See your entire project timeline at a glance — Date Wheel maps your tasks, milestones, and deadlines onto a stunning circular 365-day calendar. No more staring at spreadsheets. Just drag, drop, and plan. WHY DATE WHEEL? Traditional project planning tools show you a list or a bar chart. Date Wheel gives you something different — a circular year view that instantly shows where your project sits in the calendar year, how much time you have left, and how your tasks relate to each other. FEATURES Visual Year Wheel — See your full project timeline on a circular 365-day calendar. Tasks appear as colored arcs instantly readable at a glance. Pinch to zoom in for week and day level detail. Progress Tracking — Assign a percentage complete to each task. See progress indicators directly on the wheel arcs, in the timeline list, and in the center hub. Date Wheel automatically compares your actual progress to where you should be based on today's date — tasks running behind show in red, on track in amber, and ahead of schedule in green. Gantt Chart View — Switch to a traditional Gantt chart for detailed timeline analysis. Export to Excel with color-coded, professionally formatted spreadsheets. Milestones — Mark key dates as diamond markers on the wheel. Deadlines, reviews, and launch dates always visible on both the wheel and timeline. Smart Overlap Detection — Automatically detects when tasks overlap or leave gaps. Choose to shift following tasks or set a lead/lag relationship maintained as your schedule evolves. Reminders — Set per-task and per-milestone reminders. Get notified 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or 2 weeks before any deadline. Export Everywhere — Export to Excel, PDF, iCal, or CSV. Import directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or MS Project. Holiday Awareness — Enable public holidays for the US, Canada, Mexico, or China. End dates automatically adjust for non-working days. Pinch to Zoom — Zoom into any part of the wheel to see week and day detail. Pan freely to focus on the dates that matter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Weeks at none against DateWheel's 1. Weeks also leads on device support (4 vs 2). DateWheel's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 16 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
