Sectograph vs Weel

Sectograph

• People who read an analog clock faster than a list of events
• Android users who want their schedule on a widget or Wear OS watch
• Seeing free time between meetings and the time left in the current one

Weel

• People with ADHD or time blindness who want the whole day in one image
• Scheduling calls and travel across several time zones
• iPhone and Apple Watch users who already keep events in Apple Calendar

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.

Weel

• It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only; Android is a sign-up list with no release date given.
• Multiple calendars and repeating events are Weel+ features, as is travel time on recurring events.
• Google and Exchange calendars appear only after those accounts are added in iOS settings, because Weel reads from Apple Calendar.
• The App Store lists overlapping purchases (Weel+, Supporter and a PiCal Pro lifetime item) without explaining how they differ.

Sectograph

Clock-face timeline

The day is drawn as a 12-hour dial, or 24-hour if you prefer, with each event placed at the hours it happens and sized to its duration.

Free time and countdowns

Sectograph calculates the gaps between events and the time from now until the next one, and updates the view as time passes.

Reads existing calendars

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

Home screen widget

A widget keeps the dial on the home screen, refreshing once a minute. Tapping a sector opens event details and quick actions.

Wear OS support

The Android version includes a watch app with an interactive widget, a tile, a large complication and a separately installed watch face.

Zoom and grid views

Options on Android include a 24-hour mode, zooming the dial to between 1 and 12 hours, and month and day grid views.

Weel

24-hour dial

The entire day is one circular image. The clock hand follows the sun's path and shows how much time is left before the next event.

Touch-and-drag events

Touch and drag on the dial to set when an event starts, then use a duration slider instead of working out the end time. A small dial shows clashes.

Critical and muted events

Marking an event critical adds several alarms at once and a red visual cue. Muting silences its alarms and drops it from the next-event queue.

Checklists on events

Notes and to-do lists attach to an event, so the reminder of what to bring or prepare arrives with the event itself.

Time zones and travel time

Added time zones are overlaid on the schedule and rotate together on the dial, and travel time can be set between events.

Widgets and Apple Watch

Home screen widgets and Apple Watch complications show the day's dial outside the app. The complications need a Series 4 watch or later.
