Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 35 of the 69 other daily planner apps we grade
Doobies is a daily planner built around a plan, do and reflect loop. A day is laid out on an hour-by-hour timeline, activities are logged with timers as they happen, and an end-of-day review compares the plan with what took place. It also tracks habits and goals and includes an AI assistant that proposes tasks for approval. The product is in early access, which is joined through a waitlist.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Doobies, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You sign in with Google or Apple, connect Google Calendar and build out templates before the plan-and-review loop is doing anything for you.
- 1
Best for comparing your plan with what really happened
Doobies plans your day on a timeline, has you log what you really did with timers, then sets the two side by side at night, with habits, goals and an AI assistant.
- 2
It is free
Doobies has no paid plan at all. The full product is free during early access, which is joined through a waitlist. The vendor's blog says pricing will come later and no prices have been published.
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 4
Timeline day planning
An hour-by-hour timeline shows what is planned and what is open. Tasks carry priorities, time estimates and notes, and can repeat daily, weekly or on custom schedules.
- 5
Activity logging with timers
Activities are logged as they happen with start and stop timers and tagged by category. Interruptions can be marked to show where focus is lost.
- 6
End-of-day review
A review sets the plan beside what happened. Planning accuracy, completion rate and time allocation are tracked across days and weeks.
- 7
A 2.6 GPA, above 35 of 69
That is against the other daily planner apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
Doobies is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

The report card
Best for comparing your plan with what really happened
Doobies plans your day on a timeline, has you log what you really did with timers, then sets the two side by side at night, with habits, goals and an AI assistant. It's free for now, but it's in early access: you join a waitlist to get in, no prices are published for later, Google is the only calendar, and the site links to no app store listing. Skip it if you need a planner today.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published at all. It's free during early access and the makers' blog says pricing comes later, so there's nothing to weigh against the $5.99 a month that sits in the middle of this category. Free today, unknown tomorrow. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The whole product costs nothing while early access lasts, with nothing held back for a paid plan. The catch is getting in: the site's only button is a waitlist form, so there's no public sign-up, and pricing is on the way. |
| Features | B | It covers the planning job and then the bit most planners skip: an hour-by-hour timeline, timers to log what you really did, a nightly review of plan against reality, habits, goals, day and week templates, and an AI assistant that proposes tasks for you to approve. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You sign in with Google or Apple, connect Google Calendar and build out templates before the plan-and-review loop is doing anything for you. And first you have to be let in off the waitlist. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with two-way Google Calendar sync. But Google is the only calendar it talks to, the site links to no App Store or Google Play listing, and the phone apps are mentioned only in a blog post. |
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 Doobies is for
- Fits if you want to see planned time against real time at the end of each day
- Works for people who want a day plan, habit streaks and goals in one app
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need a planner today, as all you can do is join a waitlist
- Not for you if your calendar is Outlook or iCloud, since Google Calendar is the only one listed
- Skip it if you want to know the price before you settle in, because none has been published
- Watch out: the site links to no App Store or Google Play listing, and the phone apps are mentioned only in a blog post
- Watch out: you can only sign up with a Google or Apple account

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Doobies is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- Tasks, time blocking, calendar, time tracking, habit tracking and goals: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Doobies’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.
