Vene: A day you can finish.

Most planners fit as much as they can into your day. I built one that plans a day you can finish. Vene is a Mac planner built on one idea. If you finish your work early, the rest of the day is actually yours. I’m a student, and I noticed that on days I procrastinated, I spent the whole day half working and half relaxing, then felt super guilty once the sun set. On days I started early and actually finished while it was still light out, I felt great. I realized it was the same amount of work. The difference is you know when you should work, and when you can relax. Of course, I first tried other apps. The MoSCoW system in Apple Reminders worked for a while, but it was tedious to have to move the dates each time I didn't finish.. FlowSavvy replanned around my life on its own, which I loved, but it packed my days so full that when I saw them, I didn’t even want to start. So Vene works differently. The night before, you choose what you’ll finish tomorrow, like a promise to yourself. Vene fits it around your calendar, adds breaks, and replans if something comes up. It keeps track of deadlines so you don’t have to. It’s Mac only for now and works with Apple Reminders and Calendar. Most of my classmates use Google Calendar and Tasks, so I'm planning on adding that next. The scheduling might need some tuning, so please let me know if ever it gets your day wrong. Price: Free during beta, then $108/yr after. Always free for anyone in education with a .edu email. On AI: I built Vene with a lot of help from Claude Code. The idea and the design are mine, and I use it every day. LinkedIn if you want to know who’s behind it: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peiyang-lin-7ab793431/ venehq.com
