Your day as Chrome extension now

Hey hey fellow planners, some time ago I posted about reassign.ai, which has gained over 1,000 users since. I also got tons of feedback and support from this subreddit. Today I want to let you know that Reassign now has an official Chrome extension, which should streamline your day and help you follow your plan.

In case some of you are interested in trying new ways to plan your day, like circular or clock-face calendars, give Reassign a try. The Chrome extension is available at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reassign/nkmlineplicdcbjdjnednhonjkckmkpn

Any feedback is welcome! There's a freemium version and also a free trial for anyone willing to play around.

Feedback for a digital planner that's a 24h dial instead of the usual vertical layout

Wanted to see my whole day as one shape instead of scrolling a column. So it's a clock. Full 24h ring, blocks are wedges. You draw a sleep block and it paints an energy curve over the next day (built from your sleep + circadian rhythm), so you can actually see your morning fog and afternoon crash before you plan into them. if anyone wanna try it check reassign.app

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated πŸ™

Do you find timeline and list views useful?

Hey planners πŸ‘‹

I got so much great feedback from this community, so I wanted to post an update. For reference, I createdΒ reassign.appΒ β€” a 24h dial/clock planner. It works great for ADHD visualisation. A few times I got feedback that the list and timeline views were missing, so I've added them β€” I'm curious whether you find them useful?

P.S. If you want to try the app, you can do that for free atΒ reassign.app

Thanks for all the feedback!

Does breaking a task into micro-tasks actually beat task paralysis, or does it just add overhead?

So I built that into my planner [ reassign.ai my own app, full disclosure]: you take a time block and it splits it into microtasks you can actually start.

But I'm unsure whether this helps everyone or just me. Some people I've shown it to say the decomposition itself becomes the procrastination.

What works for you when a block is too big to start? Do micro-steps help, or do you need a different trick entirely?

Reassign Β· The 24-hour circular day planner

I built this for myself, and the feedback I keep getting is that the design feels totally different from every other planner out there. Hope you like it 🀞"

Added πŸ… pomodoro to my ⏲️ day planner. Not sure anyone actually wants this?

Been building Reassign (day planner, whole day on one circular dial) for a while now. Definitely overengineered at this point πŸ˜…

Yesterday I added splitting a time block into focus/break sessions. It draws the rhythm right on the block. I built it because few users kept asking for it, but I personally never stick to pomodoro for more than a week, so I can't tell if this is useful or just feature creep???

Do you do pomodoro? Trying to figure out if I just spent a week on a thing nobody uses.

It's live at reassign.ai if you want to poke at it 😁

Do you actually want keyboard shortcuts, or is that a dev thing only?

Added ⌘K into my planner app. Then remembered most of you plan on an phone/tabled , where ⌘K doesn't exist. Genuinely unsure if I built something for me or for you.

Would you use this at all, or is touch the whole point?

Diagnosed at 36 after trying to quit smoking broke my brain. How did you quit nicotine with ADHD?

Hi everyone,

2 weeks ago a specialist confirmed my ADHD diagnosis. I'm 36, software engineer, father of 3. What led me there was strange: smoking.

I've smoked since 5th grade. Last month I tried to quit (again) and my ability to work completely collapsed. I couldn't focus, couldn't code, couldn't hold a thought. After a few weeks I gave up and started smoking again, and everything "worked" again. That scared me enough to research why, and the rabbit hole ended in an ADHD diagnosis.

Now it makes sense: I apparently spent 20+ years self-medicating with nicotine without knowing it. But that also means quitting isn't just breaking a habit for me, it's removing the stimulant my brain has been running on since childhood.

So I'm asking those who've been through this:

  • How did you quit smoking/nicotine after diagnosis?
  • Did starting ADHD medication make quitting easier?
  • Patches/gum/pouches? Did stepping down nicotine separately from smoking help, or just prolong it? For me it does not work at all :(
  • How long did the brain fog last before your focus stabilized?

I don't want to keep smoking, but I also can't afford months of not functioning. I have a job and kids depending on me. Any experience welcome.

Diagnosed last week at 36. The "weird circular planner" I've drawn for years suddenly makes sense

Hi everyone,

Last week a specialist confirmed my ADHD diagnosis. I'm 36, and it hit me how well it was masked all these years.

Quick background: I've worked as a software engineer for 15+ years. Wife, 3 kids. I was a young dad. In my 20s we travelled around the world as a family while I worked remotely. Constant novelty, constant movement. I now suspect that lifestyle wasn't a coincidence.

What finally led me here: I'm a heavy smoker, started in 5th grade. Last month I tried to quit again, and my ability to work completely collapsed. I couldn't focus at all. So I started smoking again, and went down a research rabbit hole trying to understand why quitting broke my brain. That rabbit hole ended in a diagnosis.

The thing I want to ask you about

For years I've managed my days with a hand-drawn system: a circle representing the 24-hour day, with colors and different fills to "code" what happens when. It's the only thing that ever made time feel real to me. Here's what it looks like

Every time I showed it to family or friends, they said they couldn't make sense of it. I thought I was just bad at explaining. But since the diagnosis I keep seeing similar circular time visuals in ADHD spaces, and now I'm wondering.

Is this an ADHD thing? Does time as a circle click for your brain in a way lists and calendars don't? Lists have always felt like a wall of text to me. The circle is the only format where I can actually see my day.

Would love to hear if anyone else experiences time this way.

Built an MCP server for my day planner. Braindump on paper β†’ Claude schedules it

Reassign.ai is a 24h circular day planner. The MCP server lets Claude read your schedule, place blocks, and replan the day.

My use case: I braindump tasks on paper, paste them to Claude, and it slots everything into the dial around my existing calendar. Then when meetings blow up my plan, one prompt replans the rest of the day.

What else would you use it for? Happy to extend the free trial for anyone who wants to test it.

Does this finally solves time blocking for Todoist?

I finally finished integrations on reassign.app. It supports Google, Microsoft and Todoist now, in both directions. So your Todoist tasks show up on the dial, and whatever you do at Reassign reflects back to Todoist.

Demo below shows the Google sync but Todoist works the same. Would love feedback from you guys! Free trial, no card, if you wanna test it.

My day planner is a clock face, now it syncs with Google, Microsoft and Todoist

I finally managed to finish integrations. Reassign.app now supports 3 providers: Google, Microsoft and Todoist. You can sync your time blocks in both directions, so pull events from Google onto the dial, reorder and move stuff there, and your changes reflect back to the source. Works the same with Todoist.

Recorded a short demo with the Google sync. Would love to get some feedback! There's a free trial without any card if you wanna test it and let me know how it goes.

Do you schedule tasks by time or by energy?

I've been experimenting with the another feature at reassign.ai. Made a feature that draws your predicted energy curve over your day.

Would love to get some feedback. Is this useful or gimmicky?

Is weather valuable information when you plan your days?

Hey fellow planners. What do you think about this weather chart? For me it's easier to plan outdoor activities when I can see the weather/temperature. Wondering if this is info you do or would use yourself, and if the chart itself is clear?

Thanks in advance for any feedback πŸ™

What do you think about this 3 event types visuals? Feedback appreciated πŸ™

Hi everyone, seeking feedback on a visual representation of different event types for my side project. I'm building it for myself, so it's clear to me, but I wonder if others would find it useful.

I have 3 event types:

  • Blocking: this is an event that requires my focus. Think a deep coding block or similar. Whatever requires all of me, which means I can't do anything else.
  • Non-blocking: these are events that belong on my dial, but I don't need to occupy my focus for them. For example, I do 18/6 fasting β€” I want it on the dial, but it doesn't block anything else.
  • Reference: the last type is reference. I share a calendar with my wife. I don't want her events to pollute mine, but at the same time I need to know when she has activities so I can adjust my plans accordingly.

What do you think? Is it clear? Any feedback welcome πŸ™

Question since you all live in planners: does a circular day read better to you than a vertical one, or does the column just win?
