Important things don't arrive when it's convenient. They show up as passing thoughts, half-formed ideas, quiet intentions you don't want to lose
Planzu gives you a place to set them down — a task manager that actually trusts how you think.
iPhone, iPad, and Mac — one purchase
You know the relief of writing something down. You know the clarity that comes from asking "What does this actually mean?" You know that some decisions require distance, not speed.
The problem isn't you. The problem is tools that force you to decide what something is before you're ready. Tools that demand categorization when you need capture. Tools that optimize for their structure, not your thinking.
What if your system just trusted you instead?
Planzu is built around how thinking actually works
You don't need to know what something is to write it down. Capture means trusting that you'll figure it out later. Planzu's inbox holds everything without demanding answers.
Later, when your mind is clear, you decide. Is this a task? A goal? A reminder? Three separate things? Clarifying isn't sorting—it's understanding what you actually meant.
Your weekly review isn't a status check. It's an opportunity to ask: What still matters? What changed? What can wait? Planzu offers a prompt drawn from a wide range of human thought—philosophy, craft, tradition, practice—not to tell you what to do, but to help you see clearly.
Here's what the loop looks like when you're actually using it
Inbox accepts everything. No fields to fill. No decisions to make. Just type and move on.
Process your inbox when you're ready. Assign contexts (@desk, @phone, @errands), set dates, or defer to Someday.
Check your contexts when they matter. Philosophical reflections offer perspective: "In jazz, silence is as important as sound."
Work organized by context, not urgency. @desk items for desk time. @errands for when you're out. @phone for when you're making calls.
Work happens in different places. @errands for when you're out. @phone for calls you need to make. @desk for focused work. Contexts filter your list to what's actually possible right now — so you're never staring at tasks you can't act on.
Some tasks belong to something bigger. Goals let you group work by what it's actually for — "Make my mark at work," "Build a good life with Sam." Not a project manager. Just a way to see what your effort is building toward.
Not everything is ready to act on. Someday holds ideas that deserve to exist without demanding your attention — a trip you want to take, a project you keep meaning to start. Out of your way now. There when you're ready.
Some things only matter at a specific moment. Ticklers surface a task on the date you choose — not before, not after. Follow up with someone in five days. Revisit a decision next month. Your system carries it so you don't have to.
When you sit down to review, Planzu may offer a short reflection — drawn from centuries of human thought. Philosophy, craft, music, sport, tradition. Randomly selected, never algorithmic. Not advice. Just a different angle, for when you need to see things differently.
When capture is frictionless, clarify is thoughtful, and review offers perspective:
That idea you had in the shower, that thing your colleague mentioned in passing, those errands you need to run this weekend—they all land safely in your inbox. Nothing falls through the cracks.
When you trust your system to remember, you stop running a mental background process of "things I can't forget." That cognitive load disappears.
Clarifying later means you're not deciding under pressure. You're deciding when you have time to think. Better context, better choices.
Contexts organize by situation, not deadline. When you're at your desk, you see desk work. When you're running errands, you see errands. No more "what should I do next?"
Planzu is a universal app. Buy it once and it's yours on every Apple device you own — no separate Mac version, no "desktop upgrade," no per-platform fees.
Each version is complete on its own. The iPhone app is not a trimmed-down companion — it's where most capture happens, because that's where life happens. The Mac app is not a dashboard bolt-on — it's where review and organization feel most natural, with the space and keyboard to think clearly.
Together, they cover the whole loop. Capture on your phone when your boss mentions something in a hallway. Review and organize on your Mac when you have an hour to think. One system. One purchase. Always in sync via iCloud.
Most productivity apps track everything you do. Planzu doesn't.
Planzu doesn't track what you do, when you do it, or how you work. No analytics. No behavioral profiling. Your workflow is your business.
Your data stays on your device. Optional iCloud sync is encrypted end-to-end. No servers processing your tasks. No third parties.
$19.99. No subscription. No upsells. No "premium features" locked behind paywalls. You own it.
Planzu doesn't ask you to create an account, verify an email, or hand over your identity before you can use it. Open the app, start capturing. Your data belongs to the device, not a login.
Planzu works best for people who:
Your partner asked you to handle something. Your boss mentioned something in passing. You told yourself you'd follow up. Planzu is the place to put it so "I've got it" actually means something.
Work, home, errands, side projects, family. You're not one person doing one thing—you're several people doing several things. A system that sorts by context helps you show up as the right person at the right time.
You're done trading your attention and data for features. You want something that works for you, not an app that studies your habits to sell you something.
You don't need a methodology lecture. You don't want to be gamified or coached. You just need a reliable place to put things so your brain can stop holding on so tight.
