# Emery

> Daily planner that sorts tasks and meetings into three priorities

Emery is a personal daily planner that puts a task list and a calendar on one page. Each day's tasks are sorted into three groups, Fires, Growth and Extras, and can be dragged onto the calendar to block time. Unfinished tasks are set aside in grey instead of piling up as overdue, and Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars sync both ways.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lifetime access for $149** (Lifetime license): Emery's site offers lifetime access for a single $149 payment as an alternative to the $99 yearly plan. Source: https://emeryplanner.com/best-to-do-list-app/
- **Annual plan costs about 58% less than monthly** (Annual discount): The US App Store lists Premium Annual at $99.99 and Premium Monthly at $19.99, so a year paid at once costs about 58% less than twelve monthly payments ($239.88).

## Key features

- **Fires, Growth and Extras:** Each day's tasks go into three groups: Fires that cause problems if skipped, Growth work toward longer-term goals, and Extras that can wait or be dropped.
- **A fresh page each day:** The planner opens on today. Unfinished tasks are set aside in grey to review later, with no overdue counts or streaks, and a week strip shows the days ahead.
- **Drag-and-drop time blocking:** Dragging a task onto the calendar reserves a time slot for it. The block can be saved to a connected external calendar or kept on Emery's own.
- **Two-way calendar sync:** Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars sync in both directions, and several accounts can be connected and viewed together.
- **Priorities for meetings:** Calendar events can be given the same three priorities as tasks and are color-coded, so the meetings that matter stand out in the day view.
- **Notes and projects:** Private notes can be attached to events, and tasks and notes can be organized by project.

## Good for

- People who drop to-do apps once overdue tasks pile up
- Managers, freelancers and solo founders planning their own day
- Blocking time for tasks beside Google, Outlook or iCloud events

## Worth knowing

- New accounts get no free plan. The site sells a $99 yearly plan or $149 lifetime access with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no web trial.
- The web price of the monthly option appears only after sign-up; the US App Store lists $19.99 monthly and $39.99 quarterly.
- There are no desktop apps yet (the site says they are coming), and the App Store listing is for iPhone only.
- It is built for one person: the site's FAQ says Emery is not designed for team planning.
