Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 59 of the 69 other daily planner apps we grade
Brite is a personal planner that puts task lists, a calendar, a habit tracker, goals, notes and a mood diary in one app. Each tool is a widget that can be added to the daily schedule, alongside extras such as a Pomodoro timer and a budget tracker. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and the web; the free plan caps habits, goals and projects, and Premium removes the caps and adds calendar sync.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Brite, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Each tool is a widget you add to your day, so you can start with a task list and bolt on habits or mood later.

The report card
Best for tasks, habits, goals and mood in one planner
Brite is an all-in-one planner: tasks, calendar, habits, goals, notes, a mood diary and a Pomodoro timer, each one a widget you add to your day, on phone, desktop and web. Premium is $3.29 a month on yearly billing. The free plan pinches: 3 habits, 3 goals, 3 task reminders and no calendar sync. The trial is 3 days, and the App Store prices differ from the website.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is $3.29 a month billed annually, $4.50 monthly. Planners here sit at $5.99 in the middle and the cheaper quarter starts at $3.99, so Brite sits inside it. Mind where you buy: the US App Store lists $39.99 a year, plus a separate $39.99 AI Features purchase. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free for good, but you meet the caps quickly: 3 habits, 3 goals, 5 projects, 3 task reminders, and only the schedule and day views. Mood entries and guided meditations are 1 a week, and calendar sync isn't in it. The Premium trial is 3 days. |
| Features | B | It covers the whole job: tasks with subtasks and tags, projects with a kanban view, a calendar, habits with 80-odd presets and streaks, goals, a mood diary with statistics and a Pomodoro timer. Type "call tomorrow at 5pm" and it lands on the calendar. Nothing its rivals don't also do, mind. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.57 from about 3,700 App Store ratings. Each tool is a widget you add to your day, so you can start with a task list and bolt on habits or mood later. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and the web, which is the full set, and it connects to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Google Meet, Zoom, Apple Reminders and Siri. The calendar syncing is Premium, mind. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Brite is for
- Fits if you want tasks, calendar, habits and notes in one app, not five
- Works for people who move between a phone, a desktop app and the web
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, with 3 habits, 3 goals, 5 projects, 3 task reminders and day views only
- Skip it if you want your Google or Apple calendar synced without paying, as that's Premium
- Not for you if you want to give Premium a proper go first, since the free trial is 3 days
- Watch out: the App Store lists $5.99 a month and $39.99 a year, plus a separate $39.99 AI Features purchase
- Watch out: the Teams page quotes $4 a user for teams of 5 or more, a price the pricing page doesn't list

Keep it
The plain part of Brite you could make: tasks, calendar, habit tracking, goals, notes, mood tracking and Pomodoro timer. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 59 of the 69 other daily planner apps we grade. It costs $39.48 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, calendar, habit tracking, goals, notes, mood tracking and Pomodoro timer: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook among them.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Brite’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
