FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about how the planner works, where your routine lives, and how to print it.
Is this daily routine planner really free?
Yes. There is no price, no account, no trial and no watermark on what you print or save.
Do I need to sign up?
No. You open the page and start planning. There is no login, and we never ask for your email to use the planner.
Where is my routine stored?
In a file that you save on your own device. Your routine is never sent to a server. While you work, a temporary copy is kept in your browser so a closed tab does not lose your changes, but the file is what you keep.
How do I open my routine next time?
Choose Open file and pick the file you saved. Your blocks, pictures and ticks come back, and you can keep editing and save again.
What happens if I lose the file?
You lose the routine. We do not have a copy and cannot get it back for you. Keep the file somewhere safe, such as iCloud, Google Drive, or an email to yourself.
Does saving overwrite my old file?
In Chrome and Edge on a computer it can: after the first save, Save to file writes to the same file. In other browsers and on phones, each save is a download with the date in its name, so the newest file is the latest version.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes, in your phone browser. Saving works like any other download, so the file usually lands in your Downloads folder or the Files app. To open it again, choose Open file and pick it from there.
How do I print my routine or save it as a PDF?
Use Print week for a one-page table of the whole week, or the Print button for the day you are looking at for a big checklist. In the print window, choose Save as PDF if you want a PDF instead of paper. The boxes always print empty, so you can tick them by hand.
Can I make a kids routine chart with pictures?
Yes. Each block can have one emoji as its picture, and there are starter templates for a kids morning, after school and bedtime. See the kids daily routine chart page for a ready chart you can change and print.
Do you track what I write?
No. What you write in the planner stays in your browser and in your file. If you accept the analytics banner, Google Analytics counts page visits. It never receives your blocks.
How do ticks work?
You can tick blocks off for today. The ticks are saved in your file by date, and the last 90 days are kept. To see or change ticks on another day of the week, you open the planner on that day.
