Reassign
a 24-hour dial for planning your day

What is Reassign?
Reassign is a 24-hour circular day planner designed for busy makers who struggle with traditional to-do lists and linear scheduling apps. Instead of viewing time as a strip from top to bottom, Reassign displays your entire day on a single round dial with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom, allowing you to see your whole day as a shape at a glance. The app runs in any browser on phone or desktop, making it accessible across devices without requiring native app installation.
The core interaction is gesture-based time blocking: you press the dial at a starting hour, hold, and sweep to end hour to claim time directly without forms or fields. Reassign uses color to indicate which life area a block belongs to (day job, family, side project, or personal time) and texture to show energy type (recharge, flow, grind, or drain). Time windows frame stretches of the day without blocking them, letting overlapping activities remain visible. Recurring events can be set once and automatically return, handling daily scaffolding like school runs, standups, and bedtimes.
Reassign includes AI integration as an MCP server, allowing users to ask Claude to reshape their day in plain words when bandwidth is low. The AI reads your real day, finds available room, and reshapes the dial while protecting your prioritized maker's hour. The tool is specifically built for people with day jobs, families, and side projects who need to protect their creative time while accommodating life's unpredictability.
The planner is ideal for makers, entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, and anyone who finds traditional calendar apps or to-do lists ineffective for visualizing and protecting their time. It helps users see where their hours went, protect their maker's hour, and let the day bend around everything else without losing their most important work time.

Frequently asked questions about Reassign
What is Reassign and how is it different from other planners?
Reassign is a 24-hour circular day planner that displays your entire day on one round dial instead of a linear list. Your day becomes a shape you can see at a glance with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom. Unlike to-do lists or timeline apps, you interact by pressing and sweeping the dial to block time directly without forms or fields, and you can see where your hours went visually through color and texture coding.
What is the free tier and what requires Pro?
The free tier at $0 includes the core 24-hour circular dial, gesture-based time blocking, color coding for life areas, texture coding for energy types, and time windows. The Pro plan at $5/month adds recurring events (automatic daily scaffolding like school runs, standups, and bedtimes) and access to AI reshaping via Claude MCP server. There is a 14-day Pro trial available.
How does the gesture-based time blocking work?
To block time, press the dial at your starting hour (for example at 9), hold, and sweep toward your ending hour (for example to 11). This is one continuous gesture - grab time and let go. No forms, no fields to fill out. Two hours are claimed in one gesture, setting down a focus block before the day fills around it.
What do colors and textures mean in Reassign?
Colors indicate which part of life a block belongs to: blue for day job, pink for family, teal for side project, and purple for you (personal time). Textures indicate what kind of energy the activity takes: waves for recharge, solid for flow, hatch for grind, and dots for drain. This lets you read your day at a glance without reading words and see whether your own work made it onto your schedule.
What are time windows and how do they differ from blocks?
Time windows frame a stretch of the day instead of claiming it. They sit on the inner ring and don't block anything, so overlapping events remain visible. For example, a focus window from 9am-12pm can coexist with a standup at 10am - both are visible and neither blocks the other. A fast from 12am-9am is another example of a window that frames time without blocking events within it.
How do recurring events work?
Recurring events set the scaffolding of your day once, and they return automatically. Most days have the same bones - school runs, standups, kids' bedtimes - and you can set these to repeat (for example, every weekday). This handles the repetitive parts so your attention is free for protecting the one thing you actually came here to protect, like your maker's hour. Recurring is a Pro feature.
How does the AI reshaping with Claude work?
Reassign is an MCP server that lets you ask Claude to reshape your day in plain words when you don't have bandwidth to drag things manually. Claude reads your real day, finds available room, and reshapes the dial while you watch each move land. For example, if your standup moved and ate your focus window, you can ask to replan your afternoon while protecting 90 minutes for your side project, and Claude will find free slots and schedule accordingly.
What devices and browsers does Reassign work on?
Reassign runs in any browser on phone or desktop. The optimal experience is on desktop, though it is accessible on mobile browsers. No native iOS or Android app is required since it is a web-based planner.
Can I reschedule events when things change during the day?
Yes. When the afternoon throws something at you (like a recital at 5pm), you can grab the evening and it reshapes around the new event. Dinner slides, bedtime follows, but the one block you protected - your maker's hour - stays exactly where you put it. The day moves but your prioritized time doesn't get eaten.
What is coming soon according to the roadmap?
The roadmap includes daily PDF by email, productivity agents, integrations, and advanced stats. These features are marked as 'Soon' and are not yet available. You can view the full roadmap on their website for more details on upcoming features.
