dayGLANCE vs SkedPal

dayGLANCE is a day planner built around a 24-hour drag-and-drop timeline for time-blocking. Schedule tasks on the timeline or keep unscheduled items in an inbox; the app also includes habits, recurring tasks, focus sessions, and calendar sync. The hosted web app requires no account and stores data locally in the browser by default. It works offline, with optional cloud sync for backup and access across devices. Calendar features include importing calendars and two-way task syncing with CalDAV lists. Tasks and notes can also sync through a user’s own Nextcloud or WebDAV server, and an Obsidian integration can read and write vault tasks and daily notes. dayGLANCE runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, and can be self-hosted as a Docker image. The Android app adds a home-screen widget, background notifications, and optional Health Connect integration. Optional AI features use the user’s own API key. The software is MIT-licensed. The web app is free at free; dayGLANCE Pro is paid through the App Store, with no price listed.

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.
