In their own words
Dainvo
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.
TimeFinder
TimeFinder is a personal productivity app for time blocking and daily planning. Users drag tasks from lists into time slots in a split view to build a schedule, then can coordinate it with calendar sync. Task labels retain chosen colors, templates save routines for reuse, and rollover moves unfinished tasks into available time slots. Focus sessions are also included. Optional integrations include Google Tasks, Todoist, TickTick, Zapier, and device calendars. An optional AI Assistant can help with scheduling, task organization, and productivity questions; it sends data to an AI provider only after a user enables it and submits a request. TimeFinder is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The free plan provides core features, and the US App Store lists a Premium Lifetime purchase at $119.99 as a one-time purchase. The US App Store also offers a 7-day trial, with conditions shown before it starts. The maker says users can export data from within the app at any time.
