Worth knowing
Arcush

- 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.
TimeBloc
- Phone app only: the listings cover iPhone and Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
- Unlimited routines, unlimited calendars, advanced notifications and statistics all require TimeBloc Premium.
- The website has no price list. The US App Store shows several Premium price points and labels the term for only one of them.
- The Google Play listing shows the Android app was last updated on Sep 23, 2025.
