Why Planner looks the way it does

A planner should lower the volume of your day, not add to it.

Planner is built around a style we call Editorial Calm: warm paper, a handful of colours taken straight from the app icon, and type that stays out of the way.

Four colours, one job each

• Terracotta for what is happening now.
• Charcoal for numbers and progress.
• Sand for rest and empty space.
• Sage for habits and things you have done.

Every widget is a simple object you can recognise from across the room, which matters when Planner is running on a display on your desk.
