Finalist vs KanBam

Inspired by paper planners, Finalist shows your calendar, tasks, notes, reminders and weather forecast in one beautiful timeline. It even pulls in your Journal Suggestions and Activity Rings to keep you inspired. Gorgeous themes make planning a joy, not a chore. Finalist is built for people who finish things, no complex workflows or productivity theater. NOTES, IN YOUR PLANNER Your planner remembers what you wrote. A dedicated Notes tab gives you notebooks, tags and search. Keep native notes that sync over iCloud, or connect a folder of plain markdown files, including your Obsidian vault, and edit them in place. Tasks inside your markdown files become real Finalist tasks: dated, tagged and checkable anywhere in the app. YOUR DAY, ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app puts your whole day one glance away: events, tasks, reminders and habits in one scrollable view, topped by a Now card that always knows what matters next. Check off pinned lists from the wrist, grocery list included, and add tasks by keyboard, scribble or dictation. Complications and a Smart Stack widget round it out. (Requires watchOS 26.) DESIGN YOUR DAY Choose between two Daily designs: Daybook, the classic stacked layout, or Broadsheet, a newsprint-inspired look that shines on iPad and Mac. Rearrange sections with the layout editor and save your own presets. On the rebuilt Timeline, drag tasks onto the grid to sketch your day in pencil, then commit when it's real. "I've tried dozens of planning apps, this is the one that finally works." - Beta user "The integration of Reminders and Lists reduces the apps I need daily and makes planning actually fun." - Beta user Built with native Apple technologies: no accounts to create, syncs over iCloud, supports Family Sharing, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Mac. Full database backup, export and import via JSON and OPML. Finalist is a love letter to paper planners.

KanBam brings kanban boards and an idea wall together in one focused app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. START SIMPLE Create a board and get moving with just columns, checkboxes, and clear card titles. Simple mode keeps planning calm and uncluttered. Switch to Pro mode whenever you need more detail. PLAN THE WAY YOU WORK Add labels, priorities, due dates, checklists, assignees, estimates, work-in-progress limits, swimlanes, and filters. Each board can use its own level of detail. CAPTURE IDEAS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR Drop thoughts onto a visual idea wall, add tags, vote, and compare impact with effort. When an idea is ready, turn it into a card while keeping the original context. MOVE QUICKLY Drag cards between columns, use accessible Move commands, or open Quick Add to capture a task with its column, label, priority, and assignee in one line. SYNC AND SHARE WITH ICLOUD Keep boards current across your Apple devices. Share a board by link when you want others to collaborate. Offline changes wait safely and sync when you reconnect. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES KanBam supports light and dark appearance, adjustable accent colors, larger text, keyboard-friendly controls, VoiceOver labels, and native layouts for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No account beyond iCloud. No ads. No tracking. No third-party analytics.
