DayWise vs General Bots Calendar

DayWise is an Android daily planner that schedules tasks around a calendar and adjusts the plan when commitments change. Its scheduling considers task priority, deadlines, calendar events, and energy patterns to find time slots. Google Calendar connects directly, and the app plans around existing events. Users can also drag tasks to another slot, change their duration, or move them to tomorrow. DayWise is designed for individuals, including students, freelancers, and professionals, and is available through Google Play for Android 8.0 and later. The Free plan costs nothing and includes manual scheduling and core task management; a 7-day trial is listed. The privacy policy says task information is sent to third-party AI services, including OpenAI, for scheduling suggestions, and is not used to train third-party models under its agreements. Google Calendar events are accessed read-only and are not stored beyond scheduling needs. DayWise also says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and does not sell personal information.

General Bots Calendar is a self-hosted team calendar for scheduling events, reminders and tasks. Users can request meetings, calls or reminders in natural language; invitations are sent automatically, and an availability endpoint can suggest open booking slots. The calendar has day, week, month and agenda views, mini-calendar navigation and keyboard shortcuts. It supports all-day and recurring events, personal reminders with lead time, and multiple calendars. Tasks with due dates appear alongside events, and completing a task updates its status on the calendar. REST endpoints cover event creation, reading, updating and deletion, plus free/busy checks. Calendar sync includes CalDAV servers. The calendar runs on customer-owned infrastructure and keeps data on the customer’s hardware; the full source is available under AGPLv3. Deployment is described as a self-contained Docker setup on a VM or bare metal. The Self-Hosted plan costs nothing, with unlimited users and operations and no per-user licensing fees.
