Planner puts your inputs on the left and the answer on the right. It comes with Pro.

Save a plan, share a copy, know the difference

Choose between a plan in this browser, a share link, and an explicit cloud copy.

Local saves belong to this browser. A share link carries the plan’s inputs. Cloud upload and download are explicit actions where available; they are not a promise of continuous synchronization.

Save to revisit inputs, share a link to pass them on, or export dates as an ICS snapshot. These are separate actions, not continuous synchronization.

Choose the right kind of handoff

Saving, sharing, and exporting solve different problems. Pick the action that matches whether you want to return to the inputs, let someone else inspect them, or place dates on a calendar.

Choose the right kind of handoff: reference
ActionWhat to expect
Save locallyA plan retained in this browser, subject to its storage and current save limit
ShareA link that carries inputs for someone else to open
Upload / download a cloud copyAn explicit account action, when available
Export calendarA separate file with dates; not an editable saved-plan record

Make sure the plan really saved

Save from a valid result, give it a recognizable name where offered, then open Saved and reopen the plan. Check the restored inputs and result instead of relying only on a success notice.

Browser storage can be cleared, unavailable, or separate between profiles and devices. Current guest, account, and Pro limits are shown by the product; review Account or Pro for the current policy rather than assuming unlimited storage.

Review the link before sending it

A share link can contain dates, selections, and custom inputs. Anyone with the link may be able to inspect those inputs. Do not put private descriptions into a plan you intend to share.

Opening the link recalculates against the data available to the recipient. If schedules have changed, the answer can differ from an earlier screenshot. Send context such as the source date when that distinction matters.

Move copies deliberately

If cloud copies are available for your account, upload or download through the displayed controls. Confirm which version you are moving. Editing a local plan is not an automatic update of every copy or previously exported file.

If a save or upload fails, keep the inputs open, read the error, and retry only after resolving it. Do not assume another device received the plan until you can open the expected copy.

Questions, answered

Will a local save appear on my phone?

Not automatically. Local saves are browser-specific. Use a share link or an explicit cloud-copy action where available, then verify the result on the other device.

Will changing my plan update an old shared link?

Create a fresh link after changing the inputs. An earlier link represents the inputs it carried when it was created.
