- A 15-minute break after 60, 90 or 120 minutes

Questions
Giving each task its own slot on the day instead of a place on a list. You see what fits before the day starts, and you know what each hour is for.
Yes. Connect Google Calendar and your events show on the timetable. Turn on Block my Google Calendar and your blocks show there as busy.
If you want it to. Plan my day finds a spot for each open task in the gaps between your events, inside your work hours, and places them with one button. Undo takes them back.
An hour unless you pick 30 minutes or two. A task you drop on the grid starts at 30 minutes. Drag the bottom edge to make any block longer or shorter.
Because changing the plan takes one drag. Move a block to later or to tomorrow, and the rest of the day stays where it was.
