Improved contrast throughoutClearer field placeholders
Plan search, backup passphrases and the optional reminder field now use explicit, readable placeholder colours in Dark Mode.

Useful without nagging
See what is coming up before the app has to interrupt you.
The public release combines low-noise reminders with glanceable system surfaces. Everything remains optional and local to the device.
One meaningful badge
The app icon normally shows 1 only when an unseen actionable reminder is waiting. It does not display the total unfinished task count.
Clears when Today is viewedOne smart daily briefing
Same-day task reminders can be consolidated into one calm briefing. Weekly summaries are silent by default.
No notification serverQuick routes
Use notification actions or app-icon shortcuts to open Today, add a task, view the full Plan or jump to Move Day.
Fewer taps under pressureAutomatic cleanup
Archiving or resetting a plan removes Planner reminders, delivered notifications, badges and any active Move Day Live Activity.

Incomplete generated tasks are recalculated within their safe windows. Completed work remains complete, and the app provides a compact summary of what moved.
