Frequently asked

From the Habits tab, the circle in the corner opens a small sheet. Name it, pick a colour, done. On a desktop, the same composer sits at the foot of the list.

Nothing wrong with paper. Planye keeps what paper is bad at (totals, carrying a habit forward, jumping between a day and the year around it) and leaves the rest exactly as blank as a page.

It does the four things a paper planner cannot, and that you end up doing by hand: it adds up a month of spending, carries an unfinished line into next week, redraws a habit's chain as you keep it, and lets you jump from a Tuesday to the year holding it without flipping anything.

What it deliberately keeps from paper is the blankness. A page starts empty, nothing is scored, nothing is due, and no day nags. If a physical planner works for you because it asks nothing of you, that part survives the move.

The honest difference is that it is on a screen. A paper planner never runs out of battery and nothing on it is stored anywhere but your desk. Planye answers the second half by keeping the copy on your device the real one, and syncing only to your own account.

Because a plan is only useful where you are. A digital planner is on the phone in your pocket at the moment you agree to something, which is when a plan is actually made, and at the desk later when you decide what to do about it.

After that it is the arithmetic and the repetition. A virtual planner totals a budget while you type it, repeats a habit every week without you rewriting the row, and searches a year of notes in the time it takes to remember which month it was.

What you give up is the ritual of the paper. Planye tries to give some of it back (your own themes, tapes, papers and handwriting on a journal page) rather than pretending it doesn't matter.

A planner's benefit is that you decide what matters once, while you are calm, instead of a dozen times a day by whatever showed up first. It is not that you get more done: ten minutes in the morning mostly buys you an evening that goes the way you meant it to.

It also makes patterns visible. A month of moods, a season of spending, a habit's chain, a year of memories. None of those exist on any single day, and all of them change what you decide next.

Going virtual is what draws those patterns for you. A paper planner can hold the same information and leaves the totalling, tallying and cross-referencing to you; a digital one draws the month back at you the moment you finish writing the day.

Planye is a digital planner for the whole of 2027, and the years after it, in a browser and on a phone: your week on a grid of days and your own categories, the month and the year around it, a journal, and trackers for habits, mood, money and cycle.

It starts on the day you open it rather than in January, so it can be set up now and already fit you when the year turns. The core of it is free with no time limit.

Start with this week, not the whole year. Write in what is already true, group it the way your life is actually shaped, and look at it at the same moment each day.

Add a budget, a habit or a journal only once you find yourself missing one. A planner set up for everything on the first day is the kind that gets abandoned by February.

No, and starting a few weeks early helps. A planner begun in November is a practice run: by New Year you know which categories you really use. Planye has no first page, so every week of 2027 is already there to write on whenever you begin.

Look back before you look forward, with ten minutes on what last year taught you. Then choose one to three outcomes for the year, put the fixed dates on the calendar, pick one habit rather than nine, and give the first month a budget.

In Planye each of those has a place: Memories for looking back, the year's Plan page for outcomes, the year calendar for dates, and Habits and Money for the rest.

Give each part of your life one place to live, and only the parts you actually use. Work and home become categories on your week, goals go on the year's plan, routines become habits, spending gets a monthly budget, and everything to remember goes in lists or a journal.

Planye holds all of those in one app, but a new planner opens with only five pages. The rest wait in Customize until you want them.

Yes, in the planner itself rather than in a separate app. A goal for the year or the month is a milestone on its Plan page, the part that repeats becomes a habit, and something you are making over months becomes a project with stages.

Progress is drawn, never scored. The Life wheel shows where each part of your life stands against where you'd like it, a habit draws a chain with gaps rather than broken streaks, and a project's bar is one you slide yourself.

On the Plan page of the year or the month, as milestones: seven cells for the results that would make that stretch of time count. Put this week's step towards one on your week, and turn anything you mean to do often into a habit.

One with almost nothing to set up and nothing to feel behind on. Planye opens with five pages, keeps no streaks or overdue counts, moves an unfinished line forward with a tap, and shows the whole week on one screen. In the phone app a task can remind you at a time you choose.

It is not a medical tool and doesn't claim to treat anything. It is a planner that leaves out the parts that tend to make one feel like a test.

Planye works as one, without drawing the spreads. Rapid logging is lines on your week with a square, a circle or no box, the future log is the year's calendar, the monthly log is the month, collections are lists and trackers are habits and mood. Migrating a task is moving it forward with a tap.

The decorated pages are still there if you want them: a journal page is a canvas you arrange with photos, washi tape and stickers.

A category per class, the timetable on the clock and the term on one page. In Planye each subject becomes a category with its own colour, the Time view holds lectures and study blocks by the hour, a thesis becomes a project with stages, and the year's calendar shows every exam at once.

All of that is on the free plan, on your phone and your laptop.

Planye is made to be nice to open. A theme changes the paper, the ink, the colours and the fonts at once, any colour can come from your own colour wheel, and pages can wear backgrounds, stickers and washi tape.

Free comes with a selection of each, and Planye+ opens the full collections of themes, papers and tape.

On Android, yes: Planye is on Google Play, the same planner and the same account as the website. An App Store version is coming. On an iPhone today, open planye.com in Safari, press Share and then Add to Home Screen, and it sits there like any other app.

Both, and a monthly and yearly one around them. On a computer the week shows all seven days at once. On a phone it opens on today, one day at a time, with the rest of the week a tap away. The month and the year are one tab over, and the same entries are in every view.

Yes. The Time view sets your week against the hours of the day, so the tasks you already wrote can be given a slot and a length. It is the same entries with the same colours as your categories, one switch apart, so planning by the clock never means writing anything twice.

It works like one where it matters. It starts on whatever day you open it, a skipped week or month leaves nothing wasted, and there is no first page to wait for. The difference from a paper undated planner is that the dates are written for you, for this year and every year after.

What you write in Planye is yours. We do not read it, we do not train anything on it and we do not sell it, and you can delete all of it whenever you like.

The copy on your device is the real one, and syncing only keeps your own devices in step through your own account.

A calendar holds what happens at a time. A planner holds everything else: the tasks with no hour, the habits, the money, and what the week is for. Most people need both, which is why Planye can show your Google or Outlook calendar on your week instead of asking you to choose.

Yes, every core part is free, with no time limit and no card: the day, week, month and year planner, the journal, mood, budget, cycle logging, habits, lists, projects, the shelf and writing a time capsule. Free is meant to be a planner you can live in, not a demo that expires.

Planye+ has a free trial. If you want to try what it adds before deciding, starting one from the pricing page sets your card up and charges nothing to it for 7 days. Cancel before then and it costs nothing at all.

Planye+ mostly lets you keep more, rather than unlocking new features. Free keeps five habits, ten lists, ten notebooks, five projects, fifteen things on the shelf and two capsules sealed at a time; Planye+ makes those unlimited, opens the full theme, tape and paper collections, adds the cycle history and forecast, and lets you show a connected calendar on your week.

Nothing you write is ever held hostage. If you pass a limit or stop paying, everything you already made stays exactly where it is: nothing is deleted, nothing is hidden, and what is over a free limit becomes read-only rather than gone.

Yes, and the pages are not the limit. There is a journal for every day of the year, and you can add as many pages to a day as you like. The number of pages is not what Planye+ is about.

Writing, photos, tape, text bubbles and the layout tools are all free. The free plan has a limit on how much media the whole journal holds (500 MB, against 5 GB on Planye+) and a smaller set of papers to write on; the rest of the catalogue comes with Planye+.

Stickers are there, and so is tape. Some packs are free and the rest come with Planye+; every woven tape is free in any colour. Nothing you have already placed is ever taken back off.

No. Planye runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet and a computer, and everything is typed and tapped. Any browser can put it on a home screen as an icon if you want it out of your tabs.

The layout changes with the screen: a computer shows the whole week, a phone shows one day at a time. Plan your week on a laptop, tick things off on your phone, and both stay in sync.

English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese. Portuguese comes as Brazil's and Portugal's, Spanish as Latin America's and Spain's, and French as France's and Canada's. All of Planye is in each of them: the planner, the help pages, the emails it sends and the website.

It starts in your device's language when that is one of the seven, and in English when it is not. Your device's region picks the version: Portuguese from anywhere but Brazil reads Portugal's, and Spanish and French read Spain's and Canada's there and Latin America's and France's everywhere else.

To change it, open the account menu at the foot of the spine, then Profile, then Language & clock. Device language there goes back to following your phone or computer. On the website, the choice is at the very bottom of the home page.

The assistant works in all seven. It listens in the language the app is set to and answers in whichever one you write in.

A notes app holds anything and knows nothing about it, so the totalling, the repeating and the looking back are still yours to do. A spreadsheet does the arithmetic, but it knows nothing about your week.

Planye sits between the two: the structure is there when it helps (a budget adds up, a habit repeats, an unfinished line carries forward) and out of the way when it doesn't (a day is a blank page you can write anything on).

It is also one place rather than five. The mood, the spending, the journal and the plan all sit on the same day, which is the whole reason a month of them ever tells you anything.

Notion is a blank workspace you build a planner inside; Planye arrives as one. In Notion the week, the habit tracker and the budget are pages and databases you design, link together and keep working yourself. In Planye they are already there and already on the same days, and a new planner opens with five of them rather than an empty page.

Notion is the better choice if building the system is the part you enjoy, or if your planner has to live beside a team's documents. Planye is for somebody who wants the result without the setup: open it, pick a cover, write one thing down.

What Planye keeps from the build-it-yourself approach is the choice: your own categories, only the modules you switch on, and your own papers, themes and tape, without wiring any of it together.

No, and it is the most common mix-up with the words "digital planner". A PDF planner is a paper planner made for a tablet: designed pages with tabs, written on with a stylus in an app like Goodnotes. It looks like paper and behaves like paper, so it cannot total, repeat or move anything for you either.

Planye is a planner that works like software. A task moves to Thursday instead of being crossed out, a budget adds itself up, a habit repeats every week without being redrawn, and a Tuesday opens into the month and the year around it. It runs on a phone, a tablet or a computer and needs no stylus.

A PDF planner is the better choice if the handwriting is the point and you already own the tablet and the pen. Planye keeps some of that feel (papers, tape, stickers and a journal page you arrange by hand) but it is typed and tapped, not drawn.

Because the useful part is where they meet. In separate apps a low week, a spike in spending and a skipped habit are three facts in three places. In Planye they sit on the same day, so a month of them can actually tell you something.

It is also one thing to open instead of four. Most tracking stops because keeping several apps up to date is a chore of its own, and one planner opened once a day is the version that lasts.

A dedicated app goes deeper at its one job, and if you only ever want to track one thing, it is the better answer. Planye's trackers are deliberately simple, a tap or a line a day, because they are there to be kept alongside a week rather than studied on their own.

Planye is the most complete of them in one place: the week, month and year, habits, mood, budget, cycle, projects, lists, a reading and watching shelf, time capsules and a full journal. Eleven modules on one account, rather than a planner here and a habit tracker there.

It does not hand you all eleven on day one. A new planner opens with five, and the rest are switched on from Customize whenever you want them. A page holding everything you have never used is the reason most planners get abandoned in March.

Everything above is on the free plan. What Planye+ changes is how much of each you can hold and how much you can decorate it, not which parts of the planner you get.

Yes, as a one-way, read-only integration. Connect a Google or Outlook account and the calendars you pick are drawn onto your week and your day as categories of their own, each meeting in its day and at its hour, beside the things you are planning.

Planye never writes to your calendar. The permission asked for on Google's or Microsoft's own screen is read-only, so nothing here can create, move or delete an event in your calendar. More than one account can be connected at once, work and personal, and two calendars that are really one thing can be merged into a single category.

Reading a connected calendar is part of Planye+. Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar are both available. Apple calendars are not connected yet, though anything that can publish into a Google calendar arrives that way.

Only if you ask it to. There is one email, a look back at the week just gone sent on Monday morning, and it is off until you turn it on in Your account. Signing up puts you on no list.

It is free on every plan, it arrives once a week and never more, and the switch that turns it on turns it off again. So does the unsubscribe link at the foot of any one of them, which never expires.

Somebody who wants one app for the whole of their life: the plan, the habits, the mood, the money and the journal on the same page, rather than five apps that never meet. Usually somebody who has bought a paper planner before and stopped using it in March, and who does not want an app keeping score of that.

It suits people planning a life rather than a sprint, starting on whatever day they open it and keeping only the pages they want: a week with work, a budget, a habit or two, a cycle, a shelf of books and a page to write on at night. If you need shared boards, assignees and deadlines for a team, Planye is not that and doesn't try to be.

Yes. The planner on your device is the real one. Every read and every write happens there first. A connection is only needed to sync with your other devices, and it catches up automatically once you are back online.

That's the point of signing in. Everything you write on one device shows up on the other; what differs is what each is good at. See the styling and journaling guides for what carries over, and Getting started for the rest.

Nothing happens. A missed day draws quieter than a kept one, never louder, and a broken habit chain shows as a gap rather than a red mark. There is nothing here to reset and nothing keeping score against you.

One day tells you about that day. A month of them laid out together tends to tell you something you couldn't see one at a time.

Not yet. Today a planner belongs to one account on however many of your own devices you sign into. Shared, real-time editing isn't built.
