About RoutineArc: Schedule Planner
Your to-do list isn't a plan. RoutineArc turns it into one: tap Plan my day and what's due is fitted into the gaps between your events. No account, no tracking.
ONE-TAP DAY PLAN
One tap builds a day plan around your events, your work hours and what's due — ordinary arithmetic, not a guess, so it's instant. It honours what you said when you captured, like a hard stop or "this one before that one", and when the day can't hold everything it says how many tasks didn't fit. Export the plan to PDF, or take it one task at a time with On Deck.
CAPTURE THE WAY YOU SPEAK
Type or dictate — "dentist tomorrow at 3pm" — and RoutineArc turns it into tasks, events and notes with the date, time, place and priority filled in. Scan a photo to pull its text into items. Share text, links and photos to RoutineArc, add from Control Center on iOS 18, or ask Siri (in English) what's next, to complete a task, or to add a task or event.
BEAT TASK PARALYSIS
Priorities P1–P4 on an Eisenhower matrix you can touch: drag a task into Do First, Schedule, Delegate or Eliminate. Subtasks, tags, recurrence and a weekly review.
FOCUS WHEN IT COUNTS
Pomodoro, countdown and stopwatch modes, focus and break lengths you set, and per-task sessions started straight from the list. Strict Mode fails a timer you walk away from.
END EVERY DAY ALL CAUGHT UP
Evening Review shows overdue tasks one at a time to roll over, finish or delete. Keep It Honest flags anything you've pushed three times.
A CALENDAR YOU CAN TOUCH
Day and week views with drag to reschedule. Your Apple Calendar can show here too, never changed.
HABITS, ROUTINES AND NOTES
Daily habits with streaks, ready-made routines Plan my day makes room for, searchable notes and insights.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Five widgets: Day Overview, Home, Tasks, Priority Matrix, and Day Briefing. On iPhone, turn on Live Activity and the current block follows you to the Lock Screen and, where the iPhone has one, the Dynamic Island.
ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
With iCloud sync on, your tasks, events, notes and habits are the same on each of your devices, in your own private iCloud, and Handoff lets another device pick up the item you have open. Share a list or a task with people you invite, and work on it together.
ON-DEVICE AI
With Apple Intelligence, understanding what you type, summarising a note, and suggesting subtasks run on the Neural Engine — nothing is sent to a server. Without it, a rules engine takes over.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no analytics, no tracking. Everything the app itself sends goes through Apple.
SEVEN DAYS, THEN YOURS TO KEEP
Free for your first week, from the day you start it. Then it turns read-only until you unlock it: everything stays readable, searchable, exportable and deletable, and you can still tick tasks off and defer them. Backing up and restoring by hand stay free for good. The automatic daily backup and iCloud sync come with monthly, yearly and the Unlimited lifetime unlock, as does sharing your own lists.
Works fully offline, in Light and Dark Mode, with eight color palettes, adjustable text sizes and high contrast.
