The problem
When the plan in your head is too big
Too many things are competing for attention.
The task is vague, so there is nowhere obvious to start.
Your energy is lower than the plan assumed.
The day changed and the original plan no longer fits.

AI and your data
AI suggestions, with clear limits
When you request an AI planning feature, Planlet sends the planning input needed for that request to OpenAI. Depending on the feature, that can include brain-dump text, task and step details, estimates, priorities, energy, planning preferences, and a previous recommendation.
Suggestions may be imperfect, incomplete, or unsuitable for your circumstances. You remain responsible for your decisions, deadlines, and actions.
Saved brain dumps and planning data are saved in Planlet when you save them. Read the Privacy Policy and AI Disclaimer for details.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Planlet a task manager?
No. Planlet is focused on helping you begin, take a short focus session, get unstuck, and rebuild a day. It is not a complex task manager, calendar, or project management platform.
Do I need to organise my tasks first?
No. Start with a brain dump. Planlet is designed for the point before everything is neatly organised.
What happens when my day plan stops working?
Use Day Rescue to reconsider what still fits and choose a more realistic next move. A reset still counts.
Is Planlet a medical product?
No. Planlet provides productivity support and task-planning assistance. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure medical or mental health conditions.
Can I keep planning manually when I reach an AI limit?
Yes. Manual planning stays available on the Free plan.
How is the information I enter used?
When you request an AI planning feature, Planlet sends the planning input needed for that request to OpenAI. Saved brain dumps and planning data are saved in Planlet when you save them. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
