The calendar for real work

If it needs to happen, it needs time.

Skens gives every task an exact duration and real time on your calendar. It plans around your classes, meetings, and travel, keeps the plan current when the day changes, and tells you plainly when there isn't enough time.

No card needed to create your account.

What it's for

Plans that are actually possible

Most tools let you plan more than you can do. Skens treats time as the finite thing it is.

To-do lists hold more than a day can

A list never says no. It happily holds twelve hours of work for a day with four free, and you find out at 11 PM.

Calendars don't understand deadlines

Your calendar knows when meetings are, not that an essay needs three focused hours before Friday.

Plans go stale by lunch

A class runs long or a session gets skipped, and the rest of the week quietly stops being true.

How it works

Three steps to a plan you can trust

  1. 1

    Add what's fixed

    Classes, meetings, shifts, and appointments. They stay exactly where you put them.

  2. 2

    Add what's flexible

    Give each task an exact duration, a deadline, and a priority. Split big work into sessions.

  3. 3

    Skens finds the time

    Work is placed into real open time, and when it can't fit, you see exactly how much is missing.

Features

Built for days that don't go to plan

Precise planning, adaptive execution.

Automatic placement

Deadline first, priority first, or balanced. Every placement comes with a reason you can read.

Honest capacity

When work won't fit before its deadline, Skens shows the shortfall instead of cramming it in.

Check-ins, not guesses

After each session, mark it done, missed, or needing more time. Missed work finds a new slot.

Travel that counts

Travel time and an arrival buffer are blocked out. A daily check can update when you should leave. It does not watch traffic as it changes.

Your other calendars

Google Calendar and Outlook events come in as fixed time, so plans work around them.

Alerts on iPhone

Set up to five alerts per event or task, counted back from when you need to leave. They notify on iPhone. There is no App Store or Play Store app yet.
