24Houring free tools guide — every feature, what is free, and what Pro adds

By 24Houring · 2026-10-22

Short answer: 24Houring starts with a circular day planner and adds a calendar, three goal tools (mandal-art, mind maps and a vision house), a life timeline, a map of your people and a map of the places you have been, all in one app. Every tab is free with no sign-up and no ads, and what you write is saved on your own device first. Pro ($0.99 a month or $9.99 a year) only adds extras such as sync across devices and higher limits.

At a glance: free and Pro

As of October 2026. Reaching a limit only stops you adding more; nothing you have written disappears.

Feature by feature

Circular day planner

The starting point: your 24 hours as one clock-like circle. Tap the ring to split blocks and drag boundaries to set times; there are 12-hour day and night views, a record mode for the day you actually had, check-offs and a daily completion rate. Ten templates (office worker, exam prep, night shift and more) get you going. Circle timetable, schedule maker

Diary and notes

Write a short diary entry and stick notes on the timetable screen. The free plan lets you write for dates up to 30 days back, and entries you have written are kept for good. The calendar's one-month view shows each day's entry in its cell.

Calendar

This month and next, side by side. Multi-day plans, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly repeats and saving a month as a PNG are free, with no cap on plans. Decorating with paper, stickers and masking tape, and Google Calendar import, are Pro. Free calendar

D-day counter

Count to an exam, a trip or the day you met as D-12, D-DAY or D+100. Up to five, including the option to count the first day as day 1, are free, and the Android app has a D-day widget that counts on its own. Free D-day counter

Mandal-art

The 81-cell goal chart: one core goal, eight sub-goals, 64 actions. Ticking actions done, sending an action to a calendar date, turning the chart into a mind map and a printable PNG are all free; the free plan holds one chart. Mandal-art

Mind map

Six layouts (right, left, both ways, org chart, radial, outline) and keyboard shortcuts for fast branching. A map holds up to 2,000 branches and can be turned into a mandal-art. Two maps are free, and a map shared in a group is edited together in real time. Free mind map

Vision house

Write your goals into one house: the roof is a ten-year vision, the beams a mission and a three-to-five-year goal, up to five pillars for areas of life, and a foundation of up to six core values. Everything is free, including a seven-second clip of the house being built. It is a written vision board, not a photo collage. Vision house

Life timeline

A birthday alone draws a vertical line, and the moments you have lived and the plans ahead go on it. Put a parent's or a friend's line beside yours and the same year sits at the same height. You can also track metrics such as weight, savings or distance run as lines or bars. Life

Relation map (personal CRM)

A private people map with you in the middle and closeness drawn as distance. What you know about someone, such as contact details or employer, builds up as a history instead of being overwritten; every meeting or call is its own line, and people you have not heard from fade on the map. Nobody is ever notified. Free personal CRM

Experience map (bucket list)

The second menu in the Relation tab places what you have done and what you want to try on a map of five rings and ten areas. Add up to 200 of your own to the 100 starter experiences, and keep a snapshot each year to compare side by side. Free, with no limit. Free bucket list

Place (travel map)

A globe to colour in the countries you have visited or want to visit, and a pin map for spots such as home, school, a favourite restaurant or a trip. A moment on your life line that names a city colours that country on the map, and a pin can name the people who were there. It never collects your location by itself. Free travel map

Pixel pets

Tamagotchi-style pixel pets raised from the egg. Keep up to six of seven kinds; they evolve through play, not time. On a computer they walk across the screen and hop onto widgets. They are 24Houring's own original art, not a Bandai product. Free virtual pet

Widgets and alarms

Inside the app you can float clock, calendar, weather, goals and news widgets; the Android app adds home-screen widgets for the circle planner, calendar, D-days, life, people and places. Alarms when a block starts are free while the app is open; push alarms that arrive with the app closed are Pro.

Also

Your saju Four Pillars, zodiac animal and star sign are free to see. A saju reading written from your records ($3) and a memoir ($5, first page free to try) are one-time purchases separate from the subscription; paying Pro subscribers get one of each free.

Compared with using separate apps

Many people use a planner app for the day, a calendar app for appointments, a mind-map app for goals and a notes app for people. Each of those is deeper in its own field, and that is worth saying. But each comes with its own account, free limits and subscription. As of October 2026, for example, MindMeister's free plan stops at three mind maps, Tiimo's web planner needs a trial or a subscription, and Google Calendar runs on a Google account.

Keeping it in 24Houring changes a few things.

• Your records connect. Actions from a mandal-art or a mind map go to calendar dates, and birthdays from the Relation tab and anniversaries from the Life tab show in the calendar. A city on your life line carries over to the travel map, and people from the relation map can be named on a pin.
• No sign-up, no ads. Every tab opens without an account, and nobody sees ads, free or Pro.
• One subscription. A single Pro plan raises the limits and adds sync across every tab. A Google sign-in gives a 7-day trial with no card, and it does not turn into a charge by itself.
• The same app everywhere. Use it in a computer or phone browser, as a web app installed to the home screen, or as the Android app on Google Play; after the first load it works offline. The app comes in eight languages.
• Your device first. By default nothing is sent to a server, and when you turn on Pro sync you can choose end-to-end encryption.

Where it is honestly weaker

• Each tool is lighter than a specialist app. The mind map has no comments or change history, the calendar does not invite people to each plan, and the personal CRM is not a sales CRM. If you live in one field, that field's specialist app will go further.
• Shared editing is light. A shared group for family, a partner, friends or co-workers (free, sign in with Google) edits mind maps, calendars, vision houses, experience maps and pin maps together in real time. Whoever makes the group invites with a link, and the people invited sign in to join. There are no comments or change history.
• No iPhone app or widget. On an iPhone you use the browser or the home-screen web app; home-screen widgets are Android only.
• On-device storage has limits. Clearing site data or switching devices can lose access to your records; without sync, download the JSON backup now and then. Photos on the Life and Relation tabs never go to the server, even with Pro, so sync does not carry them to another device.
• Decorating is paid. Calendar paper, stickers, masking tape and photo stickers are Pro.
• There is a lot of it. With several tabs, it can take a while to learn where things are. Starting with the one tab you need is enough.

FAQ

Is 24Houring really free?

Yes. Every tab is free with no sign-up and no ads. The free plan has count limits, such as 2 mind maps, 40 people and 50 pins, and Pro ($0.99 a month or $9.99 a year) raises them and adds sync.

Do I lose my records if Pro ends?

No. Limits only stop you adding more; nothing you have written is hidden or deleted. When the 7-day no-card trial ends, you are simply back on the free plan with no charge.

Does it work on an iPhone?

Yes, in the browser or added to the home screen. There is no separate iPhone app or home-screen widget; Android has a Google Play app.

What is the point of having it all in one app?

You can break a goal down in a mandal-art, send its actions to calendar dates, plan those days on the circle, and keep what has happened on the life timeline and the travel map, all in one place. You do not have to manage several accounts and subscriptions.
