Questions, answered
Is Thrive free?
Yes. Thrive is a free schedule planner and daily planner app. Download it on iPhone from the App Store or on Android from Google Play.
What is a schedule planner app?
A schedule planner app helps you decide when to do each task, not just what to do. Thrive combines a schedule planner, a daily planner, a focus timer and a goal tracker in one app, and updates your plan automatically as your day changes.
How is Thrive different from a calendar or a to-do list?
A calendar shows a fixed plan, and a to-do list shows everything at once. Thrive shows only what fits today, moves unfinished sections forward on their own, and warns you when your plans no longer fit.
Can I use Thrive as a daily planner for studying or work?
Yes. Students plan study sessions around lectures, and professionals plan deep work around meetings. Set a daily work capacity and your daily planner stays realistic, even on busy days.
What's the difference between a fixed block and a flexible section?
Fixed blocks have a start and end time, like a normal calendar event. Flexible sections have a planned duration and move through your day based on your progress.
What happens if I don't finish something?
Unfinished flexible sections move forward automatically and your logged progress is saved. Your timeline always shows what's still realistic today.
How does the focus timer work?
Start a section and the focus timer counts your time against what you planned. Your stats then show planned vs. actual time, so you learn how long things really take.
Do I have to use the timer?
No. Log progress any time with the progress slider — select the section and slide to how long you worked.
What are Areas of life and Goals?
Areas of life are what matters to you, like University, Exercise or Startup. Goals are outcomes inside an Area. Plan them into your schedule in one tap and track them in your stats.
What is a daily work capacity?
It's how many hours you can realistically work in a day. Thrive compares your plans against it and warns you when you've planned more than fits, so your schedule stays realistic for the life you have.
Will Thrive tell me if I've planned too much?
Yes. Live insights flag over-planning against your daily work capacity, highlight free time, and let you know when today's plans can't be finished.
