From your first block to handing the day to Claude.
Short, task-shaped guides to Reassign. Read top to bottom, or jump to what you need.
Getting started
Open reassign.app and plan as a guest, or sign in to save your days: continue with Google in one tap, or a magic link. Then draw your first block: press on the ring and drag from 7:30 to 9. That’s the whole loop: see the day, draw on it, reshape it as it moves.
How do I read the dial?
Reassign draws your whole day as one 24-hour face: midnight at the top, noon at the bottom. Morning runs down the right, afternoon and evening back up the left. A list flattens time. The dial shows its shape: where the day is full, where it’s open.
The now-indicator is the live red hand and bead at the current time; blocks already behind it fade. Move between days with ← →, and jump back to today with T.
For a roomier view, switch to the 12-hour half-day dial and swipe between morning and afternoon; the full ring stays a tap away. A Layers control, bottom-left, turns on the overlays that wrap the ring: weather, moments and mood, energy. More on layers ↓
What do the colours mean?
Two things describe every block, and they’re independent. Area is a colour: what part of life a block belongs to. Activity type is a fill pattern: what kind of energy it takes.
Area → colour
- Work
- Relationships
- Self
- Life
Editable, with an 18-colour palette. Rename them to your own life.

Make your own to match how your days actually feel.
Editing your day
Grab a block to move it; pull an end to resize it. Sweep a block straight across midnight or noon and it stays whole. Layer non-blocking events (a fast, a focus block) on the inner ring, where they can overlap everything else, or drag a solid block over another and it slims into a non-blocking band on the spot.
Not everything on the dial is something you do. A reference event (a kid’s training, a delivery window) sits as a slim band just outside the ring: there to see, never taking your time or blocking a plan. Hold M and draw one, or switch any block into or out of Reference from its Kind menu.
Changed your mind? Undo rolls back recent edits, and a toast brings back a deleted block. The day bends instead of breaking.
Recurring events Pro
Repeat a block on a preset: daily, weekdays, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or yearly. When you edit one, choose whether the change touches this event, all future ones, or the whole series. Need a one-off exception? Edit a single occurrence and the rest of the series stays put.
Calendar & task sync Pro
Connect Google Calendar or Outlook (Outlook.com or Microsoft 365) and your calendars land on the 24-hour dial in their own colour, as editable blocks sorted into your areas by AI. The sync is two-way: move, resize, or edit a block and it updates at the source, kept current in real time with a manual Sync now whenever you want it.
Bring as many calendars as you like and show or hide each one. Mirror a block across more than one calendar, or move it between them, and Reassign re-homes it for you. All-day events read as a hairline halo ring, never blocking your hours; a calendar you don’t own comes in read-only. Disconnect anytime and your calendars clear from the dial without changing anything at the source. How calendar sync works →
Todoist brings your tasks onto the ring: a task with a due time becomes a block, and an undated one waits in your Backlog. Schedule, edit, or check it off on the dial and it flows back to Todoist; finish a task over in Todoist and it’s marked done here. Choose per project whether undated tasks come across. How Todoist sync works →
Layers: weather, mood & moments, energy
The dial is a 24-hour clock, so more than your plan can wrap around it. The Layers control, bottom-left, toggles each overlay on or off; the red now-indicator is a layer too.
Weather (free) wraps the forecast around the ring: a day/night disc for sunrise and sunset, a temperature curve, and condition marks you can scrub by the hour, for the days ahead as well as today, in your units. Read how →
Moments & mood log the things you count through the day as points on the ring: a coffee, a glass of water, how you feel. Drag a mark to re-time it; the legend reads each one’s daily tally, average, or total. Mood is free; tracking your own moments is Pro. Read how →
Energy Pro draws a per-hour curve around the ring, high where you’re likely sharp, low where you’ll flag. Set your bedtime and sleep need once (with separate weekday and weekend schedules if you keep them), log a single night, and today’s curve draws. Read how →
Reviewing a day
The dial holds the day you planned. It can hold the day you lived, too. When a block on today finishes, its editor opens ready to mark, As planned, Didn’t happen, or Changed (with the real time). Didn’t happen? Reschedule it or drop it into the Backlog in one tap.
Step back to a past day and the marks roll up into a quiet read of how closely you kept to your plan. It rewards honesty, not a high score. Yesterday is free; Pro reaches further into the past. Claude can read a day back too. How day review works →
Backlog of blocks Pro
Some things you mean to do don’t have a time yet. The Backlog is a tray of parked blocks, off the clock but still sized and coloured. Send a block to it and it drops its time and waits; drag it onto the dial when there’s room and it becomes a real, scheduled block again.
Filter the tray by area or type, and a block you park gets sorted into the right area for you. It’s where tomorrow’s maybes wait, and where a block you mark Didn’t happen can land instead of vanishing. Why the dial needs a backlog →
Time Insights
The dial is where you live a day; Time Insights is where you see the shape of many: where your time goes by area and activity, your rhythm over the weeks, how the days felt, sleep debt, and what recharges you versus what drains you. It’s built from the days you reflect on and the moments you track: the more you look back, the fuller it reads.
Email digests
Reassign can write home. Four emails, each its own switch: a morning brief (today at a glance: your plan, first block, energy peak), an evening plan nudge when tomorrow is still empty, an evening reflect prompt to mark how today went, and a Monday weekly review of where the week’s time went. Each carries your real day drawn as the dial, and tapping a block opens that event on the ring, ready to edit.
Turn each one on or off in Settings → Notifications, pick its local hour (and the weekly’s weekday), or keep the daily ones to weekdays. The evening plan nudge and the weekly review are on out of the box; the other two are opt-in. They’re built to stay quiet: an action email skips when you’ve already done the thing, a digest you stop opening pauses itself, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe. Why the dial writes home →
