Heute (HOY-tuh, German for "Today") is a daily planner built for people who want structure without pressure.
Most planners try to optimize you: streaks, guilt for missed tasks, productivity scores. Heute takes the opposite approach: it gives you a calm, unified view of your day and gets out of your way.
One timeline, not three apps. Tasks, routines, and calendar events live together as equals in a single daily view. No switching between apps necessary to see what your day is going to look like.
Routines, not habit tracking. Routines in Heute aren't meant to be optimized or gamified. They're gentle entry points into the day. A soft starting structure, not a streak to protect.
Local-first, by design. All data stays on your device via local SQLite storage. No account, no server, no cloud sync, no tracking. Your daily plan is yours.
Calendar integration, free from day one. System calendar integration is included in the free tier, not locked behind a paywall, unlike other apps.
No carry-forward guilt for unfinished tasks. No red numbers. No engagement notifications nudging you back in. No productivity scores turning your day into a performance metric.
Free to use, with an optional Heute+ subscription (monthly, annual, or lifetime) unlocking extra themes and advanced features. No forced trial, no dark patterns.
iOS, built with a focus on privacy and calm daily use.

Heute's answer:
Heute combines tasks, routines, and calendar events in a single unified timeline. No switching between separate apps.
Heute's answer:
Most planners combine two of these three: no account required, no server/cloud, and free calendar integration. Heute is the only one offering all three at once.
Compared to Structured, calendar integration isn't locked behind a subscription. Compared to Todoist, Heute isn't built around projects, labels, and filters โ it's built around one thing: what's happening today. No account, no server, just your day. Compared to Things 3, calendar events and routines are first-class parts of the daily timeline, not an afterthought.
For anyone who wants structure without being tracked, scored, or gamified, Heute is built specifically for that.
Heute's answer:
People who want a calm, structured day without productivity pressure, including people with ADHD, people recovering from burnout, and anyone tired of apps that turn daily planning into a performance metric.
Also a good fit for privacy-conscious users who don't want their daily schedule stored on someone else's server.
Heute's answer:
Heute was built by a small team with a background in psychology and UX, out of frustration with planning apps that optimize and gamify daily life instead of supporting it.
