What it can do
- Works backwards from the time you want to be finished to the time you should start.

How your data is handled
The contents of the plans you enter are not sent to the author's server. Both the calculation and the making of the image happen entirely inside the browser you are using.
- Where it is stored: The plan you entered, and the templates you saved, are kept inside the browser you are using (localStorage). A template holds the plan name, the steps, the spare time and their order; the date and time you want to be finished by is not saved.
- When it is lost: If you clear the data stored in your browser (deleting history or site data, closing a private window, and so on), what you saved is cleared along with it. For details, see what browser storage is.
- Carrying data between devices: There is none. Nothing is carried over automatically to another device or another browser.
- Backups: There is no export or import feature. If there is something you want to keep, save it as an image, or make a note of it yourself.
- Sharing: The image of the flow of the day is made inside the device you are using, and is passed straight to your device's share feature or to the X post screen. Neither the image nor the text goes through the author's server.
About access analytics and other communication
This introduction page uses access analytics. It does not collect the contents of the plans you enter. For details, please see the privacy policy.
Honest notes
- It does not send notifications. Nothing tells you when the start time arrives, so please keep an eye on the clock yourself.
- The only place things are saved is inside the browser you are using. If you switch devices, or clear your browser data, what you entered will not remain.
- Sharing with an image attached behaves differently depending on whether your device and browser support the share feature. Where they do not, the text alone is passed to the X post screen.
- The result of working backwards is simply the durations you entered added up and subtracted. How long things actually take will vary with the situation.
