Your whole day, on one clear sheet.
Day Plan turns a busy Google Calendar into one colour-coded day on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with an assistant that changes it when you ask, and only after you approve.

The day sheet
It takes after the printed A4 day sheet: the whole day on one page, in time order, so a glance tells you where you are and what comes next.
- 1
Key moments
The few times that matter most sit at the top: when to leave, when the gym starts, when tennis is.
- 2
The whole day, to scale
A colour bar of the day with a marker for now, so a glance shows where the time goes and where the gaps are.
- 3
Every item, with a note
Each event with its start time, how long it lasts and a short note: travel times, what to bring, where to be.
Colours come from the words in your event titles, so the same kind of thing always looks the same.
How a change happens
Say what you want. Day Plan works out the change and shows it to you on your day. Nothing happens until you approve.
- 1
Say it
Tap the microphone, or press Command-K on a Mac, and say what you want changed. Your speech is turned into text on the device itself.
- 2
It checks your day
The assistant reads your calendar, finds the free time, and keeps travel and sleep in mind.
- 3
See it on your sheet
New, moved and removed items are marked on your day sheet. Nothing has changed yet.
- 4
Approve, or don't
Approve all of it or just part, or ask for a change to the proposal. Any change can be undone later from the history.
Always at hand
Your day is a glance away on every screen, and the assistant is a tap or a phrase away.
- Widgets
- Now and Next shows what's on now, how long is left and what's next. Today shows your day bar and what's coming up. Next moment shows the next key time.
- On the Mac
- A menu bar panel keeps today in reach, and Command-K starts the assistant.
- Siri
- Say “Tell Day Plan” or “Talk to Day Plan” to ask for a change.
- Week view
- The days ahead, laid out together.
- Printing
- Every day sheet prints as an A4 page.
- Check-ins
- A look at tomorrow at 20:30 and the week ahead on Sundays at 18:00, in your own time zone.
- Your calendar changes only after you approve.
- Bookings Google adds to your calendar from Gmail are treated as fixed: Day Plan plans around them and never moves them.
- Speech is turned into text on your device.
- The short notes it learns about your routines and preferences are there for you to see and delete.
- Each plan includes a monthly allowance, shown as a simple percentage, so there are no surprise bills.
- Conversations are kept for 90 days and change history for a year, so any change can be undone.
Your Google data
- Google Calendar: reads your events, and changes them only after you approve a change in the app.
- Your Google email address, to show which account is connected.
How it's built
For the technically curious.
- App
- One SwiftUI codebase for the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps, plus widgets.
- Speech
- Apple's speech model, running on the device, so your voice never leaves it.
- Assistant
- A planning agent on my own server, using models through OpenRouter. It proposes changes for you to approve.
- Google Calendar through Google's API.
- Schedule
- Check-ins at 06:00 each morning, at 20:30 for tomorrow, and on Sundays at 18:00 for the week ahead.
- Conventions
- Titles like “Thing: detail”. Travel kept inside one event, with a travel line in the notes: “Outbound travel 10:45–11:00; return 12:00–12:15.” Times in 5-minute steps, no overlaps, and sleep as one event.
Day Plan is coming to the App Store, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
It works with Google Calendar. If you'd like to know when it's out, or have a question about it, get in touch.
