Five moments
Your week, with the calendar in view
01Planning tomorrow
See tomorrow's events and tasks in one view.
Tomorrow's dentist, school run and dinner sit on the planner beside your tasks. You see the free hour before you promise it to anything.
- Your Google events by day, week or month
- Tasks waiting to be placed, in a strip beside them
- Events stay as they are in Google
02Finding the hour
Drop each task into a gap between your events.
Today's tasks wait in a Fit these in strip. Drag one into a gap on your computer, or tap the task and then the slot on your phone, and the hour is yours.
- Drag and drop on a computer

05Someone needs a time
No more back-and-forth to find a time.
Make a booking page and send its link when the tutor or the plumber needs a time. It reads your Google Calendar, so a busy hour never shows, and the booking lands on your calendar.
- One link to send
- Bookings land on your calendar

Questions
The one that puts your events and your tasks on the same screen. Pick one where a task drops into a free hour, and the time you plan can go back onto Google. That's what Palby Planner is built around.
Your tasks. Google shows the dentist and the school run. Here your to-do list sits beside them, so you can see the free hour and drag a task into it, or tap it into a slot on your phone.
Only if you ask it to. Your events come into the planner to read, not to edit. Your planned blocks go onto Google only when you switch on Block my Google Calendar.
Only the ones you place as a block, with Block my Google Calendar on. A task with just a date stays in the planner.
Not yet. Google Calendar is the one it connects to today.
Yes. For each calendar you choose whether it shows, whether its event titles show, and whether it counts as busy.
Not yet. Palby Planner installs from your browser on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows, and opens from its own icon like any other app.
