A calm daily planner over your own Org files.
Plan the day, focus on one task, and keep everything in plain text you can also edit in Emacs. No account, no server.

Your week, on one screen.
Day columns or a calendar from one day to a month. Drag tasks between days and onto time slots, and stretch a block to change how long it takes. Your Google and Outlook events sit beside them.
Year goals, worked a week at a time.
Quarter goals with steps, habits and a weekly time budget. Habits put their days on your week, and Progress shows whether each goal is ahead, on pace or behind.
One task at a time.
A stopwatch or pomodoro rounds, the task's subtasks and its notes. Every stretch is logged as an Org clock entry, and can set your Teams status while you work.
Org files are the source of truth.
Each file is a channel. Edit in Emacs and Samaya shows it straight away; Samaya changes only the parts of a file it understands, and never overwrites your edits.
