| Value for money | ALifetime Pro is $59.99 once, which is less than a year of a typical planner at about $8 a month. The US App Store also lists Pro subscriptions at $4.99 and $29.99, without saying which period each covers, and one-time feature packs from $9.99. | BWe can't pin it down. The US App Store lists Premium at seven amounts from $4.99 to $79.99 without saying what period each covers, and the vendor's site has no prices.

Key features
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.
TimeFinder
- Split view with drag and drop
- Task lists and the schedule sit side by side, and a task becomes a time block when it is dragged into a slot. It can be dragged back to a list the same way.
- Flexible time blocks
- The day can be planned in 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60-minute intervals, and blocks are stretched, shrunk and rearranged by dragging.
- Schedule Shift and task rollover
- Schedule Shift moves tasks earlier or later in one tap when the day runs late, and rollover carries unfinished tasks into available time slots.
- Task bucket
- A task can be committed to a date without being tied to a time slot, then placed on the schedule once the day takes shape.
- Calendar and Reminders sync
- Imports events from Apple Calendar, Google and Outlook and exports the TimeFinder schedule back. The Apple apps also sync both ways with Apple Reminders.
- Schedule templates and color palettes
- Routines can be saved as templates and reapplied. Task labels remember their colors, and palettes can be chosen from presets or built in a palette editor.
