About Anchor: Daily Planner & Focus

Plan your focus, not your time. Most planners ask you to predict your day down to the minute. Anchor doesn't. Instead of scheduling every task to exact times, you organize your day around focus blocks — flexible containers for the work that matters. Things move around. That's fine. The plan adapts with you. Built for people who already know how to work; they just need a calm place to lay it all out. HOW IT WORKS: Capture what's on your mind. Type naturally or use Smart Dates to turn "finish proposal by Friday" into a real task. No forms, no friction. Drop tasks into focus blocks. Drag them into blocks that match your day. Big projects span blocks. Small things group together. Your calendar events show up alongside them. Anchor in, one block at a time. Focus on what's in front of you. When a block's done, move on. Something left over? Move it forward. No guilt. WHAT'S INSIDE: Time blocking that bends around your day Smart Dates Calendar and Reminders sync Widgets, Live Activity, and Siri shortcuts Focus mode with distraction shielding Repeating blocks and custom icons Works offline. No account required Your data stays on your device, secured by Apple WHO IT'S FOR Freelancers juggling clients and context switching. Founders wearing too many hats before lunch. Parents balancing deep work and school runs. Students navigating coursework and side projects. Anyone who doesn't need to be told how to work. MADE BY A HUMAN Anchor is designed and built by an independent developer — no venture capital, no growth hacks, no ads. Just a tool made with care for people who want less noise and more focus.

What’s new

Version 1.0.4 · Updated May 4, 2026

New Onboarding A guided walkthrough that introduces the app and sets up your day, integrations, and widgets. Dark Mode A polished dark experience that's easier on the eyes at night. Pick System, Light, or Dark in Settings. New Widgets Three lock-screen widgets, a Today home-screen widget with a live focus ring, and Add Task for quick capture. Task & Day Reminders Set a task date to be notified at the time, or 10 min / 1 hr / 1 day before. Plus a Plan-Your-Day morning nudge. Fixes • Custom anchor splash screen and faster cold launch, no more black flash on open • Calendar timeline opens with the current time centered, with no visible snap • Task list rows no longer flash from empty to populated on cold launch • Unselecting a Reminders list now unlinks its project locally instead of silently continuing to sync • Deleting a project in Anchor no longer deletes the matching list in Apple Reminders
