Today Planned: Daily Planner

I have been using this app for about 2-3 years. It’s the first true calendar to alarm app. iOS has a lot of roadblocks for developers, because i have tried many “alarm” apps. They didn’t work. Apple’s “ecosystem” must be too restrictive. This works for all of my iOS calendars. This is something i wish Apple would allow as a calendar setting, and every apple fanboy (without ADHD) will tell you there are “alerts” for that, which go in the same bucket as every other notification on your device, can easily be silenced by DND. This app works. I don’t miss doctor’s appts anymore. I don’t miss meetings. If it’s in my calendar, my alarm goes off. I will set other alarms too like driving time, or “time to get ready”. When i started, you had to manually set alarms and that was kinda neat, unless i forgot. Now the developer automated that too. Seriously, this app is one of the best kept secrets in the app store. I hope apple doesn’t find out and block it. Seriously, i think it only works since it uses apple’s “shortcuts” which i think has more access than a normal app. This issue had me considering leaving the apple ecosystem completely (aaand i guess i may be one of those fanboys since i have an ipad pro, iphone, airpods, macbook air, macbook mini, macbook pro and have had many others for about 15 years). But seriously, i can’t say enough good things about this app. More than worth the tiny cost for this. Highly highly recommend.

Would love to bring a 10 stars ⭐️ but obviously can’t! The app is super reliable, and is my main app to keep track of my very complex calendar (work + personal) and the schedule of my autistic child (equally complex) and the many things I have to keep track daily. Now (version 4) it added “Things” a great tool to capture scans, photos, sketches, notes and stickies which can be organized in folders! This is the stop and go for anyone who wants an organized agenda/planner! Kudos to the developer(s)! Keep it up! 👍🏽

Today Planned has become one of those apps I didn’t realize I needed until I used it. I never miss meetings during the day anymore. And when my alarm goes off, it’s the perfect cue for the people I’m meeting with that it’s time to wrap up and move on. It keeps me on track without feeling pushy. The developer is also incredibly responsive to feedback, which makes the app even better. This deserves to be way more popular than it is. If you’re someone who lives by your calendar, this is one of those can’t-live-without tools.
