Daily Planning · Your Calendar

A calendar planner that lets work in on your terms.

Your work calendar knows exactly where your Tuesday stands, because somebody paid good money to make sure of it. This calendar planner is about the moment that stops being a problem — when work’s meetings come into your planner, one by one, by invitation only.

Tap. Speak. Done.
The pain

Your day lives in a system that doesn’t work for you.

The shared calendar runs the meetings. It fills the hours, moves the hours, and never once asks what the hours were for. Everything you’re responsible for runs on a proper system — and your own day is what’s left over when work’s system is done with it.

A personal planner that can’t see work’s commitments isn’t a plan; it’s a guess. And handing your planner over to work’s calendar is worse — then nothing you own is yours.

  • “Work’s calendar knew my week better than I did.”
  • “Half my life was in a system I didn’t own.”
  • “The meeting was in one place and the promise I’d made was in my head.”
  • “I was scared to move anything in case it broke something at work.”

What is a calendar planner?

A calendar planner puts the fixed times and the rest of your life on one page: the appointments, and the tasks, focus and notes that fill the time around them. A calendar alone holds the meetings. A daily planner alone holds the plan. A calendar planner holds both — so the day you plan is the day you actually have.

A digital calendar planner keeps both in one place — the calendar and planner in the same app, on every screen you use.

The answer

Work asks. You decide.

No account connected, no permissions granted, nothing flowing back. The file never leaves your device. Import again whenever you like; anything already here is skipped.

In this film

  • A calendar file from work comes in, and every meeting has a tick box.
  • Untick what you never go to. One button, and only what you chose is in your week.
  • One-way — nothing you do here ever changes your work calendar. One tap undoes the whole import.

Why it matters

A planner is only yours if you control the door.

This is the whole idea of a personal planner: one place that answers to you. Your values, your goals, the thing promised at home, the health thing that’s been “next month” for a while — and yes, work’s meetings too, because they’re real. But they come in as guests, not landlords.

Your Day, your Week, your Month and your Year play out the way you decide — not the way a work calendar dictates.

The other direction

Nothing you put in is ever locked in.

The door works both ways. A standard calendar file — a .ics — free on every account, that every calendar app reads. Download your appointments and open them in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.

Settings › Export your calendar › Download

A calendar file lands in your downloads. Open it wherever you keep your calendar.

One control, no account to connect, and it is on the free plan. In by your choice, out whenever you want. Your data is yours — that isn’t a slogan here, it’s a button.

For coaches and the people they help

A program that arrives as an invitation.

If someone you trust — a coach, a trainer, a course — gives you their schedule as a calendar file, it comes through the same door with the same tick boxes. Their program, your planner, your decision on every line. And if you’re the coach: your clients can carry your program inside the planner they actually live in, without you touching their calendar or them surrendering it.

Every system I ever paid for ran the business beautifully and did nothing for me. The day I finally got was the day I decided what got into it. That’s the entire feature: you decide.

Calendar planner questions

Does it work with Google Calendar?

Yes, by file. Export a calendar file from Google Calendar and bring it in, ticking what enters. Export your own appointments as a .ics file and open them in Google Calendar. One-way — nothing you do here ever changes your work calendar.

Is it an online calendar planner?

Yes. It runs in any browser — iPad, phone, tablet, laptop or desktop — with nothing to install.

Is bringing a calendar in free?

Yes. Importing a calendar file and exporting your appointments are both on the free plan.

Does it connect to my work account?

No. There is no account to connect and no permissions to grant. The file never leaves your device.

Take your week back. It was always yours.

Free account. No card, no clock. Work’s meetings land in your daily planner — one place that answers to you.
