Arcush is a minimalistic daily planner app that can help people build a balanced schedule, plan smarter, and get more productive. It’s a fast and simple way to organize the day, which enhances focus and doesn’t disperse attention with unnecessary features.
Hey Product Hunt community! 🚀
My name's Andrii, I'm a professional procrastinator! Oh, em…, I meant a productivity enthusiast. 😅 But let's not dwell on that – I'm part of a fantastic trio of Ukrainians who've crafted a new productivity gem for you. Say hi 👋 to @volodymyr_dudchak and @clevashov!
📖 Our Journey:
We've tried many tools and techniques to improve our productivity. Some helped, but many just brought more complexity and stress into our lives. We found ourselves juggling multiple tools, customizing settings, and battling with fancy features and designs, ironically becoming more productive at avoiding the essentials.
🌟 Introducing Arcush:
That's why we created Arcush, a minimalistic daily planner app. It's a simple yet powerful tool that helps people manage their tasks, build a balanced schedule, and, ultimately, accomplish more things in a truly stress-free way.
Oh, by the way, "аркуш" ([ˈarkʊʃ]) in Ukrainian means "a sheet of paper" and is often used as a metaphor for a clean state that gets filled with something.
Arcush merges a to-do list with a calendar into a single tool with time blocking at its core – which I think is the most impactful productivity technique. You can quickly create tasks, specify start times and durations, and see them alongside calendar events on a unified daily timeline. Track your day's progress and get the satisfaction of ticking off tasks as you complete them. 📅✅
Arcush also has an inbox where you can add all your ideas or tasks when you're not in the mood to schedule them right away. We get it; sometimes, tasks tend to linger indefinitely. We've got you covered with our take on Inbox Zero – Arcush intelligently archives unscheduled tasks, freeing your mind to focus on what truly matters. 🗄️✨
🔑 Key Features:
Arcush has all the features you need to plan your days smarter and accomplish more things without much hassle. Here are the major ones:
- Timeline: Visualize your day on a neat daily timeline.
- Inbox: Put ideas in your Inbox and tackle them at your own pace.
- Calendar Sync: Achieve a holistic view of your schedule by syncing your calendars.
- Protected Time: Safeguard specific time slots in calendars from distractions.
- Calendar View: Easily plan your schedule with a quick switch to a calendar view.
- Task Colors: Structure your day better with color-coded tasks.
- Widgets: Keep your schedule at your fingertips, and quickly add and complete tasks on Home or Lock screens.
Some of our features are locked behind a subscription. If you want to try it but can't afford it, message me, and we'll figure something out.
Let us know what you think of our app, and share healthy productivity techniques you use daily. Looking forward to your feedback!
Cheers,
Andrii 👋
@tornike_tsiramua1 Biliki seems quite interesting. I followed you to keep track of your progress. We launch in March, would you be so kind as to follow me back and support us during our launch as well?
@alex_balykov, thank you for your support! We don’t have a full-fledged roadmap yet, as we’re working on the product in our spare time. However, we have a few ideas of what we’d like to build next, and at the top of my mind is Arcush for Apple Watch.
@janie_baek, thank you for your support!
Two big things make Arcush unique and stand out.
It’s a simple, minimalistic design that makes planning easier. It’s not just visual design (which is stunning, btw 😍) but also user experience when working with the app daily.
And it’s a unique combination of features that helps to get more productive. I personally like switching to Calendar view when planning my day and back to Timeline when I follow my schedule and progress through the day. I also love blocking off time for tasks in my work calendar to eliminate unwelcome meetings and protect deep focus time.
Give it a try, and tell us what you like most and what we can do better!
Congrats on the launch! I'm using Akiflow and loving it. Would like to try Arcush once the MacOS version is available. What's the best way to get notified of that?
Do you have Todoist importer? I’ve got my whole life there and it would be really hard to recreate everything manually in your app.
But I really do love the idea. Can it also do the auto planning for me? I guess that’s the #1 thing I dislike about Todoist is I still need to plan the tasks which I never find myself doing. So 30% of them result in being untouched.
Curious to see where it’s going and try it out myself. One thing though - please just keep it simple! There’re so many unusable productivity tools because of how complex they are. But I think you’ve got it right. Good luck!

Would there be any differential to this (minus tasks, notes, attachments and document creation) against Routine or Sorted3?
