What Couchday is
Couchday is a gentle day planner for people who want structure without rigid scheduling. Its hybrid planning method lets users set day markers, add activities with durations, reorder them and view free time between activities. The timeline adjusts when plans shift, while conflict detection identifies overlaps. Reminders, focus timers for active activities and checklists inside activities support follow-through. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and Live Activities show the day or current activity without opening the app. Couchday offers a free plan with the core planner and no ads. Pro adds weekly reports, reusable templates, pinned activities, calendar sync, alarms and iCloud synchronization. Pro options are listed as Monthly, Yearly and Lifetime, but their prices are not provided. The app is listed for iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac with iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 requirements. The maker describes it as suitable for people with ADHD or neurodivergent brains and anyone wanting flexible structure. The maker is an independent developer based in Melbourne, Australia.
