Griply

Griply is a personal planning app for people who want goals, habits, and daily work to inform the shape of their week. Its strongest case is the link from long-range aims to scheduled tasks; the free plan’s caps make it harder to use as an expanding planning system.

Overview

Griply connects a long-term vision to goals, projects, habits, and tasks. That structure gives personal planning a practical through-line: broad ambitions can be broken into steps, then brought into a weekly schedule. It is a better fit for people who want that connected framework than for anyone looking only for a straightforward task list.

Key features

From vision to measurable goals

The Life Planner lets users define a vision and map life areas. In the Goal Planner, goals can include subgoals, success metrics, projects, tasks, and habits. This breadth is useful when a goal needs both measurable progress and recurring work; people who do not want to maintain several planning layers may find the structure more than they need.

Weekly scheduling and capture

Time blocking and calendar views help users plan the week around goals. Griply can show Google or Outlook Calendar events alongside goal work, and recurring tasks support routines. Task Smart Recognition accepts plain-English entries and can capture, schedule, and assign tasks, a useful shortcut for turning an idea into planned work. Focus sessions are also included.

Calendar privacy and support

Griply says it retrieves calendar events in real time using an encrypted OAuth access token and does not store event content or metadata. It also says it uses commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, while acknowledging that absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Support is available by email and through its communities.

Pricing

Griply is freemium, with a 7-day trial. Free costs nothing and includes 2 goals, 2 habits, 5 projects, unlimited tasks, 9 life areas, and 3 smart lists. Unlimited tasks make it viable for a small personal system, but the goal, habit, and project caps can constrain users who want to build out several areas of life.

Premium costs $2.49 a month, billed monthly. It removes the goal and habit caps and adds calendar and time blocking, a goal timeline, subgoals, and habit targets. The yearly Premium plan is $2.49 a year, billed $29.99 billed yearly; it includes unlimited goals, habits, and projects, calendar and time blocking, goal timeline, subgoals, habit targets, and unlimited smart lists. The monthly option suits readers who prefer monthly billing; the yearly plan adds unlimited projects and smart lists to the stated package, but its listed price and billing term are inconsistent, so confirm the term before choosing it.

Lifetime is priced at $119.99 a month and includes all Premium features and future core updates. It excludes paid third-party integrations and future AI features. That exclusion matters for buyers considering a long-term commitment: future core updates do not include every paid integration or AI feature.

Platforms

Griply runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, with desktop downloads for MacOS and Windows. The range suits users who move between phone, browser, and desktop while planning.

Who it's for

Griply suits people who want daily tasks and habits connected to personal goals, especially those who use calendar planning to turn intentions into scheduled work. It is less compelling for users who need only an uncapped task list, or who want a free plan without limits on goals, habits, and projects.

Pros and cons

Pro: Goals can connect to subgoals, metrics, projects, tasks, and habits, giving users a way to relate daily effort to longer-term aims.

Pro: Google and Outlook events can sit alongside goal work, while time blocking and recurring tasks support weekly planning and routines.

Con: Free limits users to 2 goals, 2 habits, and 5 projects, which can pinch as a personal planning system grows.

Con: Lifetime excludes paid third-party integrations and future AI features, narrowing what its future-update promise covers.

Alternatives

Routine is another freemium option, with a free plan that includes 3 integrations, 3 custom databases, and 250 AI credits; consider it if those allowances better match your workflow.

TimeFinder is a freemium alternative with a free tier covering core features and a paid lifetime option.

Tiimo is freemium; its free plan offers selected planning tools in iOS and Android apps but excludes the web app, so Griply is the more fitting choice for browser access.

dayGLANCE is a freemium, MIT-licensed alternative with source code on GitHub; consider it if open-source software matters to your choice.

Amazing Marvin is a paid option with a 7-day trial and a Pro plan at $8 a month for 100+ features and unlimited tasks and projects. Consider it if those task and project allowances suit you better than Griply’s capped free plan.

FlowSavvy is freemium, with a Basic plan limited to 1 scheduling-hours profile, 3 repeating auto-scheduled tasks, 5 task lists, and a 2-week auto-scheduling range; consider it if those scheduling limits fit your needs.

Tweek is freemium, and its free plan allows 1 active calendar and 2 custom colors; consider it if that calendar-focused allowance is a closer match.

Sunsama is a paid alternative with a free trial; consider it if you prefer a paid plan to Griply’s free tier.

Verdict

Choose Griply if you want one personal planning system to connect a life vision, goals, habits, and calendar-based daily work. The goal-to-schedule link is its clearest strength, but the free caps can limit growth and Lifetime excludes paid integrations and future AI features. Look elsewhere if you need a more generous free allowance or do not want a layered goal-planning approach.
