Weekly planner & time tracker for Android
Most planners hand you a list and wish you luck. Week Planner starts from the hours you genuinely have — around work, school and everything else already fixed in your week — then tracks what you really spend, so you can tell the difference between the week you planned and the week you lived.
Why another planner
Three things go wrong with the usual approach — and each one is a thing Week Planner was built to fix.
Twelve items look reasonable on a page. Spread across a week that already contains a job, a commute and dinner, half of them were never going to happen.
Instead: plan onto real days, with real durations, in the gaps you actually have.
A time tracker tells you where last week went. Useful — but only if the numbers feed back into the plan for the week ahead.
Instead: planning and tracking sit in one app, on the same activities.
Work, classes, the school run: you can't move them, so most apps pretend they aren't there and leave you to do the arithmetic.
Instead: commitments go in first, and everything else is planned around them.
How it works
The guided setup walks you through it the first time you open the app, and builds a real week for you as you go.
Add your commitments — work, school, the gym, a standing call. Mark them should do when you must be there for a set block, or need do when you mean to keep them but could reschedule. Your free time becomes visible immediately.
Drop tasks and habits onto the days that suit them, set a start time and a duration, and see the whole week at a glance before it begins. Repeating activities roll forward on their own, so next week is waiting for you.
Start a timer on whatever you're doing — planned or not — and let the dashboard compare the hours you intended with the hours you spent. That gap is the most useful number in the app.
Planning
The planning board is where you decide which days your commitments, tasks and habits actually happen. Filter by category or by goal, add an activity to a day, adjust its time, and apply the change across the week in one go.
What you get out of it: once the week is planned, the home screen simply shows what's next. No deciding on the fly, no morning spent choosing.
Time tracking
Planning tells you the intention. Timers tell you the truth, and Week Planner gives you one for each kind of work.
What you get out of it: a record of your real effort rather than your intentions — which is what makes the next week's plan realistic.
Dashboard & goals
The dashboard compares tracked time against planned time — by category, by week, day by day. Filter down to a single category to see exactly which activities ate the hours.
What you get out of it: evidence. After a few days you stop guessing where your time goes and start deciding where it goes.
Everything in the app
Tasks, habits and commitments are handled as one family of activities, so every feature below works across all three.
Fixed blocks like work, school or the gym go in once and repeat, so the app always knows where your free time really is.
One-off things to finish, planned onto a day and a time rather than left floating at the bottom of a list.
Pick the days, pick the length, and watch a fifteen-minute habit you keep beat the big plan you never start.
Group the tasks working toward the same outcome and see how close you are to something that matters.
The day view shows the space between your blocks, so you can place something useful in it instead of losing it.
A heads-up five or ten minutes before a planned activity, then again as it starts. Or just the one at the start — your call.
Colour-code every activity and track whole areas of your life, including the unplanned time.
Everything is stored on your phone. No account, no sync, nothing uploaded — and a full backup you can export and import.
Dark or light, 12 or 24-hour time, weeks starting Monday or Sunday, completion sounds and haptics on or off.
Who it's for
Lectures and labs are fixed; revision isn't. Put the timetable in as commitments, then plan study sessions into the gaps and see how many hours each subject really got.
Track billable work by category, watch admin quietly expand, and find out which projects are worth what you charge for them.
Shifts change every week. Plan around the ones you have rather than against a template that assumes nine to five.
School runs, appointments and dinner take the hours they take. Plan what's left honestly instead of over-promising your evenings.
Reading, training, a language. Put it on specific days, keep the timer honest, and let the streak do the persuading.
Two timers and a dashboard answer it in about three days — usually with one surprise you'd rather have known about sooner.

FAQ
Yes. Every planning and tracking feature is free to use. The app is supported by occasional ads, deliberately capped at a small number per day so they stay out of your way.
No sign-up, no email, no password. Install it, choose your language, and you're planning within a couple of minutes.
Completely. Your plan, your timers and your history live in a database on your phone, so a flight or a dead signal changes nothing.
On your device, and nowhere else — nothing you plan or track is uploaded to a server. You can export a full backup file whenever you like and import it on a new phone.
A task is a one-off thing to finish, like writing a report. A habit is something you repeat, like reading twenty minutes a day. A commitment is a fixed block you build the rest of your week around, like work, school or the gym.
Yes — that's what category timers are for. Start one for anything unplanned and those hours show up in the dashboard next to your planned work, so the picture stays complete.
It works alongside it. A calendar holds appointments at fixed times. Week Planner decides how the rest of your week is spent and records how long each thing actually took.
English and French, switchable at any time from Settings.
