Lists organize
Keep related plans together in personal lists and Boards
A personal iOS project
Make a little room for what matters
Plenact is a planning app I build in my spare time: a calm place to gather ideas, shape a day, and make the next action easier to see
Built thoughtfully, one useful detail at a time
The idea behind Plenact
Planning that stays understandable
The app connects quick notes, personal lists, and a weekly view without turning them into separate copies of the same work. Each part has a clear job, so a plan can stay useful without becoming another project to manage
A simple model
Three pieces · One clear structure
Each level has a distinct purpose, from the big picture to the next small step
Cards describe activities
Give a plan enough detail to make sense, with room for notes and attachments
Checklist items express actions
Break an activity into manageable steps while keeping it part of its Card
Lists organize · Cards describe activities · Checklist items express actions
Designed for personal use
Local-first by design
The featured planning experience stores its Boards on the device. The Week Board and personal collections are separate local stores; there are no production accounts or synchronization in this showcase
This site is a static preview. It does not connect to the shared demo service, collect analytics, or upload app content. The illustrated overview uses fictional example content; the app demo is the owner's local development recording

A project built by doing
Product details meet engineering discipline
Plenact is a personal project in native iOS development. I enjoy working through the full path from a product rule to its data model, screen, accessibility behavior, and regression test
Although the domain is iOS rather than embedded, it exercises engineering habits I value across disciplines: explicit state ownership, stable data contracts, failure-path testing, and predictable behavior
- SwiftUI screens backed by canonical Board records
- Care around stable IDs, saved work, attachments, and archive restoration
- Focused tests for layout, navigation, and data-preserving behavior
This is an independent work in progress; the showcase does not represent a production service
