One Swiss Knife in the exact shape of your life.

A Notion Calendar alternative that doesn't route through Google.

Notion Calendar is free, which is possible because it's a front end for Google Calendar and a funnel into a Notion workspace. Planner's Compass is a file: your weeks, your goals, your reviews, no third party in the loop.

Calendars are among the most revealing documents a person keeps — who you met, when, how often. This page is for people who'd rather that record not be a joint asset of two companies.

What it is and isn't

Planner's Compass is a planning instrument — weekly shape, goals, reviews, the honest look back on Friday. It is not a shared team calendar and won't send anyone an invite. If your day is meetings other people book, keep the calendar you have.

Why a planner and a calendar are different things

A calendar records commitments. A planner asks whether they were the right ones. Notion Calendar is very good at the first and structurally uninterested in the second.

The refund

Thirty days, one e-mail, money back.

Common questions

Can I still use Google Calendar for work?

Of course. Most people do — work invites there, the actual planning here.

Does it import .ics?

No. Deliberate: the planner is what you decide, not what got booked.

Is there a mobile view?

Yes — it's an HTML file and lays out for a phone browser.

How does it compare to Todoist?

See /vs/todoist. Compass plans the week; a task list runs the day.
