Is Owaves a good planner app?
For people who think in pictures, many reviewers say yes: 4.6 out of 5 from about 1.8K US ratings, as of October 2026, though most reviews posted since October 2025 are critical (see below). Owaves draws all 24 hours as one circle, My BodyClock, with each activity colored by category: Sleep, Move, Eat, Work, Relax, Love, Play and Flow.
Below are six US reviews from July 2024 to February 2026, grouped by theme and quoted exactly as written, typos included, then what reviewers criticize and ask for, and where each request stands, based only on the App Store listing and owaves.com.
What do reviewers say about seeing the whole day as a circle?
They say it changes how they plan: a 24-hour circle makes a day’s limits visible. One reviewer used to keep their schedule in their head:
For the longest time, I just kept my “schedule” in my head. After using this app, I’ve gotten the skills to actually plan out bigger tasks and break them up into smaller achievable ones. It really helps me realistically set goals for my days! Love it
— App Store review · US, Great for helping organize my days, 28 January 2025
The App Store listing describes My BodyClock as 24 hours at a glance in a 360° circular view. Because sleep sits on the same circle as work, an overfull plan shows up as a crowded circle before it becomes a late night. For a step-by-step version, see How to Make a Daily Schedule for College.
Does Owaves remind you to move, relax and see family?
Yes, says the reviewer who called it a mindful calendar: appointments share the circle with movement, rest and people.
I love that Owaves helps me remember my appointments but it also reminds me to get up and move, spend time family and friends and relax.
— App Store review · US, Mindful calendar, 17 February 2026
The categories do that work: an appointment is Work, a walk is Move, family dinner is Love, a book is Relax. A day with no orange (Move) or red (Love) is easy to spot. For the evidence on timing those blocks, see our posts on the best time to exercise and the best time to eat dinner.
Is Owaves good for ADHD?
Reviewers with ADHD say the visual layout helps them see the day and keeps planning fun:
i’ve been using owaves for years. as someone who is adhd it helps so much with not only being able to visualize my day but also having fun doing it:)
— App Store review · US, i love owaves, 6 October 2024
The listing pitches the circle at people who struggle with time blindness; that describes the design, not a treatment. In a 2020 partnered video, Jessica of How to ADHD said Owaves doesn’t look like a calendar, which her brain likes, and that she used it to fill in the big rocks of her day (How to ADHD’s Owaves Review).
Does Owaves help with circadian rhythm?
Partly, and reviewers want more of it. This reviewer asked for two things:
One of the best apps on my phone. Excellent day planner, very original. … Would love more guidance on circadian rhythm. Would also like to connect My Moai with Android users.
— App Store review · US, Perfect for circadian rhythm management, 24 December 2024
Per the App Store listing and release notes, as of October 2026: the Owaves 8.0 release (August 2026) added an onboarding chat that reads your body clock and shapes an ideal day around it. The app also shows a BodyClock Score for how well a day lines up with your natural rhythm. BodyClock Plus adds daily recommendations for Deep Sleep, Deep Work, Peak Fitness and Eating Windows. The free five-question Body Clock Quiz finds your Body Clock Type, and How to Fix Your Sleep Schedule turns the science into steps.
What do users want Owaves to change?
We tell the truth, so here is the criticism and the requests that come up, and where each stands as of October 2026.
Paid features and glitches. Of the 11 US reviews in the App Store’s public reviews feed from October 2025 to October 2026, eight give one to three stars. Long-time users write that features they once used for free, such as saving more day plans and customizing, now need BodyClock Plus; others report glitches when editing the day, and a few object to the app’s AI features. The listing says the app is free to download and use, and that Plus removes limits with custom categories and unlimited Day Plans and Goals. Owaves’ release notes say version 8.0 (August 2026) rebuilt how the app loads and saves a day and fixed the biggest causes of freezing.
A one-time purchase. A reviewer who loves the color-coded view asked for a lifetime option:
I just got this app, recommended to me by a friend, and I love it! It lets me visualize my everyday schedule, and with color coding too! I just wish the pro version was a one time purchase rather than a subscription- or at least had a one time purchase option (maybe like 25-30 dollars?)
Honestly I love this app, I just want more options and the only way to do that is through the pro.
— App Store review · US, Amazing app, could be a bit better, 29 March 2025
The listing shows two subscriptions, BodyClock Plus Monthly ($12.99) and BodyClock Plus Yearly ($99.99), each with a free trial. No one-time purchase is listed.
A second ring for what you actually did.
Love this app, I recommend it to everyone, but I would like to suggest that you add another ring around the planner to add what you actually did that day.
It would be helpful to track and compare how the day actually goes.— App Store review · US, Suggestion…, 21 July 2024
A second ring is not among the features on the listing. What exists: the free app connects to Apple Health to compare planned versus actual activities, and Rate My Day lets you rate a day Gold, Silver or Bronze.
My Moai with Android friends. My Moai, the peer support group, is free for all users, but Owaves runs only on Apple devices, so friends on Android can’t join yet. Owaves says its Android app is coming; Android users can join the waitlist and beta at owaves.com/android.
| What reviewers ask for | Where it stands (as of October 2026) |
|---|---|
| One-time purchase | Not listed; BodyClock Plus is $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year |
| A ring for what actually happened | Not a listed feature; the free app connects to Apple Health to compare planned versus actual |
| More circadian guidance | Onboarding chat, BodyClock Score; BodyClock Plus recommendations |
| My Moai with Android users | Android app coming, per Owaves; waitlist and beta sign-up open |
Your day on My BodyClock
The day above on My BodyClock is shaped like the mindful-calendar review: appointments in the middle, with movement, family, friends and rest planned in, not left over. Sleep runs 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM; a morning walk and breakfast come before Work, with a short Move break after lunch. Errands are Flow. Late afternoon is family (Love), then a home-cooked dinner, a call with friends and a Relax block with a book.
To build your own, take the Body Clock Quiz, then download Owaves on iOS or join the Android waitlist. Tap to add each activity and look for the colors your day is missing.
