Ćao 👋

My name is Slaven and Finalist is my passion project. It's a day planner I always wanted on my phone (and iPad, and Mac). It can help you be more intentional with your time.

Finalist's ideas are rooted in paper (I'm a huge paper nerd). The app started out as an index card system, and became a love letter to paper planners. You know the kind, leather folders with colored tabs and translucent dividers.

Unlike those old binders, Finalist fills itself with your calendars, reminders, Activity Rings, journal suggestions and weather forecast. Minimalist? Maybe not, but it's become a UI playground designed to inspire, and looks great on iPad and Mac too.

Think of it as three views into your time: Daily shows everything happening today, calendar, reminders, weather, habits, goals, all in one glance. It helps you triage tasks you missed yesterday, or punt stuff to tomorrow with a single tap.

Planner lets you zoom out to your week, month, or (just released) your whole year. Use the Intention Brush to paint meaning onto days ahead, those colors follow you throughout the app.

And Journal captures where you've been, with Activity Rings, photo stickers from Journal Suggestions, and room to reflect when needed.

Each part of the app is optional, use whatever feels right for you. But they all work together to help you stay focused, inspired and organized. Finalist was App of the Day on the App Store last month, Apple's take:

Making the most of our time by having everything all in one place.

Finalist is not my vision alone. It's a community-driven effort, with many passionate users expanding on what it can do. And if you have a friend or a family member who would enjoy it, please send them here.

So give it a try, I can't wait to hear what you think 😅
