## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** A daily planner at its plainest is today's tasks laid along a timeline. You could make the core of DayBoost for yourself: tasks, time blocking, Pomodoro timer and habit tracking. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.

- You could make: Tasks, time blocking, Pomodoro timer and habit tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
