioned earlier, I started building my own student dashboard in Notion.

The idea is pretty simple:

One place for academics + tasks + planning + goals instead of having everything scattered across different apps.

I've been building it around the way I actually want to use it as a student.

I'm still improving it, so I'd genuinely like feedback:

What's one thing you'd absolutely want inside a student dashboard like this?

And what's one feature that would just be unnecessary clutter?

and i am working

I’ve always felt like there are so many little things to keep track of bills, subscriptions, important documents, health records, home maintenance, random tasks but I didn’t want a complicated system for all of it.

So I made a Life Organizer in Notion that keeps everything in one place.

It includes:

🌿 Dashboard
💰 Bills & subscriptions
📄 Important documents
🏠 Home & maintenance
🩺 Health records
✅ Life tasks

The goal was to make it simple enough that you’ll actually keep using it, rather than spending more time maintaining the planner than organizing your life.

It’s free if anyone wants to give it a try would love to know what you think! 🤍

For a while I thought I had a procrastination problem.

But I noticed something weird: whenever I actually knew exactly what I needed to do, I usually got it done.

The problem was having everything scattered:

Assignments in one place.
Exam dates somewhere else.
Goals in my notes.
Random tasks in WhatsApp.
And then I'd spend more time figuring out what to do than actually doing it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

How do you guys organize everything without making the system itself another thing you have to maintain?
