How Ellie Planner works?

Ellie Planner wants to help you better organize the week with a calendar and tasks, so it uses time-blocking and time-boxing techniques to help you focus on a set task in a block of time.

Many people find apps like this helpful in allocating set tasks to get done based on the time they spend on them. This helps them reduce multitasking and associate time with the task at hand, a growing technique many people use.

With that in mind, Ellie helps you create tasks, sub-tasks, lists, a backlog of tasks (in an area called Brain Dump), add events, connect Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Apple Calendar, and even connect with apps like Todoist, Slack, and Notion to bring in tasks for task consolidation.

Who is Ellie Planner best for?

Ellie Planner wants to be a cross between Sunsama (a high-end productivity planning app) and Todoist (a to-do list app).

Ellie Planner itself offers a clean experience with the ability to manage tasks, calendar, and block your week ahead, which is great, but a lot of the features are locked under the Ellie Pro pricing, which is $9.99 per month - and comparing that with Todoist's offering comes in almost 33% more expensive per month.

Power Features in Ellie Planner

If you're in the hunt for a weekly planning application and open to new concepts like more focus on time-boxing, brain dump areas, and integrations to bring in tasks, we'd recommend looking at Ellie Planner - also it supports a solo developer.

The app moves fast and is impressive at adding features & fixing bugs.
