dayGLANCE vs SuperPlanner

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.

SuperPlanner is a visual day planner and task manager for iOS and macOS. It uses time blocking to place activities and tasks on a timeline, with events from calendars already on the device shown alongside planned activities. Activities can have custom repetition rules, different times on different days, notifications, icons and colors. Tasks support priorities, lists, reminders, notes, images, tags and colors, and can be linked to activities or calendar events. A horizontal Day Summary displays current events, overdue items, anytime tasks and what comes next; overdue items can be moved to today, tomorrow, the next weekday or their next occurrence. The Mac app adds a menu bar Command Bar and global shortcut to search tasks, run commands or capture a task from another app. Widgets, Do Next suggestions and Live Activities on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen are also available. No sign-up is required. The maker says app data is stored locally and in the user’s private iCloud account, while anonymous crash, performance and analytics data is gathered. The free plan has limited features; Pro Monthly is $4.99 a month with a three-day free trial.
