NeuraTiM TempoLane
See your day, one block at a time.
TempoLane draws today as one lane you can read at a glance. Collapsed, it lists your activities one after another and folds the free time between them away; on the full timeline, every hour is drawn to scale. Steps are a tap away, there are five styles to draw it in, and with no account and no tracking the plan stays on your device.
In internal testing. Public testing is not available yet.
How it works
Capture it, place it, run the day
Three things, in the order you actually do them. Nothing here needs a tutorial, and nothing waits on a sign-in.
Capture it in one line
Tap the plus and type it the way you would say it — “Client workshop 15:00 90m #work”. A chip appears for every part the sheet understood, and you remove any it got wrong. Send it to today, to another date, or to the inbox for later.
Put it on the lane
The lane is drawn to scale, so where an activity sits is what its time says. Give it steps and they open as a checklist right on the lane; make it a Smart Task and it chooses what fills it each day.
Run the day
A line marks now. Swipe between days or walk the strip of dates above, let the planner suggest where the inbox fits, and close the day by moving what is left to tomorrow.
The screens
Ten screens, and what each one is for
Pick a screen. These are screenshots of the app running, not drawings of it — one Thursday's plan, captured at 390×844 in the dark theme the app ships with and in the language you are reading this page in.
Today, collapsed
The same Thursday with the free time folded away: one activity after another, the line still across 10:40 and Design review's steps open on the lane. One button at the top switches to the full timeline and back.
Captured from a release build with a seeded day and a pinned clock, so the now-line always lands mid-morning. Quick entry is further up the page, and the five styles have a section of their own.
Five styles
The same day, drawn five ways
A style redraws the whole app — the lane, the calendar, the sheets, the type and even the corners — not just its colours. Pick one at the end of setup and change it whenever you like; your plan stays exactly as it is.
Smart Task
Can't decide? Let the day choose
Some things are one slot with several ways to fill it — a workout, a chore, something to practise. Switch on Smart Task, list the options, and TempoLane picks for each day by the rule you choose. It is in every mode, and the picking happens on the device.
Eight ways to choose
- Choose randomlyPicks any of the activities, with no pattern.
- By dateOnly activities available on that weekday, taking turns by date.
- In orderGoes down your list, continuing after the last one chosen.
- Least recently chosenThe activity that has waited longest since it was last chosen.
- Random, favour the longest waitingRandom, but the longer an activity has waited, the likelier it is.
- Same all weekOne choice for the whole week, changing each week.
- Shortest firstThe activity with the fewest minutes; equal ones take turns.
- Longest firstThe activity with the most minutes; good for filling a time limit.
Fair over time
Tick Keep choices balanced and the least-chosen options come first, so a list of three gets each one before any repeats — as far as weekdays and time limits allow.
As strict as you want
Choose one a day or several, give each option its minutes, set a time limit and the weekdays each one is available. A future day says it will choose when it arrives.
Honest about what happened
Went swimming instead of running? Tell the day what you really did, and the choice the history remembers is the true one.
Three modes
As much app as you asked for
Most planners are one app that is either too thin or too heavy. TempoLane ships three sizes of the same app, and the mode decides how many pages and fields exist at all.
Basic
Today, the month, an inbox — and the pages that make a planner worth keeping: statistics, templates, closing the day and calendar files. Steps, Smart Tasks and all five styles are there from the first day.
Pages, in the order they earn a slot
Advanced
Adds focus sessions, a priority matrix, business-day repeats, and quick entry that reads the time, the length, tags and priority out of the line you typed.
Pages, in the order they earn a slot
Business
Adds projects, clients and a board of work states, so a piece of work carries its own activities, its logged time and its rate. For one professional on one device.
Pages, in the order they earn a slot
You choose one during setup and can change it whenever you like. A simpler mode hides fields; it never deletes them, and nothing you have entered is lost either way. The navigation itself is measured rather than fixed: a phone finds room for the first few pages and puts the rest behind More, while a desktop window shows the whole list down a rail — one order, decided once.
What is in it
Everything the day needs, nothing it does not
TempoLane is a planner, not a productivity system. There is no scoring and nothing to keep up with — just the day, drawn accurately.
A lane, not a list
A single vertical rail with the hours beside it. One hour is always the same distance, so a full morning looks full before you read a title. Pinch to zoom into a busy hour, and activities that overlap sit side by side instead of hiding each other.
Steps on the lane
Break an activity into steps and they open as a checklist right on the lane, beside its block. Tick the steps that matter and the activity finishes itself.
The day, counted
How much is planned, how much of the day is still free, whether anything clashes, and how much is done — counted above the lane, and folded away when you want the room back.
Repeats, set at capture time
Every day, every weekday, every week, every month, every year, every business day, or a custom interval — chosen while you capture the activity, not two screens later. For a monthly repeat on the 31st you pick what February should do.
Quick entry that shows its work
Type “Design review 14:00 45m #work” and the sheet shows a chip for each thing it understood: the time, the length, the tag. Remove any chip you disagree with. Your title is never rewritten behind your back.
An inbox for the undated
Anything captured without a date waits in the inbox with its length attached, ready for the day you decide to give it. Swipe one to schedule it or let it go, with an undo.
Month, week and agenda
A month grid with a mark for each activity, a week of lanes side by side, and an agenda that reads like a list — with one tap to open any date on the Day.
Focus sessions
Pick 15m, 25m, 45m, 1h or 1h 30m, pick something to focus on, and the time you actually spend is written back to that activity. A session under a minute is not logged at all.
A plan you approve, not one that happens to you
Ask the planner where the inbox fits and it proposes a whole day before it changes anything — with the reason it chose each slot. Apply it or walk away; it runs on fixed rules, on this device.
Drag to reschedule
Press and hold a block to move it to another hour. It snaps to your interval, scrolls the lane when your finger nears the edge, and lands as one step you can undo.
Close the day
At the end of the day: what finished, what did not, and where the rest goes. Move the leftovers to tomorrow one at a time or all at once, or say plainly that something is not happening — then look at tomorrow before you close the app.
Statistics that stay on the device
What your plans actually turned into: how much finished, day by day, days finished in a row, where the time went and when in the day you finish things. Counted here, from your own days, and sent nowhere.
Saved days, saved activities
Save a day you liked and stamp it onto any other date, or keep a single activity as a template and drop it into the inbox. A week that repeats is set up once.
Two more ways to look at the same activities
A priority matrix that reads urgency from the dates you already set and importance from the priority you already chose — drag a card to change its priority, never its date. Business mode adds a board of the states work can be in.
Calendar files in and out
Export a day, a week, a month or everything as a calendar file that keeps your icons, colours and steps, or as a page you can print. Read a calendar file in, and its events are yours to edit; reading the same file twice does not double them.
Projects and billable time
Business mode adds projects and clients: a project groups activities, focus time and billing for one piece of work, and a client carries a default hourly rate. One professional, one device — no sharing, no team, no invoicing.
Legible on purpose
Light, dark and high-contrast versions of every style, a reduce-motion switch that goes further than the system setting, and finished activities you can keep on the lane or hide. Every gesture has a button or a screen-reader action beside it.
Search is local and unlogged. On a keyboard, Ctrl+K opens the command palette, Ctrl+Z undoes, and J, L and T walk the days — and every change made this session is listed under Recent changes, so you can take the plan back to any point in it.
Privacy
Everything you plan stays on this device
- Nothing is sent on its own
- No account, no identifier
- No analytics, no crash reporting, no ads
- Computed here
- Links leave only when you tap them
Free
Free, and staying that way
There is no paid tier to unlock, no trial to run out and no data to sell — so there is no business model here that needs protecting from you.
If it saves you an afternoon, a tip is welcome. It changes nothing in the app either way.

Where TempoLane runs
One app, three platforms, no account on any of them. What is ready today and what is not is spelled out below rather than implied.
Web
Runs in the browser, stored in the browser's own private file system. Reminders are the one thing the web cannot do — the platform will not schedule them, so the fields are hidden rather than shown doing nothing.
Android
In internal testing. Public testing is not available yet.
iOS
Same as Android: the App Store workflow exists, the first build does not. TempoLane needs no account on iOS either, so nothing changes for you when it does.
In internal testing. Public testing is not available yet.
