Everything a plan needs to be real
Skens is a calendar and a planner in one. It places your work into real time, keeps the plan current as the day changes, and is honest when time runs out.
Plan
Exact planning, without the busywork
Tell Skens what's fixed and what's flexible. It does the fitting.
Fixed events and flexible tasks
Fixed events keep their exact time. Flexible tasks get a duration, a deadline, and a priority, and Skens places them.
Durations to the minute
A 50 minute task gets 50 minutes. Any whole minute length works.
Three ways to prioritize
Deadline first, priority first, or balanced. Hard deadlines are respected by all three.
Work in sessions
Split a project into up to 50 sessions, with a minimum gap between them and a daily limit.
Recurring events
Repeat daily, weekly, or monthly, with times that stay right across daylight saving changes.
Your planning hours
Choose the days and hours Skens may use, so flexible work never lands at 3 AM.
Stay honest
A plan that never pretends
If the week doesn't add up, you hear about it while there's still time to choose.
Capacity warnings
When work can't fit before its deadline, Skens shows exactly how much time is missing.
Every placement explained
See why a task landed where it did, and why another one couldn't.
Conflicts in plain sight
Overlaps, work past its deadline, and work outside your hours are flagged, never hidden.
Fixed stays fixed
Skens never moves your events or quietly pushes a hard deadline. You stay in charge.
Adapt
Plans that survive the day
Reality changes. Your calendar keeps up.
Session check ins
When a session ends, mark it done, not done, or needing more time. Silence never counts as done.
Missed work rescheduled
Choose per task whether missed sessions get a new slot automatically.
Rapid placement
Place the remaining sessions of a task one click at a time, without reopening the form.
Drag or type to move
Move and resize sessions by dragging, with the keyboard, or by typing an exact time.
Real world
Travel and other calendars
The time between places is time too. Travel, live traffic, and calendar import are part of Skens Personal.
Saved locations
Save home, campus, the office, or the gym once and reuse them on any event.
Travel blocks and arrival buffers
On Skens Personal, travel time and a buffer before you arrive are blocked out, so nothing gets booked into them.
A daily traffic check
On Skens Personal, if you turn traffic monitoring on, Skens checks the route once a day, and only when that check falls inside the lead time you set. It can move when you should leave. It does not watch traffic through the day, and the event itself stays put.
Google Calendar and Outlook
On Skens Personal, connected calendars import as fixed time, so plans work around them.
Alerts on iPhone
Up to five alerts per event or task, plus alerts at the start and when you need to leave. They notify on iPhone. The iPhone app is not in the App Store yet, and Android and the browser do not deliver alerts.
One account in the browser
Sign in on the web with one account. An iPhone app is in development and is not in the App Store yet. Your calendar is private to you.
