LiveIt vs Timestripe

LiveIt

• People who want planner, journal, notes and habits in one personal app
• Planning without a connection: it is built to work fully offline
• Buyers on a small budget, with Pro at $19.99 a year

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

LiveIt

• End-to-end encryption, the built-in timer, video attachments, subtasks and the task backlog are Pro features.
• Text data is stored on the vendor's server for syncing; files and media use your own Google Drive or iCloud storage, which sets the attachment limit.
• It is designed for individuals, not teams: there is no family plan and each person needs their own account.
• There is no Linux app; the vendor points Linux users to the web version.

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.

LiveIt

Planner with time blocks and day themes

Named blocks such as Morning or Deep Work hold reminders, habits and calendar sessions, and a day theme like Work Day applies a preset set of blocks.

Tasks, goals and schedulers

Tasks move through a five-stage workflow. Attaching a scheduler to a task or goal creates its recurring calendar sessions in the planner automatically.

Habits and trackers

Habits appear in the daily plan with per-day targets, up to 10 slots per reminder, streaks and KPIs, and can be linked to the goals they serve.

Journal and timeline

Journal entries take photos and mood tracking, and completed tasks, habits and entries flow into one chronological timeline for review.

Linked notes

Text, outline and collection notes, plus a whiteboard canvas, share bi-directional links with the rest of the app and one cross-content search.

Offline-first with optional encryption

Every platform works without a connection and syncs when back online. End-to-end encryption can be switched on with Pro.

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.
