See your day on a visual timeline.
Elegant Planner lays your tasks out in time, not an endless list — so you can time-block your day around real commitments and actually finish it.
Plan in time, not in a list
A flat to-do list tells you what to do but not when. A visual timeline shows your tasks against the hours of the day, so an overloaded afternoon is obvious before it happens — and you can move work to where the time actually is.
How the timeline works
Give a task a duration and place it on the timeline. Your selected calendar events appear beside it through the read-only overlay, so you plan around meetings without leaving the app. Start a focus session straight from a task, and review the day when it is done. Assisted scheduling and day repair are planned as optional Pro tools.
| Timeline vs list | Elegant Planner | A typical list app |
|---|---|---|
| See tasks against the hours | Yes | No — a flat list |
| Time-block your day | Yes | Manual or none |
| Calendar events beside tasks | Read-only overlay | Often separate |
| Start a focus session from a task | Yes | Rare |
| Private and local-first | Yes | Often cloud-based |
Comparison is to list-based planners in general, not any specific product.
Built for focus
Seeing the day in time makes it easier to protect it. Move from planning into a focus session on a single task, then check the day summary to see how your plan held up — all private and on your device.
Visual timeline planner FAQ
What is a visual timeline planner?
A visual timeline planner lays your tasks out along the hours of the day instead of in a flat checklist, so you can see when things happen and time-block your day.
How is it different from a to-do list?
A to-do list tells you what to do; a timeline shows when. Elegant Planner places tasks in time, next to your calendar, so your plan reflects the hours you actually have.
Does it show my calendar?
Yes — an optional, read-only overlay shows selected calendar events beside your tasks. Events are never modified or uploaded.
Can I time-block my day?
Yes. Give tasks a duration and place them on the timeline to block focused time around your real commitments.
Is it free and private?
The visual timeline is part of the free planner, and your tasks stay on your device by default.
