Best planner apps
Eight apps for planning your day and week, what each costs, and who each one suits.

We make Palby Planner.
Your tasks, your Google Calendar, your routines and your habits on one day. Type a task the way you'd say it, "dentist fri 3pm", and it lands on Friday at 3pm. Today shows only what's due, and a timetable puts the tasks on the hours beside your Google events.
Routines come back on the days you pick and nudge you on Telegram if they slip. Habits keep a streak, a 25-minute focus timer ticks the task off when you tap Done, and notes sit in folders beside the list.
Todoist says 50+ million people use it. Smart Quick Add reads a date as you type, the Beginner plan has 5 projects and 3 filter views, and there's an app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and watches. Pro adds a calendar layout, task duration and deadlines.
TickTick puts tasks, five calendar views, a habit tracker, a 25-minute Pomodoro timer and the Eisenhower matrix in one app, on phone, computer, tablet and watch. The US$0 plan has 9 lists of up to 99 tasks.
Any.do is a to-do list, planner and calendar. The US$0 Personal plan covers tasks, lists, reminders, a calendar and a daily planner. Premium adds recurring tasks and reminders in WhatsApp or by location, and a Family plan shares lists between four people.
Sunsama calls itself a digital daily planner. It walks you through planning your day, puts tasks and meetings in one plan, pulls work in from Asana, Trello, Jira, email and Slack, and syncs both ways with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars.
Akiflow is one app for tasks and calendars, powered by AI, built for "founders, operators, and obsessed doers". Its universal inbox turns emails into tasks and saves Slack messages, and you time block the day from there.
Motion's AI calendar auto-plans your day, and the same app runs AI projects, docs and a meeting notetaker. It has iOS, Android and desktop apps.
Morgen joins Google, Outlook, Apple and Fastmail calendars in one app, pulls tasks from Notion, ClickUp, Linear or Todoist, and blocks out the day with its AI Planner. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile and the browser.
The one you still open next month, which for most people means a task takes one line, today shows only what's due and the calendar sits beside the list. That's what Palby Planner is built around. If you want to start at US$0, Todoist and TickTick are both strong picks.
From their own pages: Todoist, TickTick and Any.do each have a US$0 plan. Sunsama, Akiflow and Morgen start with a trial.
