How to join and install the Plany Timeline beta on Android

Plany Timeline is our biggest leap forward in AI-powered productivity, and it is rolling out through Google Play's official testing program. Here is the 3-step guide to becoming a beta tester and unlocking the new AI features today.

Before you start

To ensure absolute stability, the Plany Timeline beta is distributed via Google Play's official testing program. The whole process takes about two minutes and only needs to be done once.

Step 1: Join the Google Group (access authorization)

Your email must be registered on our authorization list first, otherwise the app will not be visible on the Play Store. To begin, join our official Google Group: Join the Plany Timeline Google Group

  • Option B (direct link): head straight to the app listing here: Download Plany Timeline on Google Play

FAQ

Is the Plany Timeline beta free?

Yes. Joining the Google Group and the Play Store testing program is completely free.

Why can't I find Plany Timeline on the Play Store?

The beta build is only visible to authorized testers. Make sure you have joined the Google Group (Step 1) and opted in on the testing portal (Step 2) with the same Gmail account you use on the Play Store.

How long does it take for access to activate?

Usually instantly, but Google can take 2–5 minutes to sync your tester status. If the app still does not appear, refresh the page or reopen the Play Store.

How do I leave the beta program?

Open the testing portal link again and choose “Leave the program”. You can then uninstall the beta build and reinstall the public version from the Play Store.
