planned

Finish the thing. Feed the den.

A school and life planner for Mac. One next thing, a calendar that stays out of the way, and a hoard that makes chores feel like loot.

No Planned account. The Mac zip is unsigned, so everything stays on that Mac. An iPhone version isn’t public, and may never be.

What it is

A planner that rewards finishing instead of nagging about deadlines.

Pocket, don’t check off

Done work goes in the hoard. Warmth, ranks, and trinkets, never a punishment for being late.

Overview, then the map

One next thing on Overview. The calendar is the full picture when you want it; colors are categories, not clutter.

No login

There is no Planned account. The Mac app keeps your planner on that Mac, and nobody else can see it.

Get it

A Mac app. Download, unzip, open.

  1. Mac: download the zip, unzip, and move Planned to Applications.

  2. macOS will say the app can’t be opened the first time. Control-click Planned → Open → Open. After that it launches normally.

  3. iPhone: not public. It may come later, or not at all.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

macOS says the app can’t be opened. How do I run it?
The Mac build is a direct download, not from the App Store. In Finder: Control-click Planned → Open → Open. After that it launches normally. This is the same path as Noted and Uninstalled.
Does it sync between iPhone and Mac?
The Mac zip on this page is unsigned (same as Noted), so that copy stays on that Mac and does not talk to iCloud. There is an iPhone build that syncs through iCloud, but it isn’t public, and may never be.
If two people install it, do they share one planner?
No. Each Apple ID gets its own hoard. There is no Planned account and no way to peek at someone else’s list.
Is there a subscription?
No. Planned is a small app I made. iCloud is whatever storage Apple already gives you.
What happens if I’m late on an assignment?
Nothing is taken away. Pocketing something overdue actually pays extra warmth. The den is built to stay addictive, not punitive.
Where does my data go?
On the device. I don’t run a Planned server, don’t see your list, and don’t sell anything. More: privacy.

Privacy

On your device, and in your own iCloud. Nowhere else.

Planned stores your planner on the device. The signed iPhone build also keeps a private copy in iCloud (CloudKit) tied to the Apple ID signed into that device. That database is not shared with other Apple IDs and is not on a server I run.

There is no Planned account, no analytics SDK, no ads, and no sale of personal data. The Mac zip on this site is unsigned and stays local to that Mac.
