SuperPlanner vs TimeBloc

SuperPlanner

• People who want to-do lists attached to time blocks
• Apple users syncing a planner across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch
• Planning without creating an account

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

SuperPlanner

• The site lists apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch only, with no Windows, Android or web version.
• The free version has limited features, and the terms do not spell out which ones; the rest need Pro or feature packs.
• The US App Store lists Pro subscriptions at $4.99 and $29.99 without naming their billing periods.
• Purchases are charged through Apple, and the terms say all purchases are final with no refunds from the developer.

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.

SuperPlanner

Activities on a timeline

The day is laid out as time-blocked activities with custom repetition rules, different times by day of week, icons and colors, next to events from the calendars on the device.

Tasks inside activities and events

Tasks are added to the activity or calendar event they belong to, with priorities, lists, sections, subtasks, tags, reminders and image attachments.

Day Summary

A horizontal timeline shows what is happening now, what is overdue, anytime tasks and what comes next, with quick suggestions for rescheduling tasks that slipped.

iCloud sync without an account

There is no sign-up and no vendor server. Data is stored on the device and synced across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch through the user's iCloud account.

Widgets and Live Activities

Widgets show activities, tasks and suggested next tasks, and a Live Activity counts down the current activity in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.

Mac menu bar and Apple Watch

On the Mac a global shortcut opens a Command Bar from the menu bar to search tasks or capture one from any app. The watch app shows the timeline with current and overdue items.

TimeBloc
