Diarized
Diarized schedules your top priorities, so they actually get done
Keep the task app you already use. Diarized joins it to your calendar, books your most important tasks into the hours you actually have free, and shows the reasoning behind every block it places.
30 days free · Connects in one click · $9.99/month or $89.99/year after
Reads your tasks and to-dos from
Schedules them in your next free slot on

Not another app to move into.
Most auto-schedulers want to be where your work lives. Diarized has no to-do list and no calendar of its own. It connects the two you already have.
The usual deal
- Move every task into their app first
- A second interface to learn
- A second calendar to live in
- Your old task app goes unopened
- If they shut down, your tasks go with them
Diarized
- Keep the task app you already use
- Nothing new to install or learn
- Blocks land in Google or Outlook, so any calendar app reads them
- Books only the hours nothing else is in
- Every block says why it landed there
- Move a block and it stays put
- Your tasks and your calendar stay yours, always

The idea is not ours
In a survey of 100 productivity practices, timeboxing was ranked the most useful of all. Scheduling your tasks, rather than listing them, is what the people below have been recommending for years. The last two quotes are Clear on habits rather than on calendars, which is the same argument one level up: a week you fill in every Sunday is one of those habits, and filling it in is the part Diarized does for you.
“In a survey of 100 productivity hacks, timeboxing — migrating to-do lists into calendars — was ranked the most useful.”
“Schedule every minute of your day.”
“Work from your calendar, not a to-do list.”
“Without planning ahead, it's impossible to tell the difference between traction and distraction.”
“When you schedule something, you're making a commitment to yourself.”
“What gets scheduled gets done.”
“If it's not scheduled, it's not real.”
“Time blocking makes it much more likely that we're going to get it done.”
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”
Simple pricing
Diarized is $9.99 a month, or $89.99 a year, and the first 30 days are free. A change reaches your calendar in seconds wherever your app can tell us, and within 15 minutes where it cannot: Todoist and Linear push, and the other nine task apps are checked on that poll.
Monthly
Free for the first 30 days. A card is needed to start, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel from the billing page at any point before it does.
Annual
The same plan, three months cheaper than paying monthly. The trial is the same 30 days, and nothing is charged until it ends.
Questions
Do I have to move my tasks into Diarized?
No. It reads the task app you already use and writes blocks into the calendar you already use, so you migrate nothing and there is no second app to check.
What happens when a meeting moves?
Diarized re-places your blocks around it, so the day closes up instead of sitting on top of the new meeting. Anything you moved by hand stays put.
Can it change my own calendar events?
No. Every block it creates carries a marker, and it only edits or removes events carrying that marker. Your own meetings are read as busy time and never touched.
What if I drag a block somewhere else?
It stays where you put it, and later runs schedule around it. Delete a block and the task is marked done in the app it came from.
Which apps does it work with?
The task apps are listed at the top of this page, and they schedule into Google Calendar or Outlook. That list comes from the product itself, so it is never out of date. If yours is missing, tell us. See what is planned.
What Diarized asks for, and why
Four things. To read your calendar, so it knows when you are already busy; it does not use the contents of your meetings. To write to your calendar, so it can place blocks in the free gaps and move them later. To read your task list, so it knows what to schedule. And to tick tasks off when you delete a block. Nothing is sold, shared or used to train models, and you can disconnect everything at any time. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Do not take this page's word for it
You were probably going to check us against something anyway. The question is already written, including the part asking where Diarized falls short. We cannot see the answer and we cannot edit it.
Diarized is one person's system, automated. It got me into medical school and through it, a full scholarship at Cambridge, and more than $10 million raised for another company, by deciding what the week would hold and putting it in the calendar, one task at a time. Doing that by hand is the part I stopped doing, so I built the part that does it.
Stop deciding what to do next, every hour of every working day.
Connect a task app and a calendar, and Diarized fills your week in.
