Arcush vs SkedPal

Arcush is an iPhone daily planner built around time blocking. It organizes tasks, ideas, and a day schedule on a timeline, with a calendar view for hour-by-hour planning. The Inbox gives unlimited space for ideas and removes tasks that remain unscheduled. You can add and edit tasks, including recurring tasks with different frequencies. A widget starts task creation, while notifications cover upcoming or overdue tasks. Core task creation and schedule management are available on the Free plan at free. Arcush Pro adds calendar synchronization, calendar time blocking, color customization, and recurring tasks; the monthly plan is $3.99 a month. Pro syncs calendars added in iPhone settings and allows synchronized events to be edited, but cannot create new calendar events. Arcush supports iPhones running iOS 16 or later, not Android or other Apple devices.

SkedPal turns a to-do list into a time-blocked schedule shaped by priorities, available time, and calendar events. Its planning tools include an Outline for organizing tasks, a Board for prioritizing them, and a Calendar for placing work at preferred times. A Status Tracker follows current activity while the schedule adapts to changes. Calendar sync supports Google, Office 365, and iCloud; Core allows one account, while Pro allows unlimited accounts. Asana task titles, descriptions, and due dates sync both ways, although schedules made in SkedPal do not sync with Asana. Zapier connects it with apps such as Google Sheets, Slack, Trello, and Airtable. Users can email tasks to a dedicated address, but attachments larger than 2 MB are not received. Planning is mainly done in the web app; mobile apps are available for iOS and Android, and Status Tracker desktop apps are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Core costs $9.95 a month billed annually; Pro costs $14.95 a month billed annually. There is a 14-day trial and no free plan.
