Worth knowing
Sectograph
- It is not a to-do list. Its Google Play listing describes it as a planner that visualizes what is already on your calendar.
- The Android app is free with in-app purchases the listing does not itemize, while the iOS app costs $3.99 up front.
- Outlook calendar support is labelled beta on Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
- The vendor's website is a single page with store links, so feature and price details come from the store listings.
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.
Key features
Sectograph
- Clock-face timeline

- Reads existing calendars
- On Android it reads Google Calendar and the device's local calendars. Microsoft Outlook calendar support is labelled beta.
