Worth knowing
Arcush
- iPhone only, on iOS 16 and above. The vendor says iPad, Mac and Apple Watch versions are planned and an Android app is not.
- Calendar sync, blocking off time in calendars, color customization and recurring tasks all require Arcush PRO.
- Calendar events can be edited in Arcush but not created there.
- The About page says the app is built by three developers in their spare time.
Sectograph
- It is not a to-do list. Its Google Play listing describes it as a planner that visualizes what is already on your calendar.
- The Android app is free with in-app purchases the listing does not itemize, while the iOS app costs $3.99 up front.
- Outlook calendar support is labelled beta on Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
- The vendor's website is a single page with store links, so feature and price details come from the store listings.
Key features
Arcush
- Daily timeline
- Tasks sit as blocks on a timeline of the day, following the time-blocking technique, with a calendar view for planning hour by hour.
- Inbox with automatic clearing
- Ideas go into an Inbox to be scheduled later. Tasks that never get scheduled are cleared out automatically, and overdue ones can be brought back.
- Calendar sync
- With PRO, any calendar added to the iPhone's accounts can be synced. Synced events can be edited in Arcush, but new calendar events cannot be created there.
- Blocked-off focus time
- With PRO, a time slot can be reserved in a work calendar so that other people see it as taken.
- Recurring tasks and colors
- PRO adds daily, weekly and monthly repeats, plus color-coding for tasks and a choice of app colors.
- Quick add, widgets and notifications
- All task settings are on one screen, tasks can be added from a Home Screen widget, and alerts cover upcoming and overdue tasks.
Sectograph
- Clock-face timeline
- The day is drawn as a 12-hour dial, or 24-hour if you prefer, with each event placed at the hours it happens and sized to its duration.
- Free time and countdowns
- Sectograph calculates the gaps between events and the time from now until the next one, and updates the view as time passes.
- Reads existing calendars
- On Android it reads Google Calendar and the device's local calendars. Microsoft Outlook calendar support is labelled beta.
- Home screen widget
- A widget keeps the dial on the home screen, refreshing once a minute. Tapping a sector opens event details and quick actions.
- Wear OS support
- The Android version includes a watch app with an interactive widget, a tile, a large complication and a separately installed watch face.
- Zoom and grid views
- Options on Android include a 24-hour mode, zooming the dial to between 1 and 12 hours, and month and day grid views.
