How we chose
The best weekly planner app is the one still holding your plan late in the week, when two jobs have slid and the last days have filled up. So we judged every pick on the week, not the day: can you see all seven days at once, and can you move a job from one day to another without typing it again?
Each app on the list had to answer five questions:
- Does it show the whole week on one screen, on your phone as well as your computer?
- Can you move a task to another day?
- Do the appointments already in your Google, Outlook or iCloud calendar land in the same week as your jobs?
- Will it remind you?
- How much of it is free, and what does the rest cost?
Each entry is drawn from the maker's own site, pricing page, help articles and app store page, read on 30 October 2026. We haven't put the apps through hands-on tests, so nothing here carries a rating or a score. Prices are in US dollars as of October 2026; outside the US, app stores set local prices.
The 9 best weekly planner apps
Four of the nine start from a list of jobs, three from a calendar, and two wrap a weekly routine around the plan.
1. Tweek: best free weekly planner for most people
Tweek opens on the current week by default and feels like a paper diary: you write each job straight into the day it belongs to, then zoom in with the day view or switch to the month to look further ahead. Any job you leave unticked rolls on to tomorrow by itself, so a past day never fills up with stranded jobs. Apps: web, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android.
The free version gives you one calendar and two colours, and you can share it with as many people as you like. Paying US$5.99 a month, or US$49.99 a year, gets you calendar sync with Google, Outlook and Apple, plus reminders, subtasks and tasks that repeat. Up to five people can share a Family plan for US$89.99 a year.
Pick it if you want the week on one screen, for free, with nothing to set up. Skip it if your phone needs to buzz before things happen, because reminders and repeating tasks are part of the paid plan.
2. Google Calendar: best free week view with reminders
Google Calendar shows your time by day, week, month, year or four days, and the view you choose stays as your default. Tasks live in it as well: a task in Google Calendar gets a start time and the time you expect it to take, and you can mark it busy so nobody books over it.
It's free on the App Store, and it runs on the web, Android, iPhone, iPad, Wear OS and Apple Watch, synced through one Google account.
Pick it if your week is mostly appointments, classes or shifts and you want all of it free. Skip it if you want help deciding what goes where, because it only holds the plan you make.
3. Sunsama: best for a guided plan and review each week
Sunsama turns the week into two short sittings. At the start, it shows the goals you set last week. You drag forward the ones still open, add new ones and write a few lines about the week ahead. At the end, the weekly review shows the time you spent on those goals against everything else, then the work you finished day by day, and asks you to write down the wins and what pulled you off course. You can run both as one sitting, and it prompts you at the time you set. It plans the week as goals and leaves each day's tasks to that morning.
It syncs with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars, with apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android. There's a 14-day trial with no card needed, then a single plan: US$17 a month if you pay for the year, US$22 if you pay monthly.
Pick it if you want to be walked through Sunday's plan and Friday's look back, every week. Skip it if you'd rather not pay for a planner, or you mostly plan home life, because it's priced and pitched at people planning a working week.
4. TickTick: best for tasks, habits and a week view in one app
TickTick is a to-do list with a calendar and a habit tracker inside, plus a Pomodoro timer. Type a task with a day and a time in it, and TickTick picks them out. On a phone the week view comes two ways. One is a timeline, with timed tasks running down each day; the other is a grid, a box per day. Apps cover Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.
The free plan holds nine lists of up to 99 tasks each, with two reminders per task, five habits, a basic calendar and sync across devices. US$49.99 a year buys the paid plan, with more calendar views, task lengths, 299 lists and email reminders.
Pick it if you want your week, your habits and your reminders in one free app. Skip it if you want tasks shown as timed blocks across the week at no cost: giving a task a length is a paid feature.
5. Todoist: best for a to-do list you spread across the week
In Todoist, the Upcoming view lists every task due in the next seven days, from all your projects. Wednesday too full? Drag a task across to Friday. Switch to the board layout and each day becomes a column. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.
Beginner is free, with 5 personal projects and task reminders. Pro is US$60 a year, which works out at US$5 a month, or US$7 if you pay monthly. It adds the calendar layout by week or month, task lengths, deadlines and custom reminders.
Pick it if your week is a long list of jobs, not a timetable. Skip it if you want your tasks as blocks on a weekly calendar without paying, since only Pro gets the calendar layout.
6. Morgen: best for blocking time across several calendars
Morgen puts your Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars into one week, and its AI Planner helps you block time for your tasks around them. It has a booking page and scheduling links too, so other people can pick a free slot. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, phones and in the browser.
There's no free plan. After a 14-day trial with no card, it costs US$15 a month billed yearly or US$30 month to month, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Pick it if you keep a work calendar and a personal one and want both in the same week. Skip it if you have one calendar and a short list, because most of what you'd pay for is joining up calendars.
7. WeekPlan: best for planning the week around your goals
WeekPlan starts above the week. You write down where you want your life to go, the roles you play and the goals for each, then plan the week's tasks under them, so work doesn't swallow all seven days. It runs in the browser, with apps for iPhone and iPad and for Android.
The free Lite plan covers the basic planner and its high-impact tasks. The paid plan costs US$8.67 a month billed yearly or US$10.83 month to month, and adds custom roles, Google and Outlook calendar sync, repeating tasks, an Eisenhower matrix view and a journal.
Pick it if you set goals in January, lose them by March, and want each week tied back to them. Skip it if you only want a quick list for the week, because the goals are the point and it asks you for them.
8. Notion Calendar: best free week view if you already use Notion
Notion Calendar is a free calendar that syncs with Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars and shows items from your Notion databases, such as task due dates, beside your events. If your to-do list already lives in Notion, your jobs and your appointments land on the same week. It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with no version built for the iPad yet. Notion itself is free for one person organising personal projects and life.
Pick it if you plan in a Notion database already. Skip it if you don't use Notion, because on its own it holds your appointments and your tasks have nowhere to live.
9. ActivityTracker: best for routines, goals and a weekly look back
We build ActivityTracker. Its timetable shows your plan as colour-coded blocks, and in the week view you drag a block to another hour or another day. Once one weekday looks right, copy it across the working week, Monday to Friday. Type a task in one line with a day and a time, like "pottery Thursday 6pm", and it lands on Thursday at 6pm. Plan my day then slots your open tasks into the gaps in your work hours.
A routine can run every day or on the days of the week you pick, each at a set time, and if the time comes and it isn't ticked off, the assistant nudges you on Telegram or WhatsApp. At the end of the week you fill in a short weekly reflection. File it, and the Reflection Coach, which reads all your past reflections, replies with one thing to focus on next week. A goal with a target and a deadline shows what each month needs.
One person pays SGD 34 a month, after a one-time setup fee that covers the first month. It opens in your phone's browser. On an iPhone, add it to the Home Screen, or its reminders won't ring.
Pick it if you want the week's plan, your routines and a weekly look back in one app. Skip it if you're not paying for a planner.

Six of these cost nothing for a full week of planning: Tweek, Google Calendar, TickTick, Todoist, WeekPlan and Notion Calendar. Tweek won't remind you until you pay, and free Todoist shows your week as a list or a board, not a calendar.
On an iPhone, start with Tweek, or TickTick if you want reminders without paying. On an Android phone, start with TickTick or Todoist, both free and both with Android apps.
Weekly planner or to-do list?
A to-do list answers one question, what's left, and it never runs out of room. A weekly planner gives you seven days, and the days fill up. When six jobs won't fit into Tuesday, you want to find out on Sunday evening, not at 9pm on Tuesday.
- If your week is mostly fixed times, like shifts, lectures and appointments, start from a calendar: Google Calendar or Notion Calendar for free, or Morgen if you juggle several calendars.
- If it's mostly loose jobs with no set hour, like errands, study or a side project, start from a list spread across the days, in Tweek, TickTick or Todoist.
- If your week keeps drifting from what you meant to do, pick one with a routine built in: Sunsama, WeekPlan or ActivityTracker.
Work calendar and personal one kept apart? Join them before you plan, or you'll book the dentist on top of a meeting. Here's how to sync work and personal calendars in Google Calendar and Outlook.
Plan your week in 30 minutes
Plan at the same time every week, Sunday evening or Friday afternoon, and set a repeating reminder so the habit doesn't depend on memory.
- Look back for five minutes. Open last week, count what you planned and what got done, and note the one job that kept getting pushed.
- Put the fixed things in first: work hours, classes, appointments, the children's clubs. If your calendar is synced, they're already there.
- Add what repeats, like the gym on Monday and Wednesday or the bins on Thursday night. If keeping routines is the main thing you want, a routine app counts the streak for you.
- Pick the few things that would make it a good week, and give each one a day. Ten is too many.
- Spread the rest across the days, and leave one evening empty on purpose, because the week needs somewhere to put the jobs that slip.
- Give the big jobs an hour as well as a day. Saturday 9 to 11 for the bathroom grout is a plan, and "this weekend" is a hope. Time blocking apps exist for exactly this step.
Skip step 1 and the plan never gets better, so keep it small. Sunsama and ActivityTracker walk you through the look back. In the other seven apps, the repeating reminder is your prompt, and three questions do the job: What did I plan? What happened? What changes next week?
In ActivityTracker you type a task like "pottery Thursday 6pm" in one line and it lands on Thursday at 6pm, then Plan my day fits what's still open into a free gap.
See how tasks workWhat to do with last week's leftovers
How a planner treats unfinished jobs decides whether you still trust it by week three. Tweek rolls them forward to the next day, other apps leave them sitting overdue in red, and both go wrong the same way when nobody steps in: the pile grows, and a list you can never finish is a list you stop opening.
On Sunday, give every leftover one of three answers:
- Do it first thing Monday, if it takes under ten minutes.
- Give it a new day and an hour, if it still matters.
- Delete it, if the reason for it has gone. Note one word on why, so it doesn't creep back next week.
A job that has moved three weeks running is telling you something. Shrink it to a first step you can finish in one evening, or admit it isn't happening this month and take it off. For the big ones that keep slipping, like a course or a savings target, a goal tracking app shows how far behind you are. That nags less than one more overdue task.
Ana's first month with a weekly planner
Made-up example: Ana works four days a week at a dental clinic, takes a Spanish class on Tuesday evenings and is training for a half marathon in March. Her week lived in her head and on sticky notes, until she missed her niece's school concert because the date was on a note on the fridge.
She signs up for Tweek's free version that night, and at 7pm on Sunday she spends 30 minutes on the week ahead: clinic shifts Monday to Thursday, Spanish on Tuesday and runs on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Tweek's free version won't remind her, so her car service and a dinner booking also go into Google Calendar on her phone, with an alert an hour before.
A tax form moves three Sundays in a row, so she shrinks it to "find last year's numbers", which takes twenty minutes on a Monday.
Four weeks in, she has planned 52 jobs and done 45, seven of them a day late after Tweek rolled them forward. She deleted the other seven on Sundays, and she still hasn't paid, because her phone's calendar covers the reminders.
