Finalist 3 Beta

Or "what if your to-do list didn’t hate you back?"

Finalist 3 is the years-long quest at making a kinder, gentler planner. Something closer to the paper planners of yore, but with all the cool things our phones do for us today (weather updates! syncing! shared calendars! notifications!).

After hundreds of conversations with people using Finalist, the latest beta brings it all together while retaining the original idea: your daily planner should be super quick and simple to use, but grow as your needs grow. Here's a quick recap of where we're at:

🕚 Day Planner to Love
• Add tasks to any day with a single tap
• See tasks, reminders, calendar events, and habits all in one timeline
• Hour-by-hour weather for each timed item
• Full calendar grid with swipeable day views

📝 Capture Everything
• Quickly jot down notes in the built-in journal
• Schedule journal entries as tasks or add to lists
• Add links and text from other apps via share sheet
• Bring Your iOS Reminders

🏃‍♀️ Stay On Track
• Flexible habits with powerful repeat patterns

• Track current streaks and your all-time best

📆 Effortless Planning
• Smart “catch-up” mode helps you move unfinished tasks from yesterday to today
• Evening prompts lets you prep for tomorrow
• Timed tasks sync to your iOS Calendar
