✨ What is
Ellie Planner
?

Ellie Planner is a simple and beautiful daily planner that uses time boxes, Kanban and brain dumps to help organise and plan your time.

The app was created by Chris Raroque, all by himself! To create an application he feels works like a second brain.

The app is named Ellie after his pet hamster, and he says it's changed his life.

So, if you're looking for a simple and easy way to plan your day on your iOS application, Ellie Planner may be the one for you.
