Plan less. Finish more.
Most to-do lists only know how to grow. You finish three things, add five, and the day ends with the list longer than it started. The tool calls that normal.
eudy is a daily planner with a limit, built on the well-established 1-3-5 method: one big task, three medium, five small, plus your health and your meals. A whole day, planned. When your tasks are finished, your day is over.
Finite on purpose
eudy gives you a fixed number of task slots, and the limit is the point. Fill them and you can see the whole day at once: what matters, what comes next, where it ends. An infinite list never lets you know when your day is finished. A finite one can.
The shape is the ranking
Your day gets a shape. One big task gives it a point: the most asking task. Three medium tasks are the ones that must get done. Five small ones give the little stuff a place of its own, so it can't quietly take over. You place things, and the placing is the ranking.
The value is in the few quiet minutes where you decide what's worth your week. eudy is designed around that moment, and then it gets out of your way. Deciding once buys you the whole day, because you always know what you should be doing: you're the one who said so.
Plan the week, run the day in sequence
The Week view shows your entire week at a glance. Plan there: pick what matters, spread it across the days, and see the shape of the week before it starts.
The Today view runs the day, and every day is a sequence. Drag your tasks into the order you want to accomplish them, and the thinking is done. Finish something and the next task is already chosen. Get interrupted, and the order still holds: you pick up exactly where you left off, without wasting more time in your planner.
A day in eudy is a sequence, not a schedule. Nothing is pinned to a clock, so you never have to guess how long a task will take, and a slow start doesn't invalidate the plan. Focus mode goes a step further: one task on the screen, everything else waiting its turn, with an optional Pomodoro timer.
Done, and you know it
The moment eudy is built around: you check the last box and know it was the last one. Done, with nothing waiting underneath. A finite day is a day that can end, and reaching the end is the whole reward. You'll know when you're done, because you decided what the day was.
The rest is yours
When the day is done, eudy is done too. Nothing follows you out. The plan got its hours, and the rest are yours.
What eudy will never do:
- Bury you under an infinite backlog
- Shame you for missing a day
- Squeeze your day into time blocks that don't reflect reality
- Chase your attention with streaks, red badges, or guilt
- Sell or mine the contents of your plans
- Do your deciding for you, AI or otherwise
- Use what you write to train an AI model, ours or anyone else's
Built with ADHD in mind
eudy is built with ADHD in mind, though it's not a medical product. Most planners quietly demand the exact skills ADHD taxes: estimating how long things will take, holding stray thoughts in your head, staying interested without novelty. eudy is designed to not need them.
Time blocking is the clearest example. It asks you to guess durations all day, and one wrong guess breaks the whole grid. A sequence never asks. You choose the order, and the day flexes: a slow start, a hyperfocus stretch that runs long, an interruption. The order holds, and what's next is still next.
The Bin does the remembering. A stray thought goes in the moment it shows up, and gets a real slot when you're ready, so keeping things in your head stops being the system. Focus mode holds up one task at a time, so the rest of the day can't compete for your attention.
And nothing punishes you. No streaks to lose, no overdue counters, no red badges piling up. If planners have always turned into one more list you're losing to, the cap is the point: 1 big, 3 medium, and 5 small is a size your attention can hold. For anyone neurodivergent in other ways too, there's a low-stimulation mode that quiets everything the app would otherwise start, a dyslexia-friendly font, reduced motion, and adjustable text size, because a planner shouldn't be one more thing shouting at you.
Advanced features
The core stays simple on purpose. But when your weeks carry more structure than a blank grid, eudy can hold it:
- Regular Schedule. Teach eudy your normal week once and every new week arrives already planned. Change it once, it changes everywhere.
- Quick capture that reads plain words. Type "gym tomorrow" or "bills on the 15th" and the task lands in the right slot. Type "every weekday" and eudy offers to make it part of your Regular Schedule.
- Recurring Reminders. The bill on the 15th, water the plants every third day. They live off the grid, so maintenance never eats a task slot.
- Task alarms. Any task or reminder can ping you at a real time. The time is attached to the task, so rescheduling the task moves the alarm.
- Repeating tasks (Premium). Rules your Regular Schedule can't express, like the last Saturday of every month, placed into real slots automatically.
- Shape your week (Premium). Different task counts for different weekdays, lighter days, whole days off. A week shaped to your real days.
- Calendar view (Premium). Plan weeks ahead on a full month grid, and connect your own external calendar so booked time sits right next to the plan.
- Every color theme (Premium). The accessibility themes, High Contrast and Colorblind, are free for everyone.
The full planner is free, with no time limit, and syncing across your devices is free too. Premium is how eudy fits itself to your work: one payment if you want it permanently, or a subscription if you prefer. Pricing is on the front page.
Who makes it
I made eudy for myself. As someone who has been self-employed or had side gigs most of my life, I never found a planner that didn't become overwhelming or lock me into a timed day that fell apart when the day actually started. And I never found an app that let me say "my day is done." eudy has been life-changing for me. I have more free time and I'm more productive than ever, so I've wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
I own eudy outright. There is no venture capital or private equity behind it, and it answers only to its customers. Software gets worse when it answers to investors. eudy is paid for directly by the people who use it, not a pool of investors who never touched it.
eudy is named after the ancient Greek concept of eudaimonia – the idea of having a full, flourishing, good life. That's what using eudy has allowed me to have. If it's the planner you've been looking for too, I hope it serves you well.
You don't have to choose. Accomplish your goals and still live a good life.
