Peaches

Peaches is an AI to-do list and daily planner for iPhone and iPad, made by Badih Merheg, for people with a lot on their mind. Instead of typing tasks and dragging them into place, a user speaks or types plans for the day, and Peaches turns them into a task list that puts the non-negotiable items first. The app combines task planning with a focus timer, goals, a journal and reminders.

With the Magic Generator, a user dictates or types a description of the day, such as a call at a set time, a gym visit and an errand, and the AI picks out each task, its time, its category and what cannot wait, then creates, prioritizes and schedules the tasks. One-tap prompts such as plan my week, break this into steps and prioritize my day reshape the list, and the generator works in the user's language.

Each day the user picks 3 non-negotiable tasks to protect, while flexible tasks fill the rest of the day and Up Next shows what to do now. A Pomodoro-style focus timer with rain, café and brown noise sounds starts from any task. Weekly, monthly and yearly goals update as linked tasks are done, a mood journal gets a weekly AI recap, and streaks, completion rates and peak hours show how the user works.

Peaches is free to download, with Peaches Premium sold as in-app purchases that include monthly options at $4.99 and $7.99 and a yearly plan at $39.99 with a 1-week free trial. Premium adds unlimited Magic Generator use, advanced analytics, personal AI insights, long-term goals and journal recaps. The app has 4 themes, syncs with the user's account, requires iOS 17.0 or iPadOS 17.0 or later, and is available in six languages.
