AI planner that schedules your tasks, habits, and focus blocks around your day.

ProductivityPaidPro from $9.99/mo; lifetime $299.99

Ellie Planner is a daily planner built by a single independent developer, following the same idea as Sunsama: start with a brain dump of everything on your mind, then pick what fits today and timebox it around your calendar. Unfinished tasks roll over to the next day, so nothing is silently lost.

Key Features

  • Brain dump with daily timeboxing
  • Unfinished tasks roll over automatically
  • Sync with Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars
  • Two-way sync with Notion and Todoist import
  • AI assistant with ChatGPT and Claude support
  • Slack messages turned into tasks

How it works

It syncs with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook, imports from Todoist, and connects to Notion and Slack. An AI assistant can help timebox your day, and it also works with ChatGPT and Claude through MCP. The interface stays calm and focused on one day at a time.

Ellie has no free plan, only a 7-day trial. Pro costs $9.99 per month, $99.99 per year, or $299.99 for a lifetime licence, with half price for students, teachers, and nonprofits. It is a good value if you like the Sunsama workflow but not its price.
