On iPhone now. Android is coming soon.7 days free, then from US$3.99 a month.
Needs iOS 18 or later.
Fifteen trackers, one home. Weight, sleep, money, habits, films and more. Switch on the ones you use and the rest never appear.
Say it or snap it. Tell Planwell what happened, or photograph the receipt. The entry lands in the right tracker.
One nudge at a time. A renewal in three days, a habit not yet done, a trip next week. Answer with one tap.
A proper page for each. Subscriptions, habits, sleep, meals, countdowns. Every tracker is built for its own job.
Fifteen trackers. Switch on the ones you use.
Each one is a small, focused tool with its own page. Whatever you leave off never appears, so the app is only ever as big as you need it to be.
Body and health
The numbers that usually end up in four different apps.
Weight
A goal, a trend, every entry.
Sleep
Hours and quality each night.
Workouts
Programmes, sets and history.
Meal plan
Calories and macros per day.
Money
What you spend, and what renews without asking.
Expenses
Spending by category.
Subscriptions
Renewals and a monthly total.
Habits
A tap a day, a year on one grid.
Habits
Daily check-ins and streaks.
Start with three. Add more when you need them.
Life
The plans, searches and lists that otherwise live in your notes.
Trips
From first idea to booked.
Houses
Saved, toured, offered on.
Jobs
Each application, each stage.
Books
What you read and how far in.
Watchlist
Films, shows and weekly picks.
Recipes
Saved from a link or a photo.
Checklists
Moving day, packing, anything.
Countdowns
Down to the second.
A proper page for each, not a row in a list.
A subscription is a renewal date and a price. A habit is a streak. Sleep is a week of nights. Each tracker is laid out for the thing it holds.
Every subscription, before it renews
One monthly total in your own currency, and the next charges listed days before they land.
Habits that actually stick
Check in with one tap and watch the streak grow, with a year of check-ins on one calendar grid.
Every night counted
Hours, quality and a weekly average, entered in a sentence or read from Apple Health.
Meals, macros included
Calories, protein, carbs and fat for each day, planned by typing or from a photo of a menu.
Say it once. Planwell does the typing.
Tracking usually dies at the form. So Home has one bar: type or speak in plain words and the entry goes to the right tracker. It can add, edit and delete across all fifteen, and answer questions from what you have recorded.
- Say
“Ran 5k this morning, felt good.”
The run is logged in Workouts. No form, no menus.
- Ask
“How long until Tara’s birthday?”
It answers from your own countdowns and entries.
- Snap
A photo of a receipt.
The expense is filed. A recipe page or a menu works the same way.
The assistant only runs when you start it, and it sends only the part of your data the question needs. It can be wrong, so check anything that matters.
A gentle nudge, before you forget.
Home opens on the one thing that needs you today, with the answer a tap away. A renewal, a habit, a trip, a show you paused. One at a time, never a pile.

Your entries are yours.
A tracker ends up knowing your weight, your sleep and where your money goes. That only works if it stays between you and the app.

What is Planwell?
Planwell is an iPhone app that keeps fifteen trackers in one place: weight, sleep, workouts, meal plan, expenses, subscriptions, trips, houses, job applications, books, a watchlist, recipes, checklists, countdowns and habits. You switch on the ones you want, and an assistant logs entries for you when you say or type what happened.
Is Planwell free?
No. Planwell needs a Planwell Pro subscription, which costs US$3.99 a month or US$39.99 a year. New subscribers get the first 7 days free and can cancel before the trial ends without paying. Prices vary by country, and your local price is shown in the app before you buy.
Which devices does Planwell work on?
Planwell is available on iOS and needs an iPhone running iOS 18 or later. There is no Android app yet, although one is coming, and there is no web app.
How does the assistant work?
You type or speak in plain language, for example "ran 5k this morning, felt good", and Planwell logs the entry in the right tracker. It can add, edit and delete entries across every tracker, and answer questions about what you have recorded. In Expenses, Recipes, Meal plan and Workouts you can also photograph a receipt, a recipe page or a menu. It only runs when you start it, and it can be wrong, so check anything that matters.
Does Planwell work with Apple Health?
Yes, if you allow it. Access is optional and read only: Planwell reads steps, walking and running distance, and sleep. It never writes to Apple Health, and every feature works if you decline.
Is my data private?
Your entries sit in your own account. There are no ads and no data brokers, and nothing is sold. When you use the assistant, the part of your data that is relevant to your question is sent to Anthropic to produce the answer, with your permission, and it is never used to train an AI model. You can delete your account and everything in it from Profile in the app.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Tapping Get started creates a guest account with no email, name or password, and guests can subscribe and use everything. You can turn it into a full account later and keep your data.
How do I cancel Planwell Pro?
Planwell Pro is billed through your Apple Account, so you cancel it in Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or the current period ends. You keep Pro until the time you have already paid for runs out.
