Unstuck gives everything a place and helps you figure out what needs to happen next. Big deadlines get broken into steps, and unfinished work doesn’t just disappear.
Tip: almost everything can be dragged and dropped: reorder Today, move work to another day, or reorder steps in a plan.
Still not sure? Put it somewhere. You can always move it later.
A few useful things to know about using Unstuck. Tap any topic to open it.
The box at the top of Today is your forecast: a Light, Medium, Busy or Heavy day, based on how much work is planned.
It’s an estimate of how much work there is, not how hard the day will feel.
Tap the circle to check something off. It moves to your Done list. Checked one by mistake? Tap it in Done to put it back.
Didn’t finish something? It doesn’t disappear. It comes forward to Today, so you can do it, move it, or let it go. No guilt trip, just a second chance.
Drag and drop tasks to put Today’s list in the order you’ll do them, or drag one onto a day in This week or onto the Running List.
Below Today, see the next seven days at a glance: practices, due dates and how much work each day holds.
Tap the + at the top of any page, type what it is, then pick:
Not sure when something’s due? Put it on the Running List.
Pick the kind of work and Unstuck suggests the usual steps, spaced across the days before it’s due. Change, add or delete any step, or drag and drop steps to reorder them. Change the start date and the steps move with it.
Each kind has a planning window: how early planning begins. It’s not a promise of work every day.
Due very soon? You’ll get a review night or one or two Make progress on… sessions instead of a long list.
Add it with + → Something bigger → Test prep. Then choose:
Sessions are scheduled two weeks at a time. Missed one? It drops off. No growing backlog. Unstuck plans the time; bring your own practice materials.
For things you do again and again, like piano or reading. Pick the days and how long they take.
Running List is for things that need doing but don’t need a day yet: emails, forms, things to ask. Drag one onto Today (or a day in This week) when you’re ready.
Brain Dump is for when your head is full. Get it out, sort it later. Tap a note, then Do something with this to turn it into a to-do, a Running List item, or a plan.
Pick what you’re working on, drag it into the order you want, and choose your block and break lengths. Then start the timer.
Tap the gear icon for:
Ten minutes. That’s it.
A quick check of what’s coming, what needs attention, and what might have slipped through the cracks.
Every Sunday, Sunday Reset shows up as the first card on Today. Tap it to open the checklist. Each step shows real counts from your planner and a button that takes you there. You can also start it any day from Settings.
Open my planner →Then you’re done. Go have your Sunday.
Do the setup together.
The welcome checklist takes a few minutes: classes, the big tests and projects you already know about, and regular practices. Doing it together with the syllabus in front of you goes much faster.
Then hand it over.
After the first week, your job is mostly the Sunday reset. Ten minutes together is plenty.
Try not to fill in your child’s entire day for them. A planner someone else wrote doesn’t get opened.
The goal isn’t a perfect planner.
It’s a planner they actually use.
Some school networks block new websites. If Unstuck won’t load on school Wi-Fi or a school laptop (you may see “This site can’t be reached” or “connection closed”), nothing is wrong with the planner, and nothing is lost. It still works at home or on mobile data.
To fix it, ask the school’s IT or tech help desk to allow this one address:
