Dainvo vs TimeBloc

Dainvo is a local-first planning workspace for calendars, tasks, projects, meetings, notes, and focused work. Its calendar offers day, week, month, year, and list views, plus weather and time zones. Calendar connections include Google, Outlook, Apple, CalDAV, and Dainvo calendars; task connections include Todoist, Microsoft To Do, Google Tasks, TickTick, monday.com, and Obsidian. Users can schedule tasks, group them into Buckets, and plan work sessions for Projects. Projects can contain ordered tasks, a deadline, one level of subprojects, notes, file links, and multiple calendar blocks. Meeting links support Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams. Connected calendar events and tasks sync with their providers, while Project Notes and local file links stay on the user’s computer. The encrypted local SQLite store uses a key protected by operating-system secure storage. Dainvo has a Free plan and Pro plans at $5 a month or $48 a year. Its Android, iPhone, and iPad apps are listed as Early Access.

TimeBloc is a time-blocking app for arranging a day around tasks and events. Users can divide the day into multiple blocks, personalize the timeline, and set up routines to appear in that timeline. The app supports calendar sync and recurring tasks; existing calendar events can be incorporated into plans, and notifications can remind users about events. It is available on Android and iOS, with a dark mode and customization options. The free download has in-app purchases, while premium features include unlimited routines and calendars, advanced notifications, and statistics. Listed purchase options are Growth Bundle: Monthly at $4.99 a month, Lifetime Membership at $19.99, paid once, and Growth Bundle: Yearly at $99.99 a year. The terms describe premium access through monthly or annual subscriptions or, from time to time, one-time purchases, and state that sales are final and refunds are not offered. The service is for personal, non-commercial use and is offered to users aged 13 or older. Its privacy policy says support email addresses are collected when users contact support and personal information entered in the app is not sold or transferred to outside parties.
