Ellie Planner

Overview

Ellie Planner is a daily planning application designed to help users organize their week through features like calendar integration, task management, and time-blocking techniques. Built specifically for people with ADHD or anyone who struggles with task overwhelm, Ellie focuses on reducing overwhelm through clean design, responsive updates, and fast development based on user feedback.

Key Features

• Brain Dump Feature: A dedicated space for "brain dumping" allows users to jot down ideas and tasks as they come, which can later be organized into actionable items
• Focus Mode: Helps minimize distractions by showing only current tasks
• Visual Time Blocking: Ellie provides a Kanban-style board that doubles as a weekly planner where you can drag tasks across days, timebox them into your calendar, and flip between a task view or a full calendar view
• Calendar Integration: Supports integrations with major calendars including Google Calendar and Outlook
• Task Management: Integrates with productivity apps such as Todoist

Platform Availability

Ellie is available via web app, desktop app (Mac, Windows), and iOS (iPhone and iPad). There is no Android app currently available.

ADHD-Specific Design

The app is built by an indie solo developer with ADHD and incorporates features specifically helpful for neurodivergent users:

• Clean, uncluttered interface to reduce overwhelm
• Visual organization over text-heavy lists
• Quick task capture for racing thoughts
• Flexible drag-and-drop scheduling

Pricing

Ellie Planner offers two main pricing options:

• Free Plan: Includes unlimited task creation, accessible via iOS and Web apps, and the Braindump feature
• Ellie Pro Plan: Available for $9.99 per month or a one-time purchase of $299.99

At $8-10/month, it's significantly more affordable than competitors like Sunsama ($25/month).
