one day with lazy planner

A whole day, planned lightly.

A day with clients, your own work and a life. Scroll from 7 in the morning to 10 at night. Each hour shows one thing Lazy Planner quietly does for you.

  1. 7:00 AM

    Wake up to a plan.

    Before you open anything, your tasks are already fitted around your meetings. One tap accepts it.

    at 9:00 AM

    The Acme proposal first while it is quiet. Client call at 10, then invoices and email in the gap before lunch.

The research

Built on how attention really works.

Working for yourself, you are the maker, the manager, the support desk and the accountant. The core of Lazy Planner is backed by published studies on planning and attention. Here is what each one found, and what the app does with it.

  1. Say it all, then let it go.

    In the app Say everything on your mind, from the client call to the dentist. Each thing gets a day, and a time when it fits, so your head can stop holding it.

    What the study found Unfinished goals kept coming back as stray thoughts and hurt work on other tasks. Making a specific plan for them stopped that, even before the goal was done.

  2. Every task gets a when.

    In the app The morning plan puts each task at a time in your day, not on an endless list.

    What the study found Across 94 tests, deciding when and where you will act made people clearly more likely to follow through, a medium to large effect.

  3. Three things, not thirty.

    In the app Now shows at most three tasks. The rest waits below until you need it.

    What the study found Across many experiments, people hold only about three to five things in mind at once.

  4. One thing at a time.

    In the app Today leads with the next thing to do. When the planner asks a question, it asks one and hides the rest.

    What the study found Switching away from an unfinished task leaves part of your attention behind, and the next task suffers. In a study of software developers, a day felt productive when they finished work without many switches.

  5. It asks only when it matters.

    In the app The morning plan appears only when it brings something new for your day. If your day is already set, it stays quiet.

    What the study found Interrupted people finished their work just as well, but only by rushing, and they felt more stress, frustration and time pressure.

  6. Times that match your real pace.

    In the app The planner compares planned and real time on the tasks you finish, and leaves that much room in your day.

    What the study found People underestimate how long their own tasks take. The bias went away when they tied their guess to how long similar tasks took before.

  7. Close the day, then rest.

    In the app The evening close moves what is left to tomorrow in one tap, so the evening is yours.

    What the study found Unfinished work goals kept people's minds on work after hours. Making a plan to finish them helped those who find it hard to switch off.

    • Smit, 2016 Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology
  8. Your hands stay on the keys.

    In the app Every action has a key. After you click, the app shows the key that does the same thing.

    What the study found Keyboard shortcuts were the fastest way to run commands, yet most experienced users rarely used them and clicked toolbars instead. Changing the feedback a menu gives each time it is used made people learn the shortcuts much faster.

These studies back the design. They did not test Lazy Planner itself. Each link goes to the publisher, where some papers need a subscription to read in full.

FAQ

Before you sign up.

Something else on your mind? Ask the developer directly.

Why pay when free planners exist?

You pay for the planning itself. Say your day in plain words and Lazy Planner builds the plan around your meetings and free time, then helps with a morning plan and an evening close. The price covers the servers and the AI that do that.

What happens when the free trial ends?

You get 21 days with every feature, and you don't need a card to start. Nothing is charged unless you choose a plan. When the trial ends, the planner locks until you pick one ($10 a month or $100 a year). Your data stays, and you can still export it. Pick a plan early and you keep the rest of your free days.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. Ask within 14 days of your first payment and it is refunded in full. Write from the support page with the email address on your account. Later renewals are not refunded, and cancelling stops the next one.

How do I cancel?

Choose Manage billing in Settings and cancel in the Dodo Payments portal. You keep the planner until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting your account cancels your plan too.

Does the AI see my tasks?

Yes, it has to read them to plan. The text goes to language models on DigitalOcean's AI service, and voice runs through ElevenLabs. Before anything leaves our server, email addresses, phone numbers with a + country code, card numbers and IBANs become placeholders, and the real values go back into what returns. Names stay as you wrote them. We don't use your data to train AI models.

Will it work with the tools I already use?

Tasks come in from Asana, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Notion, Todoist, Trello and Outlook Mail, and each tool stays the source of truth for its own items. Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar sync both ways, so the plan goes around your meetings.

Do I have to talk to it?

No. You can type instead, or drag cards between Brain Dump and your days. When you do talk, every change it makes comes with Undo.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in the browser, with nothing to install. Phones get a notebook view where you swipe a task to move it, and tablets get the full board.

What if Lazy Planner shuts down?

Your data goes with you. Export your tasks, subtasks and goals as one JSON file any time, even after a trial or plan ends.

Can Claude Code or Codex plan with me?

Yes. Settings has the install command for the Lazy Planner MCP server, so your coding agent can read your plan and add or change tasks. You can also hand a task to a cloud agent and follow its steps from the task.
