One planning view
See tasks, meetings, flagged emails, and manually added work together.
Effort Plan
Plan real work by real capacity.
Effort Plan helps you see tasks, meetings, flagged emails, and manual work in one place, then decide what can realistically fit today.
Simple to try.
Effort Plan starts in Free Local mode. You can download it, open it, and add a manual task without creating an account. More setup help lives on
EffortPlan.com.
Built for overloaded workdays
Use Effort Plan when your work is scattered across task systems, meetings, email flags, and quick notes.
Realistic days
Plan against the hours that remain after meetings and existing commitments.
Split large tasks
Put part of a large task on today and leave the rest visible for later.
Easy recall
Keep short daily notes so timesheets and follow-ups are easier later.
Start manually, then add supported work sources such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Gmail, Google Calendar, Local Calendar, Local Tasks, and Local Outlook Mail.
Effort Plan imports items for planning. It does not change the original task, calendar, or email source.
