Cozy Life Planner

What is Snug?
Snug is a cozy life planner app for your phone and computer with a little friend inside: Bao the bear cub, or Mochi, Nori, Sprout or Dumpling. The companion reacts to what you actually do — it cheers when you finish something, gets proud when a habit hits its weekly target and suggests picking just three things when the list gets long. Around it sits a complete, gentle planner: quick capture, Pick 3, tasks with tiny first steps, a calendar, routines, habits, goals, a focus room, a meal planner with a grocery list, chores by room, a simple budget, a journal and a daily self-care check-in. Every small action earns acorns to decorate the companion's cozy room. No account, no subscription, works offline.
What problem does Snug solve?
Most planners are built for people who already feel organized. Red overdue dates, broken streaks and a list of forty tasks make everyone else close the app and feel worse. Gamified to-do apps help for a while, but often turn into a second job, and the cute ones rarely cover real life — meals, chores, money, mood. Snug keeps the warmth and the reward of a cozy game, but wraps it around a calm, complete life planner where nothing shouts at you.
Key features
-
A companion that notices
Five companions with real reactions: a cheer when you finish a task, pride when a habit reaches its weekly target, a nudge to pick three when today is crowded, a blanket and tea after a low-mood check-in, reading beside you during focus, sleepy late at night. Tap it for a little pat.
-
Acorns and a cozy room
Tasks, habits, routines, focus time, check-ins, chores and the weekly reset earn acorns. Spend them on 14 decorations — candles, plants, fairy lights, a rug, a bookshelf, a record player, a sleepy cat. Acorns only; never real money.
-
Pick 3 and a gentle return
Choose three things that matter today; everything else is a bonus. Tasks that waited from earlier get one kind card — bring them into today or park them in Someday. No red overdue lists.
-
Tasks, calendar and a brain-dump inbox
Capture a thought in two taps, then turn it into a task, note, appointment or grocery item. Tasks have tiny first steps, deadlines and repeats; the calendar shows day, week and month.
-
Habits, routines and goals
Habits with weekly targets and planned rest days, so a missed day never breaks anything. Routines with four ready templates. Goals with a why, a date and milestones.
-
A focus room
A candle timer that burns down as time passes, Pomodoro with cozy break ideas, a tea timer, box and 4-7-8 breathing, and a note for where you left off.
-
Meal planner and grocery list
Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week from 36 easy ideas or your own recipe box; one tap adds every ingredient to a grocery list sorted by aisle.
-
Chores, money and wellbeing
Chores by room that are ready when you are, a gentle monthly budget with bills and savings jars, a journal with daily prompts, and a self-care check-in with mood, water, sleep and three good things.

Snug is a cozy life planner app for people who are tired of planners that shout at them. It runs on your phone, tablet and computer, installs like an app, works offline and keeps everything private on your own devices. You can try the free demo with a sample week before you buy.
What makes it different is a little friend inside. Bao the bear cub — or Mochi the bunny, Nori the kitten, Sprout the frog or Dumpling the panda — sits in a cozy room with a window that shows the real time of day, and reacts to what you actually do. Finish a task and Bao cheers. A habit reaches its weekly target and Bao is proud. Today has nine things on it and Bao gently asks whether you'd like to pick just three. It's a cute planner with a heart, wrapped around a complete set of tools for real life.
A companion that reacts to your real day
Lots of planners have a mascot. In Snug the companion is driven by your data:
- Cheers when you finish a task, a habit, a routine or a chore — with a little confetti and an acorn.
- Gets proud when a habit hits its weekly target, and names it.
- Thinks when today is crowded: "That's eight things for today. Shall we pick just three?"
- Welcomes you back after a few days away, with no catching up to do.
- Wraps up in a blanket with tea after a low-mood check-in: a gentle day is allowed.
- Reads beside you while the focus timer runs, and gets sleepy late at night.
Tap it for a little pat and it hops and says something kind. You can choose your companion and give it any name you like.
Acorns and a cozy room you decorate
Every small action earns acorns: a finished task or habit, a whole routine, ten minutes of focus, a check-in, a journal entry, a chore, a goal milestone, a weekly reset. Spend them in the cozy shop on 14 decorations — candles, a pothos plant, bunting, window herbs, fairy lights, a knit rug, a reading lamp, a little painting, a tea set, a patchwork quilt, a star jar, a bookshelf, a record player and a sleepy cat — and watch them appear in the room on your Home page.
Acorns are worked out from what you actually did, so they can't be "farmed" by undoing things and they follow you to your other devices. There are no real-money purchases, ever.
Pick 3 and a gentle return
The Today page starts with Pick 3 that matter. Choose three; everything else is a bonus. Below sit today's tasks with their tiny first step highlighted, your appointments, a quick check-in and your routines and habits.
Missed a few days? Snug doesn't paint them red. Tasks that waited from earlier get one friendly card: bring them all into today or move them to Someday. That gentle return is one reason Snug works as an ADHD friendly planner — it never punishes you for being human.
Quick capture, tasks and a calendar
A thought pops into your head? Tap the + button and type it. It waits in your brain-dump inbox until you have a moment, then becomes a task for today, a task for anytime, a note, an appointment, a grocery item — or you let it go.
Tasks have a planned date, an optional deadline, tiny steps, repeats (every day, weekdays, weekly or monthly), a star and a Someday list. The calendar shows day, week and month, so Snug also works as a simple weekly planner app.
Habits, routines and goals — without streak pressure
Habits use weekly targets — three times a week, five times a week, every day — and planned rest days. Tap once for done, twice for rest, so missing a day never "breaks" anything. Snug counts the weeks in a row you met your target instead.
Routines are short tick-lists: a slow morning, a wind-down evening, a 15-minute house reset, an after-work landing — or your own. Goals have a why, an optional date and milestones that fill the progress bar.
A focus room with a candle timer
Light the candle timer and it burns down as time passes. Prefer Pomodoro? Run 25-minute rounds with cozy break ideas. There's a tea timer that tells you when your tea is cool enough, box and 4-7-8 breathing, and when you stop early you can leave a "where I left off" note that Snug shows you next time. Every ten minutes of focus earns an acorn.
Meal planner and grocery list
Snug is a proper meal planner app: breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day of the week, chosen from 36 easy meal ideas (many vegetarian), your own recipe box or anything you type ("leftovers"). Easy week fills empty dinners with quick ideas, and one tap turns the whole week into a grocery list grouped by aisle, skipping what's already on it.
Chores by room
Add chores to the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry or outside, with how often they come round. Snug never says "overdue" — chores are simply ready when you are, and each one earns an acorn. It's the easiest chore chart for adults we know: no stickers, no guilt.
A gentle budget
The Money room is a simple, kind budget: a monthly plan per category, spending entries, bills with a paid tick and savings jars that fill up. Over the plan? Snug says "no worries, it happens" instead of flashing a warning. Everything is manual — no bank login.
Self care, mood and a journal
The daily self-care check-in records your mood with five little faces, your energy, your sleep, cups of water and three good things. Wellbeing shows 30-day averages, a mood chart and your year on the bookshelf — every day is a little book spine coloured by how it felt. The journal gives you a new gentle prompt each day; notes hold lists and things to remember. That makes Snug a self care app and a self care planner in one.
The weekly reset
Once a week, make a cup of tea and run the weekly reset with your companion: notice your wins (Snug counts them for you), let something go, clear the inbox, choose next week's three and pick a cozy reward. It takes about ten minutes and earns five acorns.
Who Snug is for
Snug is for anyone who wants a softer way to plan: people with ADHD or busy, anxious minds, students, parents, people recovering from burnout, and lovers of cozy games, cottagecore and kawaii planner aesthetics. If you've tried gamified to-do lists and Habitica-style apps and wanted something calmer that also covers meals, chores and money, Snug is built for you.
Make it yours
Choose from four themes — Rosehip, Fireside (dark), Blueberry milk and Matcha latte — set the text size, switch motion and the timer chime on or off, and hide any room you don't need. Every page prints on clean white paper, and tasks, spending and check-ins export to CSV.
Privacy and devices
There's no account and no tracking. Your planner lives in your browser on your own devices. Link your phone and computer once with a 6-digit code or QR and they stay in step, end-to-end encrypted through a relay that can't read your entries. Export a backup file any time.
What you get
- The Snug app — your private link for phone, tablet and computer, with no limits.
- A 14-page Start Here PDF — install steps for every device, how to link devices and every room explained with screenshots.
- A bonus printables pack — 7 planner pages (daily page, weekly plan, brain dump, habits month, meal plan and groceries, weekly reset, monthly money), 6 coloring boards (year on the bookshelf, acorn jar, self-care bingo, reading shelf, water and sleep, savings jar) and 5 wallpapers with Bao and friends.
Good to know
Snug works in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox. It doesn't send push notifications; your companion talks to you when you open the app. It's a personal planning tool, not medical or financial advice. If you want a planner built around time and focus, see our ADHD daily planner, Tempo; for goals and the wheel of life, Grove; and for habits on their own, Hoop.
Snug FAQ
What is a cozy planner?
A cozy planner is a planner designed to feel warm and calm rather than strict: soft colours, cute details and gentle language instead of red deadlines. Snug is a cozy planner app with a companion animal, a little room you decorate and a complete set of planning tools underneath.
Is Snug a self care app?
Yes. A daily check-in records mood, energy, sleep, water and three good things, the journal gives you a new prompt each day, and the focus room includes breathing exercises. Self-care is built into the planner instead of living in a separate app.
Is Snug ADHD friendly?
It was designed with ADHD brains in mind: a two-tap brain-dump inbox, Pick 3 instead of a long list, a tiny first step on every task, a visual candle timer, habits with weekly targets and rest days, and no red overdue marks. It is a planning tool, not a medical product.
Does it work as a meal planner app?
Yes. Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week, choose from 36 easy meal ideas or your own recipes, fill empty dinners with an “easy week”, and turn the plan into a grocery list grouped by aisle in one tap.
Can I use it as a chore chart for adults?
Yes. Add chores by room with how often they come round — every day up to every three months. Snug never calls a chore overdue; it is simply ready when you are, and each finished chore earns an acorn.
Is Snug a weekly planner app too?
Yes. The week view shows appointments and tasks for seven days, and a five-step weekly reset helps you notice your wins, let go of old tasks, clear your inbox and choose next week’s three.
Is it like Finch or Habitica?
It shares the idea that a little friend and small rewards make planning nicer, but Snug is a full life planner with tasks, a calendar, meals, chores and money, and it has no subscription, no account and no in-app purchases.
Do the acorns cost money?
Never. Acorns are earned only by using the planner and are worked out from what you actually did, so they also follow you to your other linked devices.
Can I use it on my phone and my computer?
Yes. Link them once with a 6-digit code or QR and they stay in step, end-to-end encrypted. Snug installs like an app and works offline.
Is there a subscription?
No. Snug is a one-time purchase with free updates, no account and no ads.
