Moleskine Planner vs TimeBloc

Moleskine Planner

• People who want a paper-planner look on iPhone, iPad and Mac
• Seeing calendar events and timed tasks on one daily timeline
• Sorting tasks into themed lists with icons and colors

TimeBloc

• People who plan a day as back-to-back time blocks on their phone
• Daily routines that should fill into the schedule on their own
• iPhone users who want the next block on the Home or Lock Screen

Moleskine Planner

• Apple platforms only: the App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro, and the vendor links no Android or web version.
• Neither the App Store listing nor the vendor's site says which features are free and which need a paid membership.
• The vendor's site publishes no prices; the figures here are in-app purchase amounts from the US App Store.
• The app requires iOS 17, iPadOS 17 or macOS 14 or later.

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.

Moleskine Planner

Day view timeline

Each day's schedule and tasks are laid out visually, with a choice of Block View or Timeline View. A time slider moves a task or changes its duration.

Weekly overview

A week view shows all appointments and tasks for the week, and a long press on a day opens the task editor with that date already set.

Calendar integration

Calendars are chosen with checkboxes in the settings menu, and their events are displayed in the planner beside your tasks.

Customizable tasks

Tasks take icons, colors, subtasks and notes and can be marked complete. Subtasks can be shown and ticked off without opening the task.

Lists

Related tasks are grouped by topic into lists, which show how many days remain until future tasks are due and a completed count.

Rescheduling and duplicating

A long press moves a task to another date, and an activity can be copied and duplicated onto a different date and time.

TimeBloc

Timelines

Split the day into blocks by the hour or the minute, mark them with icons and colored tags, and reschedule a block by dragging it along the timeline.

Routines

Plan a routine once and TimeBloc places it into the timeline for you. Unlimited routines are a Premium feature.

Calendar integration

Events from your existing calendars can be brought into the day's plan. Unlimited calendars are a Premium feature.

Widgets

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets on iPhone show the next block without opening the app.

Notifications

The app can send a notification for every event. Advanced notifications are listed as a Premium feature.
