Keep Savvy Time, or make your own?
Your call
A calendar at its plainest is events on a grid.
You could make the core of Savvy Time for yourself: calendar. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $23.88 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets and the lock screen.
What this rests on. Savvy Time’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.
