Planzu

Important things don't arrive when it's convenient. They show up as thoughts you don’t want to lose.

Planzu gives you a place to set them down — and come back when they’re ready to make sense.

You already know how to do this

The loop is simple. You probably already do this in your head — Planzu just holds it.

1

Capture

Inbox accepts everything. No fields to fill. No decisions to make. You don’t need to know what something means to write it down — just don’t lose it.

2

Clarify

When your mind is clear, decide. Is this a task? A goal? Something for later? Assign a context (@desk, @errands, @phone), set a date, or move it to Someday. Clarifying isn’t sorting — it’s understanding what you actually meant.

3

Review

Not a status check. An opportunity to ask: what still matters? What changed? What can wait? A reflection drawn from philosophy, craft, or tradition surfaces to help you see clearly — not to tell you what to do.

Work organized by context, not urgency. @desk items for desk time. @errands for when you’re out. @phone for when you’re making calls.

Context view showing color-coded contexts

Contexts

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.

Goals view showing work organized by intention

Goals

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.

Someday list showing deferred ideas

Someday

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.

Ticklers showing future-dated reminders

Ticklers

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.

Philosophical reflection shown during weekly review

Philosophical Reflections

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.

What this enables

When capture is frictionless, clarify is thoughtful, and review offers perspective:

You stop losing things

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.

You stop carrying everything

When you trust your system to remember, you stop running a mental background process of "things I can't forget." That cognitive load disappears.

You make better decisions

Clarifying later means you're not deciding under pressure. You're deciding when you have time to think. Better context, better choices.

You work from intention, not urgency

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?"

One purchase. iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

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.

And we don't track any of it

Most productivity apps track everything you do. Planzu doesn't.

No Tracking

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.

Local-First Storage

Your data stays on your device. Optional iCloud sync is encrypted end-to-end. No servers processing your tasks. No third parties.

One-Time Purchase

$19.99. No subscription. No upsells. No "premium features" locked behind paywalls. You own it.

No Account Required

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.

Who this is for

Planzu works best for people who:

Make promises they want to keep

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.

Juggle more than one life

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.

Know they need a system, but hate being told how to think

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.
