dayGLANCE vs TimeHero

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.
