Lifestack vs Structured

Lifestack

• People who want demanding work scheduled when their focus is highest
• Wearable owners who want sleep and recovery data next to their calendar
• People with ADHD who want structured routines and clear time blocks

Structured

• People who prefer a visual timeline of the day to a plain task list
• Apple users who want one planner on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch
• Buyers who would rather pay once: Pro has a lifetime purchase option

Lifestack

• There is no free plan. Once the 7-day trial on the annual plan ends, a paid subscription is required.
• Only the annual plan includes a trial. The monthly and lifetime plans are charged without one.
• The Chrome extension supports only certain Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar views, such as day and week.
• No Windows app is listed. Lifestack is offered for iPhone, Mac, Android, Chrome and the web.

Structured

• The vendor publishes no price list. Pro pricing depends on region and currency and is shown in the app or app store.
• Recurring tasks, calendar import, Reminders import, Replan and Structured AI all require Structured Pro.
• There is no Windows app. Structured Web runs in a browser but does not yet have every feature of the mobile apps.
• Structured Web needs an internet connection and a Structured Cloud sync account.

Lifestack

Energy Zones

Predicts high and low energy periods through the day from sleep and health data, so demanding work can be lined up with the peaks.

Plan My Day

Schedules the day's to-dos, routines, meals and rest onto the calendar in one step, turning a task list into time blocks.

Chat with Lifestack

An AI assistant you can ask to build a plan for the day or week or to set up routines. The vendor describes it as a round-the-clock copilot for daily decisions.

Wearable and health data

Connects to Apple Health and wearables including Oura, WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch and Fitbit. Without one, it can use an iPhone sleep schedule, Google Fit or Samsung Health.

Calendar and task integrations

Brings several calendars into one view and integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, Todoist and Trello. Calendar events are labelled by type automatically.

Chrome extension and Apple Watch

The Chrome extension overlays energy levels on Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, and the Apple Watch app shows energy, calendar and to-dos.

Structured

Visual timeline

Tasks and imported calendar events appear on one timeline for the day, with daily, weekly and monthly views and color coding.

Inbox, subtasks and notes

Tasks can wait in an inbox until they are scheduled, and carry subtasks, notes, icons and notifications. All of this is in the free version.

Calendar and Reminders import

Brings in events from Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook and to-do lists from Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do. Requires Structured Pro.

Recurring tasks and Replan

Repeat tasks on a schedule, and use Replan to move missed tasks onto another day. Both are Pro features.

Structured AI

Drafts a daily schedule and can scan a physical planner or timetable into the timeline. Requires Structured Pro.

Sync across devices

Structured Cloud sync shares data and Pro access between Apple devices, Android and the web app, and the Apple Watch app shows the schedule on your wrist.
