Metronome: Daily Planner Timer

Metronome is a daily planner that helps you unlock deep focus and recover it quickly when your day gets interrupted.

Add your tasks, set a time for each one, and Metronome guides you through them one at a time. When plans change, pause, go back, skip ahead or reorder what's next, and your times adjust on the spot. Starting an assignment late or a surprise meeting won't throw off the rest of your day.

WHY IT WORKS
- You stay present. Every task gets its own timer, so you focus on what's in front of you instead of multitasking.
- You plan less and do more. Save the tasks you repeat as routines and spend your time getting work done.
- You can put the work down and pick it back up, knowing it will still get done on time.
- Getting started is easier. A short countdown eases you into your next task and keeps your momentum.

A TIMER FOR EVERY TASK
- Give each task a preset or custom time, so you know exactly how long you're committing to it.
- If a task runs long, the timer counts up in red so you can see how far over you went.
- Break bigger tasks into smaller steps and check them off right under the timer, so a big assignment feels manageable.

BUILD HABITS WITH ROUTINES
- Turn your morning routine, study session or workout into a routine you can reuse.
- Add a routine to your day with one tap instead of rebuilding your list.

TAKE A BREATHER WHEN YOU NEED IT
- A short countdown between tasks gives you a quick break to reset.
- Press and hold play to start a countdown anytime: pick a preset, a custom time or a set start time.

A PLANNER FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE
- Keep separate planners for school, work, the gym and side projects.
- The Sandbox shows your planners on one screen, so you can decide what matters most today.
- With Quick Add, type something like "essay 45m due Friday !1 #school next" and Metronome fills in the details for you.

STAY ON TRACK FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN
- See your current task and the time left on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

SEE HOW YOUR DAYS ADD UP
- Track your focus time, completed tasks and streaks, with cheat days for when life gets busy.
- Set your wake-up time and bedtime to see how much of your day was focused and how much was idle.
