Balane Plan: A Calendar That Says What Fits
A planning app that combines tasks, calendar gaps, and measured work speed to build a defensible day plan.
Field notes
Balane Plan builds schedules by placing measured task durations into the real gaps between calendar commitments, then subtracting buffers for recovery and other constraints. Its homepage shows a time-scaled example in which one hour occupies 64 pixels, tasks are split into 25–120-minute focus blocks, and two tasks totaling 3 hours 10 minutes are explicitly marked as unable to fit. The stated ranking model considers deadlines, follow-on work, project switching, energy, and latest possible start times.
