What it is

A daily planner for real task lists

Plando is a free iPhone and iPad productivity app for people who want a simple to-do list, but also need enough structure for due dates, subtasks, notes, shared responsibilities, and task review.

Plan daily tasks

Create tasks with notes, due dates, reminders, subtasks, and category lists for work, life, sport, or your own custom areas.

Review task patterns

Use effort, enjoyment, and importance scores to understand what kinds of tasks fill your day, week, or month.

Coordinate in groups

Share task groups with family or a small team, assign work, receive completion notifications, and use optional proof photos.

Sync and work offline

Start without sign-up, keep planning when offline, and let cloud sync update your devices when the connection returns.

Keep the day visible

Use small, medium, and large home-screen widgets to keep current tasks close without opening the full app every time.

Reflect with AI insights

Generate short report reflections from aggregated task statistics. Task titles and notes are not sent to the AI model.

Energy Matrix

Review how your energy is distributed across tasks

The Energy Matrix is not a rule telling you what to do next. It is a report for reflection: it plots tasks by enjoyment and importance, with color showing effort, so you can notice patterns in the tasks you complete, postpone, or carry forward.

This helps Plando work as more than a checklist. Over time, the report can show whether your task list is mostly critical work, easy maintenance, draining errands, or work that feels rewarding enough to protect.

Critical + Draining Important tasks that may take more effort or recovery time.
Critical + Energizing Important tasks that tend to feel rewarding or meaningful.
Casual + Draining Lower-importance tasks that repeatedly consume energy.
Casual + Energizing Lower-pressure tasks that still feel light or motivating.

For people and small groups

From personal planning to shared accountability

Use Plando as a private daily planner, or create a shared group when a list becomes a family routine, a household project, a study plan, or a small-team workflow.

  • Personal tasks: unlimited tasks and lists for your own planning.
  • Shared groups: invite with an 8-character code or QR code, then assign tasks to members.
  • Completion flow: receive notifications when group tasks are done, with optional photo proof for selected tasks.
  • Privacy-aware AI: insights use aggregated numbers, not task titles, notes, assignees, or free-text content.
