PLANR 0.5.0

PLANR 0.5.0 — an ExoSynk Labs project

Alarms that always fill the screen, a calendar for your whole day, and smart input that understands what you type.

Alarms ring full screen

• The alarm now switches the screen on and fills it, over the lock screen, even when the phone was asleep.
• With Display over other apps allowed, it also takes over the screen while you're using another app.
• PLANR keeps the phone awake from the moment the alarm fires until it's on screen, so it can't be dropped half-way.
• New Alarm setup checklist in the Alarm tab, with a one-tap fix for each item: notifications, full-screen alarms, exact alarms, display over other apps, battery.
• Test alarm button: rings in 10 seconds so you can lock the phone and check.
• Redesigned ring screen: big clock and date, a pulsing alarm icon, Samsung-style swipe to dismiss / swipe to snooze, and true full screen (status and navigation bars hidden).

Smart input

Type it the way you'd say it, on the new Today tab or in Reminders:

• “call to parth at 9 am” → reminder “Call Parth” at 9:00, with Parth matched from your contacts.
• “message Rahul about the project tomorrow 4pm”, “whatsapp mom tonight”
• “wake me up at 6:30 weekdays” → alarm · “in 20 min check the oven” → reminder
• “pay rent on the 1st”, “gift shopping 25th december 10am”, “vitamins every day at 9:30 pm”
• “note: gift ideas for mom” → note

You see what PLANR understood before you save, and you can switch between reminder, alarm and note. For “call / message / WhatsApp someone” there's a contact selection bar: matching contacts appear as chips, and a search box shows when the name isn't found.

Reminders with a contact get a Call / Message / WhatsApp button in the notification, on the full-screen alert and in the calendar. In the reminder editor, typing a time in the title offers to set it for you.

Contacts are read on the phone only, after you allow it. PLANR still has no internet permission.

Today + calendar

The new Today tab is the first thing you see:

• Week or month calendar with dots for reminders, notes and alarms. Repeating reminders show on every day they recur.
• Tap a day to see its alarms, reminders (tick them off, or call straight from the list) and notes. Overdue items are listed too.
• The smart bar adds to whichever day you picked.
• Quick actions: Alarm, Reminder, Note, Focus, Off-Grid, Routines.
• Screen time, level and streak at a glance.

The bottom bar is now Today · Habit · Alarm · Reminders · Notes. Routines open from Today's quick actions.

Install

Download PLANR-0.5.0.apk below (Android 11+). After installing, open Alarm → Alarm setup and tap Allow on each item, then try Test alarm.

PLANR 0.4.0

PLANR 0.4.0 — an ExoSynk Labs project

PLANR is now a full planner: Habit · Alarm · Reminders · Notes · Routines in one offline app, and they work together.

Habit

Everything from earlier versions (shields, Mindful Gateway, focus, schedules, Off-Grid, Lockdown, Insights, XP) now lives in the Habit module. Its Home now has a Today card with your next alarm, what's due, pinned notes and running routines.

Alarm

• Alarm groups: switch a whole set of alarms on or off at once (e.g. "Weekday mornings").
• Repeat on chosen days, or ring once on a specific date. Skip just the next ring.
• Alarm sound from your ringtones (or silent), per-alarm volume, gradual volume increase.
• 5 vibration patterns, snooze interval (5–30 min) and repeat count (1–5 times or forever).
• Read the time and alarm name aloud.
• Optional math challenge to dismiss.
• Morning brief after you dismiss: today's reminders (tick them off right there), habit streak, next alarm, running routines.
• Rings over the lock screen and during Off-Grid. Stops after 5 minutes (snoozes if it can).

Reminders

• With a date and time, all-day, or "anytime" (no date). Repeat daily, on weekdays, weekly, monthly or yearly.
• Early alert (5 min to 1 day before), Complete and Snooze right from the notification.
• Alarm-style alerts that ring full screen for the important ones.
• Categories with colours, pinned reminders, Today / Scheduled / Anytime / All / Completed views, quick add.

Notes

• Text notes and checklists, 8 colours, pin, archive, search.
• Remind me on a note creates a linked reminder; reminders show and open their note.
• During Off-Grid, jot a thought from the lock screen. It's saved as a pinned note.

Routines

• If → Then, with undo when it ends (like Samsung Modes & Routines).
• Triggers: time or time window, alarm dismissed, charging, battery low, headphones, app opened, Off-Grid start/end, focus finished, or manual.
• Actions: Do Not Disturb, sound mode, media volume, start Off-Grid, start Focus, Mindful Gateway, alarm group on/off, a message, today's brief, open an app.
• Suggestions to start from: Good morning, Bedtime, Desk focus, Headphones on, After Off-Grid.

Also

• XP for completing reminders and for getting up without snoozing; new achievements "Getting it done" and "Early bird".
• The widget shows your next alarm and how many reminders are due.
• Backups now include alarms, reminders, notes and routines (0.3 backups still restore).
• Alarms, reminders and routine timers are re-registered after reboots, updates and time-zone changes.

Also new since 0.2 (from the unreleased 0.3)

• Mindful Gateway: an optional pause before every app, with a skip list.
• Shields: daily open limits, plus 0–5 emergency passes a day.
• Lockdown: hours when rules can only get stricter, optionally blocking Android Settings.
• Wind Down bedtime reminder with auto Do Not Disturb, and Eye Care 20-20-20.
• Insights: 5-week heatmap, per-app history, XP, levels and achievements, plus a home-screen widget.
• Backup & restore to a JSON file.
• Upgrades keep your data (real database migrations instead of resets).
