Intend vs Week Plan

Intend

• People who want daily to-dos tied to a few long-term goals
• Those who prefer a fresh list each day to a growing backlog
• Remote workers who want an accountability partner

Week Plan

• People who plan by the week from roles and goals
• Followers of the 7 Habits approach to prioritizing
• Small teams that want shared workspaces with OKRs

Intend

• There is no free plan: after the two-week trial it costs $12 a month, or $120 a year.
• There is no native app. The vendor recommends desktop use; on a phone it runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen.
• Goals are capped at 10 active at a time.
• It is a one-person company, and its founder said in January 2025 that the app is no longer his primary focus, though it will keep running.

Week Plan

• OKRs, calendar sync, recurring tasks, the Eisenhower Matrix, custom boards and team tools are listed only under the paid Ultimate plan.
• There is no offline mode: the FAQ says Week Plan needs an internet connection.
• Apps are listed for Windows, iOS and Android. Mac and Linux users work in the web app.
• The pricing page does not say whether the Ultimate price is per user, and the US App Store lists in-app prices of $9.99 and $103.99.

Intend

Goals come first

Up to 10 goals can be active at once. Each has its own color, one top priority that stays in view while planning the day, and a setting for who can see it.

A new Today page every day

Each day starts with a blank list of intentions, each tagged with the goal it serves. Anything left undone does not carry over to the next day by itself.

Outcomes and not-dones

At the end of the day you record what was done toward each goal and whether it was enough. Undone items from the last 3 days can be picked up again by choice.

Pomodoro and hourglass timers

The Pomodoro timer has custom work and break lengths, and finished blocks are assigned to intentions. The hourglass timer can be paused or adjusted midway.

Reviews

Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly reviews are split into a section for each goal and come with preset questions that can be replaced with your own.

Accountability partners and coworking

Linked accounts see each other's intentions and get daily email updates. Coworking rooms share a synchronized Pomodoro clock and chat, and need no Intend account.

Week Plan

Vision and roles

Planning starts with a long-term vision or mission statement and a set of roles, so tasks can be created for or assigned to each role.

Goals and OKRs

Objectives and key results are defined in the app and tasks are linked to them, so the week's work can be checked against longer-term goals. Ultimate only.

High Impact Tasks

The tasks that contribute most to a goal are marked as High Impact Tasks (HITs) and highlighted in the weekly plan. Included in the free Lite plan.

Eisenhower Matrix

A quadrant view sorts tasks by urgency and importance into do now, plan later, delegate or skip. Listed under the Ultimate plan.

Calendar view and time blocking

Tasks are dragged into a calendar view to block time, and Ultimate syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook so events appear in the same place.

Pomodoro timer and time tracking

A built-in Pomodoro timer runs 25-minute work cycles with 5-minute breaks and tracks the time automatically. The FAQ lists it among the Ultimate plan's features.
