The Planner screen: a strip of the week with Thursday picked, a card reading one of four done with three left and two hours five minutes to go, then the tasks with their estimates and priority marks, and what is already done underneath.
Priority shows as a colour and a mark, not a number you have to decode.

What you get

Today, laid out

Tasks with the time you think they will take, and your calendar events beside them, so an ambitious morning looks ambitious before you start it.

Projects on a board

Bigger efforts split into steps, on columns you name yourself. Drag a card across and it shows you where it will land before you let go.

Routines you run in order

Morning or evening, ticking as you go, with the streak counted from the runs you finished.

Countdowns

For the things with a date attached. They show how far through you are as well as how long is left, which turns out to be the motivating half.

Every module, one at a time

Asked about Planning

What does Planning cover in Cadence?

The day hour by hour, and the bigger things broken into steps. It draws on the Planner, Todo Lists, Projects, Routines, Countdowns, Events modules, each of which has a page of its own.

Is Planning on the iPhone as well as the Mac?

Yes. Cadence is one app on both, laid out again for a screen you hold in one hand, and iCloud sync for $14.99, paid once, keeps the two holding the same data.

Does it need an account?

No. There is no account, no server and no sign-up. Everything is kept on the device you typed it into, and exports to one JSON file from Settings whenever you like.
