Brite vs Timestripe

Brite

• People who want tasks, calendar, habits and notes in one app
• Tracking habits, goals and mood alongside a daily schedule
• Users who move between a phone, a desktop app and the web

Timestripe

• People who want daily tasks tied to quarterly, yearly and life goals
• Small teams planning shared goals with assignees and comments
• Anyone who likes guided step-by-step programs for a new goal

Brite

• The free plan is capped at 3 habits, 3 goals, 5 projects and 3 task reminders, with schedule and day calendar views only.
• Google Calendar and Apple Calendar sync, week and month views, kanban view, file uploads and backups all need Premium.
• The US App Store lists different in-app prices from the website, such as $5.99 for 1 month and $39.99 for 1 year, plus a separate $39.99 purchase named AI Features for 1 Year.
• The Teams page quotes $4 per user / month for teams of 5 or more and free use below that, a price the pricing page itself does not list.

Timestripe

• The free Basic plan stops at 5 goals per horizon, 10 per board list, 3 custom boards and 1 Climb at a time.
• Monthly billing costs $19 a month, more than double the $9 a month charged on the yearly plan.
• No native desktop app is listed. Timestripe runs on the web, iOS and Android, plus a Chrome extension.
• The US App Store lists Pro at $19.99 monthly and $99.99 annually, so in-app prices differ slightly from the website.

Brite

Tasks and projects

Separate personal and work task widgets with reminders, subtasks, tags and due dates. Projects group tasks, and Premium adds a kanban view and file uploads.

Calendar views and sync

Schedule and day views are free. Week and month views, recurring events and sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar are Premium features.

Habit and goal trackers

The habit tracker comes with more than 80 preset habits and shows streaks. Goals can be set by day, week, month or year. The free plan allows 3 of each.

Mood diary and guided meditations

The mood diary records how you feel and why, with statistics over time. Free accounts get 1 mood entry and 1 guided meditation a week.

Quick Add

A task typed in plain language with its date and time, such as a call tomorrow at 5pm, is placed on the calendar.

Pomodoro timer

A focus timer for 25-minute work sprints with built-in breaks. The comparison table marks it as limited on the free plan.

Timestripe

Horizons

Connected planning views for days, weeks, months, quarters, years and beyond. Big goals sit on longer horizons and are broken into milestones that reach the daily view.

Goals with notes and subgoals

A task, event, project or note is the same kind of object. Each can take a date, an owner, subgoals, tags, files and rich-text notes with embedded content.

Boards

Kanban-style boards hold anything without a date yet, such as backlogs and ideas. Board items can be linked to the planner or scheduled onto Horizons.

Calendar and time blocking

The day's to-do list can be laid out in calendar form to estimate the time each goal needs. The pricing page lists Apple and Google calendar integration.

Climbs

Ready-made step-by-step sequences of goals, with more than 100 guides on topics such as health, fitness and productivity. Basic allows one Climb at a time.

Team spaces, API and CLI

Spaces, a team view, assignees, mentions and comments are on both plans. A public API and a command-line client let scripts and AI agents read and write the plan.
