Ancor Planner - iOS Native App

Anchor Planner

Overview

Anchor is a productivity app I designed to simplify daily planning by merging a calendar and a to-do list into a single, fluid interface. The goal: create a time-blocking tool that feels intuitive, tactile, and delightful to use.

Challenge

Most productivity apps are either too complex (filled with features that overwhelm) or too rigid (forcing users into unnatural workflows). I wanted Anchor to offer:
Dual-layered planning (tasks + calendar in sync).
Fluid interactions (gestures, haptics, micro-animations).
A minimal yet warm aesthetic that encourages use daily.

My Role

Product design (UX/UI)
Brand identity
Interaction design (with Rive animations)
Product strategy

Results

1.5k+ waitlist signups before launch.
Over 500k organic social impressions on design previews.
