Help & Support
How can we help?
Find a quick answer, work through a common hiccup, or contact us when you need a person.
Getting started
The essentials for planning your first day.
What should I do first?
Start in Today, add what already has a time, and choose up to three priorities. Put everything else in Brain Dump. Planuki is designed to help you make a realistic plan, not fill every minute.
What is Brain Dump for?
Brain Dump is a private place for tasks, ideas, worries, and lists that are not ready for your schedule. Capture them first, then turn the useful items into tasks when you are ready.
What does Rescue My Day do?
Rescue My Day helps rebuild a plan when the day changes. It can surface a manageable next action, trim the plan, or reorganize what remains. The free tier includes one rescue run each day.
How do Focus Sessions and Reflection work?
Focus Sessions give you a gentle or deep-focus timer for the task in front of you. Reflection helps you close the day by noticing progress, difficulty, and what you want to carry into tomorrow.
Account & Cloud Backup
Local data, sign-in, backup, sync, export, and deletion.
Does Planuki require an account?
No. You can plan, focus, and reflect without creating an account. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email only if you choose to turn on free, optional Cloud Backup and sync.
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Core planning works fully offline — your plans, tasks, and reflections live on your device. Only optional features like AI Coach and Cloud Backup need a connection.
Does it sync across devices?
Yes, if you turn on free, optional Cloud Backup and sign in to the same Planuki account on each device. Without Cloud Backup, your planner stays local to that device.
Where is Cloud Backup data stored?
Planuki uses a Supabase project with its primary cloud database hosted in the United States. If you enable Cloud Backup from another country, your account and synchronized planner data are transferred to and stored in the United States.
Cloud Backup is not syncing
Cloud Backup requires a Planuki account and an internet connection. Open Me → Account and confirm that Cloud Backup is on. Make sure every device uses the same Planuki account and the latest available app version before contacting support.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. Me → Privacy & Your Data lets you export your Planuki data as JSON, delete a cloud backup, or permanently delete your account and cloud data. Local data remains on your device unless you remove it there or delete the app.
AI Coach
How AI-assisted planning works and what it processes.
How does AI Coach work?
AI Coach first uses Planuki planning tools on your device and, on supported Apple Intelligence devices, may use Apple's on-device language model. Only when those options cannot finish a request may Planuki use OpenAI through its backend, after asking permission before the first external request. It proposes planning steps and changes; you stay in control.
Does AI read all my information?
No. Planuki does not send OpenAI your entire account, full task history, calendar events, photos, account email, or payment details. An external fallback can include your current message, up to six recent AI Coach turns, up to fifteen relevant tasks from today or tomorrow, and limited planning context. The backend reduces and redacts the request before it reaches OpenAI.
Where are my AI Coach conversations stored?
Conversation history is stored on your device. It is not included in Cloud Backup, and you can delete saved conversations from AI Coach History. When local and on-device options cannot finish a request, the current request and limited relevant context may be processed externally after permission has been granted.
Why can AI Coach be wrong?
AI-generated suggestions can be incomplete, repetitive, or unsuitable. Review every suggestion before applying it. Planuki is a planning tool, not an emergency, medical, mental-health, legal, or financial service.
AI Coach is not responding
Some actions need an internet connection and an active Planuki Premium subscription or trial. Check your connection and subscription status, then close and reopen the app. If the issue continues, contact us with your app version and the steps that caused it—without including private planner content.
Photo or voice input is unavailable
Photo input needs Photos or Camera permission. Voice input needs Microphone and Speech Recognition permission. Review these in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security. Planuki requests a permission only when you choose the matching input.
Subscriptions & billing
Trials, renewals, cancellation, restoration, and refunds.
What is included for free?
Core planning, recurring tasks, Day and Week views, Brain Dump, Reflection, Focus Sessions, Focus Shield, notifications, one Rescue My Day run per day, and optional Cloud Backup are free. Planuki Premium adds AI Coach, more Rescue support, smart task breakdowns, planning wizards, and Calendar Sync.
How does the introductory trial work?
Eligible new subscribers may see a 3-day trial. Apple determines eligibility, and the purchase screen shows the price and billing period that follow the trial before you confirm.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancellation stops the next renewal, and you keep access through the current paid period.
Can I restore purchases?
Yes. Open the Me tab and choose Restore purchases. Make sure the device uses the same Apple Account that made the purchase.
How do I request a refund?
Apple handles App Store charges and refunds. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com while signed in to the Apple Account that made the purchase.
Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?
No. Account deletion removes your Planuki account and cloud data, but Apple billing continues until you cancel the subscription in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
Permissions & troubleshooting
Fix notifications, Calendar Sync, Focus Shield, and access issues.
Notifications are not arriving
Check iOS Settings → Notifications → Planuki and allow notifications. Then check whether a Focus mode such as Do Not Disturb or Sleep is silencing them. In Planuki, open Me → Notifications and confirm the reminders you want are enabled.
Calendar Sync is not working
Calendar Sync requires Planuki Premium and calendar permission. Go to iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars and allow Planuki access. Then open Me → Calendar Sync and select the calendars you want.
Can Planuki read or change my calendar?
Only if you enable Calendar Sync and grant permission. Planuki reads the calendars you select and shows events as protected, read-only blocks so you can plan around them; it does not edit those events.
Why did a reminder arrive late?
iOS controls final notification delivery. Focus modes, notification summaries, Low Power Mode, device settings, or system conditions can delay or silence a reminder. Keep important alarms and deadlines in a dedicated system designed for them.
Where can I find my app version?
Open Planuki and go to Me → About Planuki. Include the version number, iOS version, and device model in a bug report so we can diagnose it faster.
Privacy & your data
Your controls over AI, local data, and cloud data.
Do you sell my data or use it for advertising?
No. Planuki does not sell planner data, create advertising profiles, or track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Does Planuki use third-party usage analytics?
No. The Planuki release build does not include a third-party usage analytics SDK. Development event logs are disabled in release builds and are not transmitted or persisted.
How do I delete my account?
Open Me → Privacy & Your Data → Delete Account. This permanently removes your Planuki account and associated cloud data. Local data remains on the device until you remove it there or delete the app.
How do I export my data?
Open Me → Privacy & Your Data → Export My Data. Planuki creates a JSON file containing your planner data that you can save using the iOS share sheet.
Still need help?
We read every message and usually reply within two business days.
For a bug, include what you did, what you expected, what happened, and your app and iOS versions. Please do not include private task, reflection, calendar, or AI conversation content unless it is necessary to resolve the issue.
