Altitask vs Power Planner

Altitask is a student planning workspace that turns course materials, lectures, and meetings into transcripts, summaries, tasks, projects, study plans, and calendar events. Students can import university calendars through ICS, schedule recurring classes, and create dated assignment tasks by uploading or pasting a.txt or.docx syllabus. Recorded lectures in.mp3,.wav,.m4a, or.mp4 format, up to 200 MB, become transcripts and summaries. The workspace includes tasks, projects, a calendar, TipTap rich-text notes, public-submission forms, and a kanban board. Its free plan includes 3 Altitasks, 25 tasks, 5 projects, 5 notes, and 5 forms, with unlimited calendar events. Pro costs $6.99 a month; Plus costs $9.99 a month and includes more monthly AI compute. An extra owned workspace costs $3.99 a month. Altitask says its self-hosted dww-farmer-v1 model handles summaries, task generation, and its 37-tool assistant, while transcription uses faster-whisper on its server. It says audio and notes stay on its own stack rather than being sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Groq.

Power Planner is a student homework planner that syncs assignments, class schedules, grades, and GPA across devices. Students can enter homework and exams with due dates and receive automatic reminders, then add class times and room locations to view a weekly schedule. The app tracks grades by class, calculates GPA across semesters, and includes a “What If?” mode for planning ahead. Classes and homework can appear in Google Calendar. It supports standard and rotating A/B week schedules, but not fully custom non-A/B class schedules; the maker also says there is no Canvas or Blackboard integration. The Free plan costs nothing and is limited to one semester, five grades per class, one repeating bulk task or event entry, and one photo attachment per item. Premium is a one-time lifetime purchase listed at $4.99 a month, with unlimited semesters and more than five grades per class. Power Planner is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and web browsers, with web marked beta. An online account is optional; local-account data stays on the device.
