App Store Award finalist Planny rolls a calendar, to-do list and productivity minder into one, giving you a convenient date-based view of what you need to do next.
What we love: Planning the week ahead using the app’s handy Calendar view, which lets you move tasks between times using drag and drop. Have unplanned tasks? Click Plan to view those tasks side by side with your daily schedules – simply drag a task to schedule it. And it’s easy to add new tasks and events, regardless of what app is frontmost, using Planny’s systemwide menus.

Quick tip: Click any task to see and configure details, including the list it belongs to, any subtasks, the scheduled date and time, and priority. You can also assign a duration, which gives the task a structured time block – and a focus timer you can start by clicking the timer icon.

Meet the creator: Indie developer Kevin Reutter created Planny to help struggling students (including himself at the time) manage tasks. His other creations include the flash-card app Flippy and grocery tracker Freshy.
