Planist - Planner & Check List1.1.8 - App Store

## We're not good at time, but stronger at Done

We're not good at managing time, maybe it's a fact. The more we strive to manage time, the more time we end up wasting on managing time itself.

Interestingly, even though we are not good at managing time, we are good at completing many tasks and make theme done well.

Perhaps it's time to reconsider and try a different approach. Perhaps letting go of time management will allow us to be friend with time and achieve something even more remarkable?
## "Another" Todo App?

When it comes to Todo Apps, everyone has a general imagination, but these traditional apps simply cannot meet our daily needs.

Take ourselves as independent developers, for example. We get overwhelmed by endless small tasks, and gradually discover some tricks. In short, we remove the factor of “time” from Todo because we simply don’t have time to manage time. Yes, "no time"!

Our approach is simple yet efficient enough to handle the complexities of daily tasks while fostering creativity. We believe we are not alone in this. And thus, by turning ourselves into a method, Planist was born.
# Do you also need Planist?
Whether it’s a todo list or a plan, there are essentially two states: deep focus or quick recording.
Planist is primarily a text editor composed of individual text cells. Even writing a checklist with 100 items, maybe it's no need to lift your fingers off the keyboard. This eliminates the distraction of constant tapping, typing, tapping, and dragging that traditional to-do apps often bring.

But Planist is not like a regular text editor either. Each text line of record can be swiped to delete, archive, switch to-do status, or drag to change the orders.
In addition to being sufficiently concise, it also needs to have a visually appealing design. A visually appealing App can indeed enhance our mood and create a more enjoyable experience. If we spend a significant amount of time using one App, its aesthetics become crucial as they contribute to overall our satisfaction.

Whether it’s on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, Planist is easily accessible. For example, you can plan and create checklists on your iPad or Mac, and then mark tasks as done on your iPhone anytime, anywhere.

The data is synced across different devices, but it remains fully under the control of the user. There is no need to pay expensive server related yearly fees. In order to achieve this, Planist utilizes iCloudKit + iCloud Drive for syncing by default, and also supports sync by Git. All the data belongs to you!
## Planning, Achieving, and Growing

Planist is a minimalist and flexible system that can handle tasks and facilitate effective planning. It even includes commonly used strategic thinking methodologies as default plan templates.

We believe that taking the time to plan for the long term, and effectively completing and cleaning daily tasks, will inevitably lead to achievements and personal growth.

Please note that we have implemented workaround logic within the app to avoid this system-level bug. Currently, once this system bug occurs, aside from restarting the device, there may be no other way to restore the functionality of iCloud Drive (fortunately, CloudKit is not affected by this system bug and can still sync).
