What Align is
Align is an iPhone planner that puts tasks and calendar events into a visual time-blocked schedule. It imports events from calendars available through iOS, so existing commitments can sit alongside planned activities. You can drag or resize blocks as your day changes, set alerts for a block’s start or reminders in advance, and add checklist subtasks. Finishing every subtask marks its block complete. Blocks can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. The free plan includes unlimited time blocks, calendar sync, recurring blocks, reminders, colors, icons, and drag-and-drop planning. Align Plus can shift later blocks while keeping their durations, and is available through optional subscriptions or a one-time purchase; prices are shown in the App Store. Align requires iOS 17 or later. It runs on iPad in iPhone compatibility mode, while other Apple platforms are not supported. The maker says data is stored locally or can sync to a private iCloud account.
