What is Time-Block Planner?
Time-Block Planner is a browser-based planner where you drag on a day grid to give time to tasks, meetings and breaks. When the day changes, a re-plan action starts a fresh column from now and keeps the old plan as a record. It works without an account, and signing in with Google adds sync and a read-only calendar view.
Worth knowing
- Web only; the site lists no iOS, Android or desktop app.
- Without an account, data lives in the browser's storage, and clearing it deletes the plan.
- Calendar access is read-only and limited to Google Calendar.
- The terms say it is run by an individual and may be changed or stopped.
Key features
- Drag-to-block grid
- Drag on the day grid to block time, or double-click for 30 minutes; keyboard shortcuts such as N for the next free slot are listed.
- Re-plan
- When the day runs off-plan, re-plan starts a new column from the current time and keeps the old plan.
- Shutdown
- A shutdown step closes out open tasks and carries the rest to tomorrow.
- Tasks, notes and metrics
- A task list, a notes area and daily metrics for deep work hours, energy and exercise sit beside the plan.
- Calendar view
- Connect Google Calendar, read-only, to show meetings in the plan.
- Asana and AI assistants
- The privacy policy says Asana tasks assigned to you can be planned, and an assistant such as Claude can read and edit the planner once you allow it.
