The report card
Best for a phone planner on one timeline

| Free plan and trial | B | The timeline, Inbox, tasks and reminders are free, which a person could live on. |
| Features | C | One timeline, time blocks, reminders and focus blocks do the basics, but repeating tasks and the week view are Pro. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Tasks, time blocking, Pomodoro timer and habit tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. DayBoost’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
