Day planner that fits workouts, meals and to-dos around your calendar
Which one is for you
Pick Amie if

- Works for teams that send meeting notes on to Slack, Notion or Linear
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're on Android or want a web app, as neither is listed
- Pricey if you only want a calendar and todo list, at $20 a user a month billed yearly, $25 monthly
- Tight if you need CRM links or custom templates, which need Business at $40 a user
- Not for you if you like a refund as a safety net, since Amie's terms offer none unless the law requires it
- Watch out: the pages disagree on a free tier, and the App Store lists Amie Pro 1 month at $34.99
Pick Daily: Day Planner if
- Fits if you want workouts and meals planned around your meetings
- Works for people who want the day's progress on a watch face
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your phone is older, as the Apple versions need iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 on Apple silicon
- Skip it if you want an App Store install, because Apple builds come through TestFlight and Android through a downloaded APK
- Not for you if you use Windows or a browser, as neither is listed
- Watch out: the roadmap says plans change, so free for everyone is the vendor's current position
- Watch out: weather works from a US ZIP code only
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAmieFair | 3.0GPADaily: Day PlannerVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $20 a user a month billed annually, or $25 month to month, when the middle for a planner here is $5.99 and the dearest tenth starts at $17.29. Meeting notes are part of what you're paying for, but CRM integrations and custom templates still need Business at $40. | AEvery feature is free according to the vendor's roadmap page, with no account, ads or tracking. The category's cheaper quarter starts at $3.99 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe pricing page shows only paid plans with a 7-day trial, and the listing can't say whether a card is needed. Amie's own comparison pages mention a free tier for calendar and todos, but the pricing page doesn't show one, so don't count on it. | ANo paid plan is listed at all, so there is no cap to reach. |
| Features | BBot-free recording on Zoom, Google Meet, Slack huddles and Teams with summaries and action items, a calendar you drag todos onto, AI scheduling, and a chat that drafts emails and schedules tasks. Planner and note-taker in one, with the CRM side held back for Business. | CCalendar-aware planning, to-dos, routines, a journal and a workout week. The listing shows no web version and no way to share lists with anyone. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and before it's useful you're connecting calendars, Gmail and the meeting apps you call on. One part needs no setup: recording a call needs no bot invited to the meeting. | CNo store rating on record, and the Apple versions are installed through TestFlight and Android through an APK, which is more setup than a store install. |
| Platforms and integrations | BMac, Windows and iPhone, so computer and phone are covered, but no Android app and no web app are listed. It works with Google and Apple calendars, Gmail, Notion, Todoist, Slack, Linear and HubSpot, plus an MCP server for Claude or ChatGPT. | BiPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android, with Apple Health, Health Connect, Siri and Gemini. No web or Windows version is listed. |
| Best for | meeting notes, calendar and todos in one app | a day planner with no account on phones and Mac |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
