SmartPlans

Getting Plans Done

SmartPlans is a flexible project planner and task manager. It’s “Smart” because it manages the time that you allocate to your various projects, while maintaining the balance that you need to get everything done -- from simple tasks to complex projects.

With SmartPlans you can also create simple unstructured “to do” lists, record the time of multiple tasks and calls (great for managing contacts and customer billing), and even track your life balance goals.

Now, SmartPlans 3.0 integrates with our other productivity apps SmartCal and SmartPad, by way of your device Calendar.  Now, for the first time, you can see everything from the forest to the trees.

 

SmartPlans 3.0 will be available for iPhone and iPad on the iTunes App Store in the very near future. In the meantime, you can download SmartPlans 2.0 now, and get started. The upgrade is free!

How it works:

✓Create a project.
✓Fill it with tasks. Add more at any time.
✓Drag and drop to group tasks into Milestones, with alerts and deadlines.
✓Flip your iPhone or iPad sideways to manage multiple projects from the Gantt view.
✓Also in Gantt view, keep track of your work balance in the handy stacked-bar overlay
✓View your Milestones and Tasks directly in your iPhone or iPad’s Calendar app.
✓Now sync Calendar with any of our productivity apps -- SmartCal (iPhone), SmartPad (iPad) and SmartDay (Mac) -- and they will automatically schedule in your other tasks into your current day, taking into consideration your SmartPlans projects and your other appointments.
✓There. Now you have everything from the forest to the trees. Even acorns.
