Write the way you already write. When a sentence carries a commitment, Penzieve makes it a task, plans the work backward from the deadline around your calendar, and asks before it moves anything you already had.

Write a sentence. Penzieve does the planning, and asks before it moves anything.
Recorded in the app on sample notes. No sound.
When the week moves
A meeting lands on Wednesday and two sessions have to move. Penzieve tells you in one sentence, and shows the week before and after if you want to look. Then you choose how much should change: the fewest moves, a balanced week, or the most breathing room.
Try the three settings. A plan applies only as you previewed it, and blocks you placed by hand stay where you put them. A change that moves a single session is small enough that Penzieve just makes it.
The day
Today is one page: what you wrote, what you worked on, what the calendar said. Start typing anywhere and you are writing. Press ⌘↩ and the entry settles into its place in the day.
A row of dots shows which days you wrote, and a quiet line brings back what you wrote on this day a year ago. In the evening the day reads itself back in a few sentences.
Facts only. No streaks, no scores.
1 year ago · First walk along the harbor wall. Wondered if the old customs house could hold a studio.
Ask and keep
Ask a question of one note, a search result, a day, or everything you have written. The answer names the notes and passages it came from, so you can check it.
Keep it and it becomes a note of your own, and it tells you later when its sources have changed. Ask on a day: arriving soon
Answers are made on your Mac with Apple's on-device model. Without a model, Penzieve quotes your notes' own words.
She wants three tiers on a single page1 and thinks the middle tier should carry the annual discount2.

The Pad
Press ⌃⌥J in any app and a small pad floats over your work. Write a line, press ⌘↩, and it lands in today. Or send it straight into any note.
The same Pad is on iPhone and iPad.

Also in Penzieve
Go through the week one thread at a time. Write up what kept coming back, see what you meant to write and didn't, and close the loose ends. Loose ends: soon
Type / for tables, checklists, callouts and columns, or just type Markdown. [[ links any note.
A linked note opens beside the one you are reading. Save an arrangement as a workspace and call it back later.
A notebook with a deadline becomes a project: phases, prerequisites, a timeline, and a plain reading of whether it fits.
When work can't fit before its deadline, Penzieve offers the ways out: a later date, more time, or part of it now.
Your notes and the state of your work on one map. Clusters show what you keep thinking about; projects show how they stand.
Protect lunch, the gym and the Monday standup. Choose steady days or deep-work stretches, and keep a task in one sitting.
Mention someone across your notes and their page collects every sentence, dated, without changing a word you wrote.
Capture, see today, tick a session off, read your notes. Planning stays on the Mac.
