We build tools
so that you have time for what matters in your life.
weekview is more than a calendar. It is a planning system that helps people shape their lives deliberately — week by week, quarter by quarter. Out of conviction. Since 2009.
Every week counts. Every single one.
We believe that every human life is precious beyond replacing. Every minute, every week. That is exactly why we develop tools that create clarity — not more apps to distract you, but planners that focus you.
Our concepts draw on wisdom thousands of years old: the rhythm of the 7-day week, the idea of deliberate rest, the power of honest reflection. What has held up over millennia still works today — perhaps today more than ever.
It is the week — and the quarter — that really count."
That conviction carries every product we make.
It began with a question:
„How do I plan my time better?"
In 2010 Nikolaus Obersteiner set out to design a calendar for himself. Nothing on the market matched the way he thought, in weeks and quarters. Today, 15 years on, that has grown into weekview — a brand that supports tens of thousands of people in their planning.
The first planner
Nikolaus develops his first weekly planner — for himself. Out of necessity, not out of a business idea.
First customers
A personal tool turns into a small publishing house. The EPTW system takes shape.
Bestseller several times over
weekview becomes an Amazon bestseller. Thousands of self-employed people plan with our tools.
A complete system
From the book calendar and the wall planner to the Digital Planner: one carefully thought-through ecosystem.
Recognise. Plan.
Do. Take root.
Behind weekview sits the EPTW system — four phases, one cycle. It combines clarity about what matters with consistent follow-through and honest reflection. Every week. Every quarter. Every year.
That thinking runs through every one of our products: from the compact pocket planner to the large-format wall planner. Whichever you choose — you plan by the same system we use ourselves every day.
Three values you can
hold us to.
Not marketing speak. The things you will recognise us by.
Substance over trend
We develop tools you will want to use for years — not seasonal goods. What we bring to market is thought through, tested and built to last.
Clarity instead of complexity
A planner should order your thinking, not get in its way. So we cut back radically: only what genuinely helps. The rest would be a distraction.
People over machines
We believe in paper, pen and the deliberate moment. Digital where it helps. Analogue where it holds. But always with the person at the centre — not the algorithm.
„Every minute of your life
is precious — and never comes back.“
That conviction is where weekview came from: the wish to see what truly matters in life — and to put it into practice day to day.
People who have their lives in view: who know their personal calling and direct their energy deliberately. Above all, those who feel short on structure and courage should be able to grow beyond themselves. And teams experience the rhythm of the week as a driver of performance — and at the same time as protection against burnout.
To build the weekview concept into a time planning system that everyone can understand and use — more time for what matters, for everyone. We give the day of rest a special place in it: the week ends and begins with rest and reflection. So it is not work that governs your life, but the still point.
weekview has changed our own lives — more deliberate, clearer, less stressful. That is why we stay learners: we listen closely when customers share suggestions or criticism, and we build planners that work for everyone — not just for time management professionals.
We were the first company in the world to make the move from the day- and month-oriented calendar to a week-oriented time planning system — inspired by principles from the oldest book of wisdom in the world, in which the 7-day week and the day of rest hold a prominent place.
