FlowSavvy vs Temporal

FlowSavvy

• Individuals who want tasks placed on the calendar without manual time blocking
• Deadline-driven workloads that shift often during the week
• People who already keep events in Google, Outlook.com or iCloud calendars

Temporal

• Google Calendar users who want tasks placed into protected focus blocks
• People who want to approve each AI scheduling change before it is applied
• Individuals looking for an AI scheduler at $9 a month or less

FlowSavvy

• Basic schedules only 2 weeks ahead and is limited to 3 repeating auto-scheduled tasks, 5 task lists and 1 set of scheduling hours.
• Priority levels, task dependencies, syncing tasks out to other calendars, and the API, MCP and Zapier integrations all require Pro.
• There is no native desktop app. On a computer it runs in the browser or as an installed progressive web app.
• The vendor aims it at individuals and does not offer team or enterprise features.

Temporal

• The site describes a web app and lists no desktop or mobile apps.
• Google Calendar is the only calendar it syncs with today; Outlook is marked as coming soon.
• There is no free plan: after the 7-day trial, scheduling automation pauses until a paid plan is chosen.
• The terms of service license Temporal for personal, non-commercial use.

FlowSavvy

Auto-scheduling

Places tasks into open time on the calendar based on due dates and durations, and can split a task around events. Basic plans 2 weeks ahead and Pro 8 weeks.

Automatic rescheduling

The schedule is rebuilt whenever an event or task changes, and a Recalculate button puts missed tasks back on the calendar. Reschedules are unlimited on both plans.

Scheduling hours

Sets of hours such as work or personal define when tasks may be scheduled. Basic includes one set; Pro allows unlimited profiles.

Calendar sync

Two-way sync with Google Calendar, Outlook.com and iCloud on both plans. Writing FlowSavvy tasks back to those calendars is a Pro feature.

Priorities and dependencies

Pro adds priority levels and dependency chains for tasks that must follow an order. On the free plan, tasks are prioritized by due date.

Task app sync, API and MCP

Syncs tasks with Todoist, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminders. A public API, an MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude, and Zapier are Pro-only.

Temporal

Focus-aware scheduling

The AI reads where meetings cluster and where the week is open, then places deep-work tasks in the hours it identifies as your focus windows.

OFF, SUGGEST and AUTO modes

Schedule everything by hand, have the AI propose changes that you accept or skip one by one, or let it schedule automatically. SUGGEST is the default.

AI chat

A chat that can see the calendar and task list takes requests in plain language, such as moving a review to Thursday or fitting a set of tasks around meetings.

Google Calendar sync

Sync runs both ways: existing meetings are imported and respected during scheduling, and tasks Temporal schedules appear as events in Google Calendar.

Adaptive rescheduling

When priorities change during the week, the schedule is adjusted automatically rather than replanned by hand.

Linear and Notion connections

Linear and Notion are listed as available integrations, and the FAQ says tasks can be brought in from Notion. Outlook, Slack, GitHub and Todoist are marked as coming soon.
