Plan
Draw the day in time.
Today shows the day as a chronological rail, keeps gaps visible, and distinguishes a one-off adjustment from a change to the usual week.
Plan. Focus. Adapt.
Anchor: Plan the day.
Learn what moved it.
A private day planner and focus timer for people moving between Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch who want to learn why the day they lived differed from the plan.
Draw the day first: see open time, build the usual week, and keep today-only changes explicit.

Look inside
No mockups.
The real product.
Build 20 is available as a notarized Mac beta. Invite-only TestFlight remains on its separately processed build, and there is no public App Store listing yet. Distraction notes never enter the Hub, analytics, telemetry, or a cloud model.
A plan is only useful if it can survive reality.
The gap is the useful part.
Anchor schedules the day, protects the current block, captures what changed, and gives that evidence back when you plan tomorrow.
One daily loop
Plan it. Live it. Learn.
Schedule the day, protect the current block, then review the difference without turning it into a score.
Focus
Protect the current block.
Anchor offers the current or next scheduled block, keeps time from the wall clock, and makes interruption capture immediate.
Capture
Name what moved the day.
Coming back captures the interruption. “Nothing, just a break” stays one key away.
History
Compare the plan with reality.
Deliberate changes, internal pulls, external interruptions, human needs, estimation errors, and unknown gaps stay distinct.
An honest fit
A planner that takes divergence seriously.
A fit Anchor fits if you want one place to schedule the day, focus on the present block, and learn why the plan changed.
Not a fit It is not a website blocker, a social productivity feed, or a moral score for how closely you followed a plan.
Private by construction
Your notes are not product telemetry.
Full Anchor data stays local or in your private iCloud database. Optional Hub sync sends only finished-session summaries and never distraction notes, plans, or behavior selections.
Read the plain-language privacy policyA few honest answers.
Do I need an account?
No. Anchor is fully usable without one. A Significant Hobbies Hub account is optional and only adds finished-session summary visibility.
Is it on the App Store?
Not yet. This site will not show Apple’s App Store badge until a live apps.apple.com page exists.
Can I download the Mac app?
Yes. The Mac beta is Developer ID signed, hardened, notarized by Apple, and requires macOS 26 or later.
Which devices?
Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch. The landing uses real captures from those apps.
“I wanted the interruption filed before I had agreed to it.”
