Getting started
Can I plan work and personal tasks together?
Yes. Use categories, subcategories, and life areas to organise both in one planner.
Do I need to give every task a time?
No. Capture a task first and add its timing when you’re ready to schedule it.
What happens to unfinished tasks?
They remain visible as overdue. Review them and choose another day when needed.
Can I connect my calendar?
Standard and Premium include one-way sync to a separate Google or Microsoft calendar. GullyHabits doesn’t read existing appointments.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Export your data as JSON from your account settings.
Is the planner free?
Yes. The free plan includes tasks, scheduling, reports, categories, life areas, repeating tasks, and browser reminders. See Pricing for the full comparison.
Planning
Do I need to schedule every task?
No. Add a title first, then choose a date, time, and length when you’re ready.
Does GullyHabits plan my day automatically?
You choose what to do and when. The app shows your planned time and overlaps to help you decide what to adjust.
Organisation
How are categories and life areas different?
Categories describe how you organise tasks. Life areas describe the broader part of life a task belongs to. A client proposal could have a Work category and a Business life area.
What happens if I remove a category?
Its tasks stay in your planner without that category label.
Booking
Will visitors see my task list?
The booking page presents available slots. It doesn’t show visitors your private task list.
Does a private link require visitors to sign in?
The link with an unguessable part limits discoverability. Anyone who receives that link can still use it.
Reports
Is this automatic time tracking?
Reports use the lengths recorded on completed tasks. They don’t measure computer activity or automatically record elapsed working time.
Why does productivity show zero?
Check whether you’ve marked any categories as productive. The figure depends on those choices and the completed work recorded in them.
Patterns & Shifts
Does the app detect patterns for me?
You write the observations yourself. Patterns is a place to record what you notice, rather than an automated analysis of your behaviour.
Do Shifts automatically change my schedule?
No. Shifts records the changes you describe. Make any scheduling adjustments in your planner.
Calendar connections
Is this two-way sync?
No. GullyHabits sends timed tasks to its own calendar. Make task changes in GullyHabits.
Are updates always immediate?
Updates sync in the background. You can check the last sync or use Sync now from the Calendars page.
