Who each one suits

Parchment

  • People who keep events in Apple Calendar and tasks in Apple Reminders
  • Keeping a dated daily note or work log beside the day's agenda
  • Buyers who want to pay once: $4.99 covers iPhone, iPad and Mac

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

Worth knowing

Parchment

  • Apple platforms only: the vendor says it cannot support Android or Windows because it depends on Apple Reminders, Calendar and iCloud.
  • There is no free version or trial listed; the app is a $4.99 paid download.
  • Google or Exchange calendars appear only once the account is set up in Apple Calendar; Parchment does not manage accounts itself.
  • The vendor says it does not integrate with Apple Notes or Obsidian; notes leave the app through export.

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.

Key features

Parchment

One page per day
Calendar events and due or overdue reminders appear above the daily note for that date, so the agenda and the writing share one view.
Apple Reminders and Calendar data
Tasks are Apple Reminders and events come from the system calendar. Completing a task or updating an event in Parchment changes it in Apple's apps too.
Natural-language entry
The agenda's plus button accepts phrases such as "Lunch tomorrow at noon" for an event or "task Submit invoice Friday at 5pm" for a reminder.
Typed and handwritten notes
Daily notes take Markdown headings and lists. On iPad a note can switch to handwriting with Apple Pencil, and those pages stay visible on iPhone and Mac.
Search and version history
One search covers typed notes, recognized handwriting, events and reminders. Each daily note keeps saved versions that can be restored.
Widgets, Shortcuts and export
Home and Lock Screen widgets show the agenda, Shortcuts actions add text or open a date, and the journal exports as TXT, PDF or a Markdown Text Bundle.

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.
