How we grade them
| 3.2GPAWeekriseVery good | 3.4GPAWeekToDoVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APro is $4 a month, about half what planners usually start at, and it lifts the limits on calendars, boards and synced Google Calendars. Team is a flat $12 for up to 20 people, not a charge per seat. The page doesn't say if billing is monthly or yearly, and taxes are added at checkout. | AIt costs nothing. The whole app is free and open source under the GNU GPL 3, and the pay-what-you-can donation on the download page is optional and unlocks nothing extra. |
| Free plan and trial | BUnlimited tasks and no card needed, but it's one of everything: 1 calendar, 1 board, 1 synced Google Calendar and 1 collaborator. Fine for one person with one calendar. Pomodoro, tags, attachments and the daily digest are paid. | AEvery feature is free on Windows, macOS, Linux and the web, with no paid tier to bump into. You can decline the donation and still get the lot. |
| Features | BA week view with projects, subtasks and repeating tasks, kanban boards, sharing by link, public calendars and a Cmd+K menu that runs most things from the keyboard. Solid. But Google Calendar is the only calendar it pulls in, and it asks for read access only. | BA week of day columns with tasks under each, custom lists for things with no day, sub-tasks, Markdown descriptions, repeats on chosen weekdays and alarms. Good basics. But there's no sync, no cloud copy and no integrations, and the last release, 2.2.0, is dated February 2024. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is our ceiling. It's a web page with your week on it, so there's nothing to install. Deleted tasks can be restored for two weeks, which forgives the odd slip. | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is our ceiling. It's one screen, and you drag tasks between days. The snag: the download page says the app isn't code-signed, so the first launch needs a workaround. Running it in a browser skips that. |
| Platforms and integrations | BBrowser only, with a layout that adapts to phones. The site lists no native desktop or mobile apps. Google Calendar is the one integration on record. | BWindows, macOS, Linux and any web browser, which is broad for a desktop planner. But there's no mobile app and nothing syncs between devices. Both are on the project's roadmap. |
| Best for | planning your week in a browser tab | a free weekly planner kept on your own device |

Key features
Weekrise
- Weekly task calendar
- Tasks are laid out on a week view and grouped into projects, with subtasks and repeating tasks. Deleted tasks can be restored for two weeks.
- Boards
- Kanban boards hold tasks and projects that do not fit on a calendar. The Free plan includes 1 board; Pro and Team have no limit.
- Google Calendar sync
- Events from the Google Calendars you select appear in the Weekrise calendar. Weekrise asks for read access only.
- Team and public sharing
- Invite people with a link and assign a task to one or several members, or make a calendar public so viewers need no account.
- Command menu
- Cmd+K or Ctrl+K opens a menu that searches calendars, boards, teams and tasks and runs most actions from the keyboard.
- Pomodoro timer
- A built-in timer defaults to 25-minute work phases and 5-minute breaks, with adjustable lengths. It is limited to Pro and Team.
WeekToDo
- Week calendar and task list in one
- The main screen shows the week as columns of days with each day's tasks under it, so planning and the to-do list share a single interface.
- Custom to-do lists
- Separate lists hold tasks that are not tied to a day, such as projects, and a setting controls how many list columns are shown.
- Sub-tasks and Markdown
- A task can be broken into sub-tasks, and its description supports Markdown, with links opening in the web browser.
- Recurring tasks and reminders
- Tasks can repeat, including on chosen weekdays, and a time and an alarm can be set on a task so it raises a notification.
- Drag and drop and task colors
- Tasks are moved between days and lists by dragging, and each one can be given a color from the task color picker.
- Local storage
- The privacy statement says all data is saved locally on the device and never sent to the project's server, and no personal data is collected.
