Inspired by paper planners, Finalist shows your calendar, tasks, reminders and weather forecast in one beautiful timeline. It even pulls in your Journal Suggestions and Activity Rings to keep you inspired. Gorgeous themes make planning a joy, not a chore. Finalist is built for people who finish things, no complex workflows or productivity theater. "I've tried dozens of planning apps, this is the one that finally works." - Beta user "The integration of Reminders and Lists reduces the apps I need daily and makes planning actually fun." - Beta user Built with native Apple technologies: no accounts to create, syncs over iCloud, supports Family Sharing, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro and Mac. Full database backup, export and import via JSON and OPML. Finalist is a love letter to paper planners. Give it a try, it feels great :) Purchasing information To get the full functionality in Finalist you will need to either purchase a subscription or a one time In-App Purchase for Lifetime access.

Native Apple Watch app please!
10/05/2025

I really love this app! Great functionality and design! Only app that made me move from Things 3!! To completely cover Apple devices. We need a native Apple Watch app. For those of us on the move. We can quickly mark off and add tasks without pulling out our phones. That would be so clutch! Other than that, keep up the great work I look forward to seeing more updates! I’m gonna give it four stars that fifth star would be for having an Apple Watch app!

A focused, thoughtful, original take on a task organizer

With most apps in this domain, the top-level items are tasks, and tasks have (optional) due dates. With Finalist, the top-level items are days, and days have tasks and events. This might sound like I’m splitting semantic hairs but it gives Finalist a very different feel, one that’s more natural to me.I’m kind of blown away by how robust and thoughtful Finalist is. It’s not a web app with iOS and Mac clients. It’s a suite of native apps designed with care for Apple’s platforms.

Now my only Daily Planner

This is the best to-do/daily planner app I’ve ever used. I sound hyperbolic, but I speak the truth. It has everything I want in a planner & it’s so intuitive to use. The design is appealing and attractive. I love looking at it and if I’m looking at it, it means my stuff is getting done. I’ve gotten rid of all my other “to-do” apps and now this is the only one I’ll use. I love it.

This is such a beautiful app while also being very functional. There is a bug with the weather that I hope will get fixed. I have to either turn off location services then turn it back on or manually toggle the weather option in the app settings to get it to show. I have to do this every time I reopen the app. I’m using iOS 26 on an iPhone 15 Pro. Other than this small bug, the app is very nice. I find it helps me to be more productive than just using the standard iOS apps from Apple!
