About PlanSync

PlanSync is a task and timer app designed around the idea that time you cannot see does not feel real. You capture a task in one keystroke or from a widget, give it a day and an optional deadline, and run several countdown timers at once. Timers appear on the lock screen, in the Dynamic Island and in a floating widget on browser pages, and a full-screen loud alarm rings over the lock screen when time is up.

Other features include a focus mode with seven clock faces, five home and lock screen widgets, a list view and a kanban board that can cap work in progress, stats on focus time and finished tasks, and a Chrome extension with hotkey capture and timer presets. Everything works offline.

The app is free on every device, with Pro at $3.99 per month adding cross-device sync and unlimited simultaneous timers and lock screen countdowns, where free allows five timers and three countdowns. Apps are available from the App Store and the Chrome Web Store, with Android planned next.
