About Visual Timer & Day Planner
A gentle day planner that lays today out as pictures and bands of time.
A list of words is hard to hold in your head, and not knowing what comes next is unsettling. This is a planner you can see.
HOW LONG SOMETHING TAKES, SHOWN AS THE SIZE OF A BLOCK
Plans are laid out as coloured blocks with an emoji, and the length of the band is the length of the time. "How much longer" and "what is next" are answerable at a glance.
WHO IT IS FOR
- You want to see your morning routine or your flow before heading out
- A text-only schedule makes it hard to feel how much time you have
- You want to share the day's flow with a child, in pictures
- You prefer a rough shape of the day over fine task management
- Apps with scores and streaks never lasted for you
NOTHING TELLS YOU OFF
There are no marks for what you did not do, no completion rates and no streaks. A finished plan is finished; an unfinished one is "this far for today". That is all. You are not scored.
NOTIFICATIONS THAT DO NOT HURRY YOU
A notification says only that it is time for something. No urgent words, no exclamation marks. Plans late at night (10 pm to 7 am) have notifications off by default.
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO USE IT
1. Choose a ready-made day from "Pick a common day", such as morning prep, a work day or a day off
2. Edit the title, icon, color, length and time of each plan to suit you
3. On the Today screen, see today's plans laid out as bands
4. Mark a finished plan "Done", or "This far for today" if you got partway
5. Put plans that repeat every week into Routines, set by day of the week
6. Add a one-off plan for today on the spot
FOUR SCREENS
- Today: see today's plans as pictures and bands of time
- Routines: register repeating plans by day of the week, and move plans you no longer do into the archive
- Record: look back at past days from the calendar
- Settings: notifications, text size (standard, large, extra large), and backup export and import
MADE TO BE SAFE TO USE
- No ads
- No subscription
- Everything stays inside this device only (nothing is sent anywhere)
- No photos and no personal details are collected
- No account is needed
- The text follows the language of your device
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Does it show scores or streaks?
A. No. There are no completion rates and no streak counts.
Q. Can I add a plan for just today?
A. Yes. Besides routines, you can add a one-off plan for that day.
Q. How do notifications arrive?
A. When a plan's time comes, you get a quiet note saying only that it is time.
Q. What about changing phones?
A. Export a backup from the settings and load it on the new device.
Q. Is this a medical app?
A. No. It is a record tool that makes plans visible as pictures and time. It is not a medical device and is not meant for diagnosis or treatment.
Daily routines repeat by day of the week, and a one-off for today can be added on top. Colours and emoji are yours to choose. Because you can see it, it is easier to keep going.
Basic use is free. Only exporting your schedule as a text file is a one-time in-app purchase (a single payment of ¥200 in Japan, no subscription; the price is shown in the store). The app connects to the internet only to confirm a purchase, and your records are not sent anywhere.
