Time blocking that moves with your day.

Turn tasks and calendar events into a realistic visual schedule. When plans change, adjust the blocks and keep going.

Why plans fall apart

A to-do list can’t show what fits in a real day.

A task list hides the clock.

Ten tasks can look reasonable until you place them inside the hours you have.

Perfect schedules are too brittle.

One late meeting can turn a neat plan into a backlog you have to rebuild.

Meetings and tasks live apart.

Your calendar knows your commitments. Your list knows your work. Neither shows the whole day.

Replanning steals focus.

Every change sends you back to the drawing board instead of into the next useful block.

A plan that stays useful

Your day changed. Your plan can too.

Resize one block and keep the rest of the day workable.

Align’s visual timeline keeps tasks, free time, and calendar events in one schedule. With Overlap Avoidance in Align Plus, later blocks can move out of the way while keeping their duration.

Realistic daily planning

A daily planner should help you recover, not restart.

See what fits

Free-time gaps and overlaps stay visible on the timeline.

Protect the important blocks

Place focused work around meetings and the fixed parts of your day.

Change the plan, not the goal

Move what slipped and continue from the schedule you already made.

The app, not a mockup

One visual schedule for tasks, calendars, and routines.

Set routines once

Repeat a time block daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, then adjust a single day when real life needs something different.

Visual daily planner FAQ

Questions about planning a day in time blocks.

What is a visual daily planner?

A visual daily planner places tasks and calendar events on a timeline, so you can see what fits before the day begins. Align uses color-coded time blocks to show work, routines, meetings, free time, and overlaps in one schedule.

Is Align a calendar planner or a to-do list?

Align combines both ideas. It brings events from your iPhone calendars into the same visual schedule as your time blocks, so you can decide when tasks happen instead of keeping a separate list.

What happens when my schedule changes?

You can drag or resize a time block as plans change. With Overlap Avoidance in Align Plus, later blocks can shift out of the way while keeping their original duration, helping the rest of the day stay realistic.

Can a visual planner help with ADHD time management?

People who prefer visual structure may find it easier to estimate time and switch tasks when the day is shown as concrete blocks. Align is a planning tool, not a medical treatment, and its main benefit is making time visible without adding a complicated workflow.

Is Align free?

Align is free to download on iPhone. Core features include unlimited time blocks, a visual timeline, calendar sync, recurring blocks, reminders, colors, icons, and drag-and-drop planning. Optional Align Plus features are available as in-app purchases.
