Tasks in one app, events in another, and no single view of your week. Big Picture Planner brings them together — your to-dos become blocks you drop straight into the calendar, beside what's already booked.

A calendar shows what's booked. A to-do list shows what's pending. But your tasks and your meetings draw from exactly the same pool of time — and when they live in separate apps, you can't see them fighting for it.
So you say yes to a 4pm call, forget you needed that hour for the report, and the day quietly falls apart. Putting both in one view fixes it — because a task you can see on Thursday afternoon is a task you can actually plan around.
Capture tasks in the Life Inbox just like a to-do app. Everything pending lives in one tidy place.
Drag a to-do onto the week and it becomes a calendar block, sitting beside your meetings and appointments.
With events and tasks in one view, over-booking becomes obvious — and so does the time you actually have.
You don't have to abandon your tools. Big Picture Planner is the visual layer where they finally meet.
Brilliant for fixed events at fixed times. But loose tasks have nowhere to go, so they spill into your head.
Brilliant for capturing a list. But a list can't tell you whether Tuesday has room for any of it.
Tasks become blocks in your real week, beside your events — so you see everything, and plan what actually fits.
Yes. Big Picture Planner is built around the idea that your calendar and your to-do list belong together. You capture tasks in the Life Inbox, then drag them onto a visual week alongside your fixed events, so a single screen shows both what's scheduled and what still needs doing.
Most people don't choose to — it just happens, because calendars are designed for fixed events and to-do apps are designed for lists. The problem is that neither shows the full week. Your tasks compete for the same hours as your meetings, but if they live in different apps you can't see the conflict until it's too late.
Google Calendar handles fixed events well but has no real home for loose tasks. Todoist handles lists well but can't tell you whether there's time. Big Picture Planner sits between them: tasks become movable blocks you place into your actual week, so you see events and tasks in one picture and can tell what realistically fits.
It doesn't need to. Many people keep their shared work calendar and use Big Picture Planner as the visual layer where everything — events and tasks — comes together so they can plan a realistic week. You can try the planner in the demo with no account and nothing to pay.
Open the demo and drop a to-do straight onto the calendar. No account, no commitment.
