Planzu
Catch what life throws at you
$9.99
Capture what life throws at you. Organize by context. Review with intention. No tracking, no subscription—just a tool that respects your autonomy.
You told someone you'd handle it. You meant it. Then life moved on.
Planzu is a capture tool for people who've never been great planners but are tired of dropping balls. Not a system you have to study. Just a place to put things so your brain can let go.
Capture anything — a request from your partner, a task from your boss, an idea from a podcast — and sort it by context: @home, @work, @errands. When you're at the hardware store, your list is there. When you're in a 1:1, your notes are ready.
When you're ready for a weekly review, a rotating philosophical prompt gives you a way in. 159 voices, randomly chosen. Sometimes the unexpected perspective is exactly what you need.
What makes Planzu different:
No subscription. $19.99. You own it.
No tracking. Your data lives on your device and syncs privately via iCloud.
No gamification. No streaks, no badges, no manipulation.
No account required. Open it. Use it.
Universal purchase — one price, iPhone and Mac.
Built by one person who learned Swift from scratch to solve their own problem. If you've never had a system that actually stuck, this was made for you.
more Refinements to the Weekly Review experience:
- Cleaned up the reflections corpus: removed duplicates, polished attributions throughout
- Visual polish to the Review screen layout
1.3.8 Apr 13
Small but meaningful improvements to how you add and organize items:
Tapping a context or goal card now sets it as the default for your next new item
The selected goal now stays selected after you save an item
Fixed a stray "@" appearing in the goal name field
Polished the new context and goal input fields for a more consistent feel
1.3.7 Apr 10
Weekly Review Refined
We've rebuilt the review experience with carefully curated prompts that rotate each week. Clearer thinking, less noise. Same structure, capture, clarify, organize, reflect.
1.3.6 Apr 8
What's New
Squashed a bug that could send new users back to the beginning of onboarding. A few visual polish fixes across Ticklers, Someday, and the Weekly Review screen.
1.3.5 Apr 3
Version 1.3.4 adds a 14-day free trial with in-app purchase ($19.99 one-time unlock). Trial status is tracked locally; users see a paywall after 14 days of first launch. No changes to core functionality.
What is Planzu?
Planzu is a capture tool for people who've never been great planners but are tired of dropping balls.
You told someone you'd handle it. You meant it. Then life moved on.
Planzu helps you catch what you'd otherwise forget—tasks from your partner, requests from your boss, ideas from podcasts—and organizes them by context so you can act when the moment's right.
No gamification. No streaks. No behavioral tracking. Just a tool that respects your autonomy.
Key Features:
- Contexts organize by situation (@home, @work, @errands), not urgency
- Goals group work by what you're building toward
- Ticklers remind you at the right moment, not constantly
- Someday holds ideas that aren't ready yet
- Weekly Review helps you step back and think
Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase, no subscription, no separate "desktop upgrade." Your data syncs via iCloud and stays yours—no servers, no tracking, no third parties.
Planzu respects the Getting Things Done methodology while staying simpler than traditional GTD apps. If you've read the book, this is a practice ground. If you haven't, the app still makes sense.
$19.99 one-time purchase. No upsells. No premium tiers. You own it.
First-time users see exactly what Planzu looks like before they create their first task.
1.3.4 Apr 1
Redesigned onboarding
The tutorial now uses annotated screenshots of the actual app instead of concept art. We reduced it from 6 slides to 4, focusing on the essentials: capture, contexts, assignment, and getting started.

1.3.3 Mar 31
Version 1.3.2 brings refinements based on early user feedback:
Star/Hoist Feature
Quickly mark important items with a star. Starred items rise to the top of your context and goal views, making it easy to focus on what matters most right now. Tap the star icon when editing an item, and it'll stay visible until you're done with it.
Improved Stability
Fixed several edge cases in data sync and UI rendering. The app now handles large item counts more gracefully, and iCloud sync is more reliable when switching between devices.
Polish
Refined spacing and layout throughout the app. Small improvements that make daily use smoother.
