Plans by chat. "Need to call the dentist, finish the slides, buy cat food" → slides to critical Minimum, the rest to routine. "Slides at 10?"
Yez3 is a daily planner app built around one question: what will you do today even if the day goes wrong? Every day has three plans — Minimum, 100% and Maximum — split into critical and routine tasks. Close your Minimum and the day is a win. An AI coach helps you plan by chat, breaks stuck tasks down and runs a short evening review.
Why do daily plans fall apart?
Because most plans are written for your best day. The list has twelve items, a meeting runs over, and by 3 pm the whole plan feels lost. People also underestimate how long tasks take: in a classic study of the planning fallacy, Buehler, Griffin and Ross (1994) found students finished their thesis about 55 days after starting, versus the roughly 34 days they predicted. A planner that only holds one version of the day breaks on contact with reality.
How does the Yez3 daily planner work?
| Plan | What goes in | How often you'll close it |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | What you'll do no matter what — tired, sick or busy | Every day |
| 100% | A realistic normal day | 3–4 days a week |
| Maximum | For days when you're on a roll | 1–2 times a week |
What does the AI do in a daily planner?
Drag tasks between plans yourself, or tell the coach what's on your plate and it does the sorting with you.
Sorts brain dumps. Type or say everything on your mind; tap "Sort tasks with coach".
Turns "later" into a time. "Tomorrow" becomes "7 pm, one hour".
Breaks tasks into steps. One tap on the task card, or ask the coach. A task waiting more than 5 days? The coach suggests a small first step for tomorrow's Minimum.
Checks in. A key task still open near the end of your day gets a message: "Now, or smaller?"
Runs the evening review. What got done, what moves, what tomorrow's Minimum is.
Prefer to plan alone? Everything works without the coach too.

| Time | What happens |
|---|---|

| 21:30 | Evening review: gym moves to tomorrow 7 am |

Daily planner app FAQ
Is the Yez3 daily planner app free?
Yez3 is a subscription with a free trial for new subscribers. The price depends on your country and is shown in the App Store or Google Play before you pay. You can start the mobile app as a guest, without signing up.
Is there a daily planner app for iPhone and Android?
Yes. Yez3 works on iPhone, Android and in any browser at app.yez3.com, with the same tasks everywhere. iPad uses the iPhone app. The mobile app works offline and syncs later.
What is an AI daily planner?
An AI daily planner helps you decide what to do today, not just store tasks. In Yez3, you tell the AI coach what's on your mind, and it sorts tasks into your Minimum, 100% and Maximum plans, marks what's critical, asks for times and helps break stuck tasks down.
Can I plan my day without the AI coach?
Yes. The three plans, critical and routine tasks, reminders, recurring tasks, the focus timer, streaks and history all work on their own. The coach adds help with planning, check-ins and getting unstuck.
Does Yez3 have a widget?
Yes. The Yez3 widget shows today's plan on your home screen, so you can see your Minimum without opening the app.
How is a daily planner different from a habit tracker?
A daily planner organizes everything you'll do today, including one-off tasks. A habit tracker records repeating actions over time. Yez3 combines both: habits are recurring tasks inside your daily plan, and your streak grows when you close the Minimum.
