- Watch out: the lowest rate needs a three-year commitment
- Watch out: companion app platforms are not stated on the pages read

Keep Hearth Display, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Hearth Display you could make: calendar, tasks and habit tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 113 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $69.12 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar, tasks 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Hearth Display’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.
