Most planners assume you do one thing at a time. Parallask doesn't. Build your day as a timeline. Tasks have real durations, so they can overlap, sit side by side, or leave deliberate gaps. The shape of the plan is the plan. Drag a bar to move it, drag its edge to make it longer, tap a gap to fill it. Then give it a start time and walk away. At the appointed moment the plan begins on its own, counting down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the app closed. Each task announces itself as it starts. Nothing needs you to be watching. TIMELINE EDITOR Lay out tasks by dragging. Parallel work sits on its own lane instead of being squeezed into a list. Switch to Task List whenever you'd rather read than drag. RUNS ITSELF Schedule a plan for a time and the days it repeats. Reminders arrive ten minutes before it starts, and the countdown reaches your Lock Screen without you opening anything. A SESSION YOU CAN SEE While a plan runs, the whole timeline plays out with a moving playhead: what's on now, what's next, how long is left. A HISTORY THAT STAYS PUT Finished runs are kept exactly as they ran. Rewrite the plan afterwards, or delete it entirely, and the record of that morning is unchanged. LABELS Five colour-coded labels, named by you and shared across plans, so a glance at the week tells you what kind of day it is. YOUR DAY STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-in. No server, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Everything you create lives on your device and nowhere else. FREE AND MAX Parallask is free: one plan of your own, the five built-in label colours, and starting sessions whenever you like. Parallask Max adds: - Unlimited plans - The full label colour palette - Scheduling plans to start on their own Max is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and subscriptions can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Sublime Task at 15.6 against Parallask's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
