Pocket Planner
The planner app that feels like entering your own universe.
You build it during onboarding. You launch it when it's yours. A real planning system for ADHD brains, already shaped around your tasks, habits, goals, schedule, and notes.
For the person who already tried everything.
You tried Notion because you wanted one place for everything. You tried GoodNotes because you wanted something softer and more personal. You tried Notes, Reminders, Craft, and every other app that promised to help you stay on top of your life.
You wanted your tasks, habits, priorities, schedule, and thoughts to live together somewhere that actually made sense.
But every option asked you to compromise.
Most ADHD apps slap the label on and call it a day.
This one was designed by someone who lives it. Every feature exists because the alternative didn't work for a brain like yours.
Not just a pretty interface over generic task lists.
Pocket Planner is a built planning methodology turned into an app. You set up lists, projects, goals, habits, routines, widgets, and page behavior during onboarding, then launch into a planner already populated with your structure.
The app feels like a place, not just a tool. The pretty thing open on your iPad while you work. Your digital sidekick that stays nearby all day.
When something feels good to keep near you, you keep using it.
The hard part is done for you.
Most people don't need more options. They need the structure handed to them in a way that already works.
You're not opening a blank page and trying to invent the perfect system from scratch.
You're not turning Notion into a second full-time project.
You're not stitching together six different apps and pretending that counts as one setup.
Enough structure to hold everything together. Enough flexibility to still feel personal. Enough beauty to make you want it open beside you.
Build your world. Then launch your planner.
You're not just filling out setup screens. You're building your universe.
Choose your lists
Name your to-do lists, work sections, and personal categories.
Pick your habits
Select from suggestions or add your own.
Set your goals
Up to 5 goals with milestones you define.
Shape your widgets
Choose what shows on each dashboard.
Launch your planner
Land inside a space that already feels like yours. Your lists, your habits, your widgets, your dashboards. Ready.
Most apps make setup feel like paperwork. Pocket Planner makes setup feel like creation.
The structure is built in. The surface is yours to shape.
You already choose your lists, widgets, sidebar, Day Card, and stats during setup. Now the atmosphere of the app is yours to shape too.
Upload your own dashboard banners, even GIFs. Give each dashboard its own background. Pick from five gradient backgrounds for database pages and switch between four icon color packs.
Because the planner you actually keep open should look like it belongs to you.
The best part is seeing your world come to life.
You name a list once. It becomes a 3D widget header, a button, and a live widget in your dashboard — all from that one name.
Most planning tools force a tradeoff. Pocket Planner doesn't.
They are either flexible but shapeless, or structured but rigid. Pocket Planner sits in the middle.
Notion
- Very flexible
- Can be beautiful, but only with heavy setup
- Blank page problem
- Views can feel fragile
- User has to design the system
GoodNotes + digital planners
- Visually satisfying
- Strong notebook feel
- Often static once purchased
- Limited real system behavior
- Customization is visual, not structural
Normal planner apps
- Often structured
- Limited personality
- Minimal customization
- Rigid modules and layouts
- Little emotional payoff
Pocket Planner
- Structured from the start
- Visually rich and world-like
- Users customize widgets, sidebar, Day Card, and stats
- Onboarding creates the planner before launch
- Built for ADHD, re-entry, and real life
Built for re-entry, not streak shame.
Skip a week, skip a month. Open it back up and it meets you where you are. No overdue guilt. No red warnings. The system that survives a hard week is the system that actually works.
One universe. Four ways to move through it.
Your mission control.
Open it and know exactly where you are. Quick Capture, habits, schedule, and your Day Card all on one surface.
Everything work, one view.
Your sidebar, projects, work habits, and every active list sit side by side. No tab chaos. No context switching.
The rest of your life.
Goals, routines, mood, habits, and personal planning all have room without losing clarity.
Your week with room to think.
Schedule, important tasks, mood, journal, and notes stay visible together. Structure with room for real life.
Stop hunting for the number you need.
Your smart sidebar lives on your Work Hub and Daily Dashboard. We call it Starboard. You set it up once. It's just there every time you open the app.
The system works. Here's proof.
Pocket Planner started as a Notion template. Here's what people said about the system before it became an app.
"You can just FEEL how passionate she is about it. I couldn't have asked for a better template for my diagnosed ADHD!!"
Hailey"The whole thing was made for neurodivergent people, unlike some others where they just put 'adhd' in the title to sell a product. This planner is so colorful and engaging."
Carlina"As someone who is in Grad School but also working towards personal life goals, this planner hit all the marks for me."
