Now
Today as a timeline, the running timer, and only the tasks for this block.
Plan your week in blocks. Get through it one block at a time.
Give each commitment blocks of time in the calendar. Blockwise fills every block with the next tasks, tracks your time with one tap, and shows where your week really went.
A time-blocking planner and time tracker for Mac, Android and Nextcloud
How it works
- 1
Commitments
What you give time to: Thesis, Work, Teaching. Each one gets its own color and its own calendar.
- 2
Blocks
Every event in a commitment's calendar is a block of time for it. Drag to plan them; repeat them every weekday or every week.
- 3
Tasks fill the blocks
Tasks queue up per commitment, with subtasks and estimates like "Draft 45m". Each block takes tasks from the top until it's full; what you don't finish moves to the next block.
- 4
Press play
Track time with one tap, on the Mac from the menu bar too. Forgot to start? Move the start back. Done and Time show your week as it really was.
A calendar made for blocks
Day, week and month. Drag to create, move or resize a block; click one to see the tasks waiting in it. Use the built-in calendar, Apple Calendar or your Nextcloud calendars.
Everything for focused weeks
Weekly goals
Hours per week for each commitment, with progress on the Now page.
Tasks and estimates
An ordered queue per commitment. Check off subtasks in order; it warns you when the tasks need more time than the blocks have.
Notes
Notes per commitment in Markdown, with checklists you can tick.
Pomodoro and reminders
Optional Pomodoro rounds, and a reminder before a block ends.
Done and Time
