Sova Planner
ProductivitySova Planner is an everyday planner for iPhone. Notes, to-dos, and calendars from Apple, Google, and Outlook live in one app, so you’re not jumping between Notes, Reminders, and three calendars. Check your day from the Home Screen widget. Sharing that actually works. Split life into Groups (work, friends, family) and invite people in one tap. Everyone sees the same list. You decide who can view or add. No more planning in WhatsApp. No ads, no tracking. Private stuff stays on your iPhone. It starts to feel like a personal assistant. Most apps make you retype everything. Sova doesn’t. Share text from an email, snap a photo, drop in a screenshot, or just talk. It becomes a task, event, or note in seconds.

Martin SailliezWhat works
"Messy in, organised out" (screenshot, voice, or a forwarded email becomes a task in seconds) is a genuinely useful, concrete mechanic, not just a promise. Free being complete (not a stripped trial) and clearly separated from Pro, "one clear comparison, no asterisks," is honest and builds trust fast. The privacy stance (private groups stay on-device, offline, no ads or cross-app tracking) is a real answer to the fatigue people have with productivity apps quietly harvesting data.
The biggest problem
"Notes, calendars, and shared lists in one calm view" is genuinely the pitch of Sunsama, Structured, Amie and half the App Store's planner category, and the page never says why Sova specifically. The two use cases you show (Everyday life, Teams) are both things TickTick or Notion Calendar already claim too, so a visitor who already has a planner has no concrete reason shown to switch, just a promise of calm that every competitor also makes.
Top suggestion
Pick the one feature that's actually rare, "messy in, organised out" (screenshot or voice becomes a task in seconds) is the closest thing to a real differentiator on this page, and lead the hero with a real before/after of that, not the generic "one calm day view" line every planner opens with.
What does not make you want to try and download immediately?
I already have a planner (or three) and every one of them promised "one calm view" at some point too. Nothing on the page shows me a moment where Sova specifically saved me from a mess my current setup creates, so downloading feels optional, not necessary.
What are you expecting the most from a Planner app?
Honestly, that it survives me NOT maintaining it. Every planner is great for the first week; the real test is whether a messy voice memo or a forwarded email still turns into the right task three months in, without me having to go back and fix it. That's the one claim ("messy in, organised out") I'd want proven, not stated.
That's extremely useful, thank you! I believe Sova already tackles these issues but it means that it isn't obvious enough then! We will work on it. Thanks again
