Plannie 1.5.1: ready for iPhone Duo, plus a Day view, search and richer events

The short version: Plannie 1.5.1 is ready for iPhone Duo, with a new tab bar, a Day view and search in the calendar, richer events, a per-person filter for Habits and Rewards, quicker lists, and widgets that stay up to date.

Plannie 1.5.1 is now on the App Store. Most of this release is about the iPhone, and a good part of it is for anyone getting an iPhone Duo this week.

Ready for iPhone Duo (and better iPad support)

Plannie now uses the iPhone's own tab bar. On iPhone it sits at the bottom. On iPhone Duo it moves to a rail along the side, folded or open, so the week gets the full width of the screen. On iPad it floats at the top.

A calendar that's easier to steer

We introduced a new day view together with the previous event view to see the day in full view!

Tap the menu icon to open a side menu where you switch views and choose whose events you see. Plannie remembers your pick, even after you close the app.

The clock in the header is now off by default to make Plannie less cluttered. You can turn it back on for each device under Settings → Calendar.

Events with everything attached

An event can now hold its Meet or Teams link, a guest list, a map of the place and its own colour, so the details for the call or the trip are on one card. If an invite goes to one of your other email addresses, it now shows your own reply.

Habits and Rewards, one person at a time

You can filter Habits and Rewards by family member to see a single person's board. A child checking their own day gets a calmer screen.

Quicker lists

The + menu adds a new list or a new section. Long-press an item to drag it where you want it. Selecting text in a list item now works the way it does in the rest of iOS, with the magnifier.

Widgets on iOS are now updated in real time

Home-screen widgets now update as soon as you or anyone in the family changes something, including changes made with Siri and Shortcuts.

Fixes and polish

First-time setup looks better on iPad and iPhone Duo, the Files folder row on desktop no longer jumps back to the start, and there's the usual round of smaller fixes.

Update from the App Store to get it, and tell us what you think through Help & Feedback in the app or through the web on app.plannie.io!
