Finalist: Daily Planner

More iPhone Duo powerups: more layouts for more poses, no matter how you use the device. IPHONE DUO - The Planner remembers a layout per pose: closed or open, upright or sideways. Fold, unfold or rotate. PLANNER - New Yearly style, Months and Day: the months run along the top, and the day you tap opens below with its Timeline next to untimed tasks and all-day items. - iPhone and iPad keep a layout per orientation too. Defaults are Weekly Timeline on an upright iPhone, Weekly 2 pages sideways, and Months and Day on iPad. ADD TASKS ON THE TIMELINE - Touch and hold an empty hour to place a new task there, on the Weekly Timeline, the Timeline beside the Agenda and the Desk Clock's mini Timeline. - Or, use mouse or Pencil to draw task/event blocks. FIXES - iPad: improvements to Pencil handling. - Fixes to light and dark themes. - Lots of tweaks and performance improvements.

Finalist 4.2 grew out of a month of designing for iPhone Duo, and it makes every iPhone, iPad and Mac better too. iPhone now turns to landscape, Daily gets a Desk Clock, Lens replaces the Assistant button, and Day Review helps you decide what each day holds. Plus a new theme that follows the sun. WORKSPACES AND DESK CLOCK - Each screen setup (iPhone and iPad orientations, Mac, each iPhone Duo pose) keeps its own Daily layout. - Desk Clock shows what's on now and the time left in it, or the countdown to what's next. - Turn iPhone sideways for the Desk Clock and Timeline beside your Agenda. FOLLOW THE DAY - A new landscape theme that tracks your real sunrise, sunset and moon phase. Select a World Clock city and it follows that city instead. - Paper grain textures for Daily, and a new app icon (the old one is still in Settings). LENS - The Assistant button is now Lens: which calendars are on today and how busy each one is, in Daily and the Planner. - Toggle calendars and tags, plus Solo, Tasks and Habits modes. Hold a calendar to see what's next. - The Planner follows Lens, so the separate Planner Filter is retired. DAY REVIEW - Overdue, undated and set-aside tasks in one place. Swipe right to take one on today, left to send it to Someday. - Choose from Outstanding, Undated, Someday, Markdown Tasks and Lists, with optional Apple Intelligence priorities. - The evening notification opens Review Tomorrow. DAILY AND TIMELINE - The Timeline is now part of Daily. Flip to it by tapping the day's title, or Cmd+2 on Mac. - Drag tasks between the Timeline and Agenda, with Undo. - The day pill now browses days on Mac, iPad and iOS 18 too, and drives the Planner's weeks and months. - Penciled times sync between devices. Hold the hour rail for a New Task at that time. - Snooze is now "Later today", with better times to pick. - Hide past events, and show event end as a duration ("1hr") or time ("until 10p"). - Swipe left on any task to select it. - Forecast on future days, and the now-ribbon on Broadsheet. PLANNER - Weekly Timeline: one week per page, hours on top, tasks below. Drag up to give a task time, or across to move it. - Continuous Yearly: weeks run together with month names down the margin. NOTIFICATIONS - Complete and Remind buttons on task and habit notifications. - Remind until done (Settings > Notifications) nudges you until you check it off. TASKS, REMINDERS AND HABITS - Compact New Task row (Layout > New Task options). - Drag and drop across Daily, Broadsheet and subtasks. Select several tasks and Group as Subtasks. - Reschedule to any day, with a summary of what's already there. - Reminders keep their alarm when moved. Repeating reminders: Duplicate As copies just the occurrence. - Drag a reminder into Morning, Afternoon or Evening to give it a time. - Weekly habits can target a number of days, monthly ones repeat every N months, and durations are editable. ALSO IN 4.2 - The Countdown Live Activity counts to the end of whatever is running. - Six handwriting fonts in Settings > Journal. - Subtasks, Later / Someday and Blocked-by in your markdown tasks. - Apple Watch: add today's note from your wrist. - Faster saving and sync, and lots of fixes.
