Top 10 Daily Planner & Habit Tracker Apps for iPhone (2026)
Most planner apps are one tool wearing four hats: a to-do list, a calendar, a habit tracker and somewhere to write. Very few do all four, and the ones that do usually put half of them behind a subscription.

How this list was made
This list is ranked on what you get for nothing, where your entries are stored, and whether the app still works with no signal.
Disclosure: the app at number one is made by The Big Head, the developer this site covers elsewhere. It is judged on the same fields as everything below it, and carries a stated drawback like every other entry. Every app here was checked against its live App Store listing in September 2026.
