plan7

Your system, running where you work.

You already have your weekly plan. The desktop app makes you live it — a menu-bar timer for the block you're in, Pomodoro sprints for the long ones, one-keystroke notes to catch a stray thought, quick reminders on the fly, and native nudges at every hand-off.

One-time · was $39 · requires an active plan7

Always one glance away.

plan7 sits in your menu bar on Mac (and the system tray on Windows) and counts down the block you're in. No window to hunt for, no tab to keep open — the next move is always in the corner of your screen.

Break the big blocks into intervals.

Start a Pomodoro on any long block: focused sprints with short breaks, cycles counted for you, and a nudge when it's time to switch. The block's real countdown keeps running underneath.

Shrink it to a floating timer.

One click collapses plan7 into a small always-on-top bar with the live timer and your current task — enough to stay on track, small enough to forget it's there.

Catch the idea before it derails you.

Deep in one thing when a thought about something else hits? Press ⌘⇧Space from any app, type it, hit Enter — it's saved and you're back in under five seconds. The note lands in an inbox tagged with the block you were in, so you know exactly where it came from. Process it later, or turn any note into a reminder in one click. Your timer never even pauses.

Reminders, without leaving your flow.

Something pops into your head mid-block? Drop a quick reminder — 5, 10, 30 minutes or an hour — and plan7 pings you when it's due. It survives restarts and sleep, so nothing slips.

A nudge at every hand-off.

When a block begins, a real system notification tells you what's next — and a calm wind-down cue at night. No nagging, no streak guilt. Just the right thing at the right time.

Edit your week on the web and the desktop updates in real time. Check off a block on your Mac and it's saved to your account. Same plan, everywhere — the desktop app reads the exact plan you already trust.

Not our idea

Getting the thought out of your head is how focused people have worked for decades.

The unfinished thought you're holding onto is quietly taxing the focus you need right now. The fix everyone who studies this agrees on: write it down, trust it's safe, and get back to work.

Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.

Getting Things Done

The act of saving should be quick and judgment-free — capture what resonates and get back to work.

We need a reliable, simple external structure to think in — one that compensates for the limitations of our brains.
