Read full descriptionHide full description
WanList is a to-do list, calendar planner, and goal-progress tracker for work, study, and everyday life. Capture a task when it comes to mind, organize it by date, priority, and category, then move it forward with reminders and clear progress. Create daily tasks, study plans, shopping lists, and long-term goals in seconds. Add dates, times, categories, priorities, notes, subtasks, and recurring rules. Schedule, week, and month views make upcoming plans easy to scan, while the four-quadrant view helps you focus on what matters first. Version 3.5.0 introduces measurable lists: track a count, duration, or completion percentage and update it by dragging the progress ring. A goal dashboard shows today, this month, streaks, and a 14-day trend. Recurring lists can end after a chosen number of completions, making long-term plans easier to maintain. Use the AI Assistant to create, find, and update measurable or recurring lists, log progress, and manage subtasks. AI Smart Breakdown turns a goal into practical action steps with suitable measurement and repeat rules. Home-screen widgets, dark mode, themes, and optional system-calendar sync keep your important tasks close at hand. Whether you are planning a meeting, building a habit, or managing a project, WanList gives you one clear place to keep moving.

Forge is a daily operating system for men who refuse to stay the same. Every morning, your AI mentor delivers a principle, asks one sharp question, and helps you set a clear intention for the day. Every evening, you reflect on what you executed, where you fell short, and what the lesson was. Two rituals. Five minutes total. No fluff. YOUR MORNING RITUAL - A hand-picked quote from history's greatest minds — not just Stoics, but athletes, warriors, writers, and leaders - One focused question tailored to your goals and growth stage - A direct mentor response that treats you like a capable adult - Set your daily intention in one line YOUR EVENING REFLECTION - Honest assessment of your day: what worked, what didn't - AI-generated insight connecting your morning intention to your evening reflection - Pattern recognition that surfaces what you keep avoiding - A closing quote to end the day with clarity BUILT FOR MEN WHO SHOW UP - No therapy language. No coddling. No participation trophies - Your mentor adapts to your experience level and grows with you - Personalized to your goals: discipline, physical strength, mental clarity, career, or all of the above - Time-gated rituals that build real consistency — miss the window, own it THE DETAILS - Dark, premium interface designed for focus - Morning ritual window based on your selected start time - Evening reflection unlocks at 6 PM - Streak tracking and history to measure your progress - Works offline with intelligent fallbacks Forge doesn't ask you to journal for 30 minutes or meditate in a field. It asks you to show up for five minutes, be honest, and get better. Your forge is ready. --- SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Forge offers auto-renewing subscriptions: - Weekly subscription (7 days) - Annual subscription (1 year) - Pricing is displayed in-app and may vary by region Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Forge at every 4 days against WanList's every 5 weeks. WanList's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
