The Planio app lets you access all of Planio right from your iOS device. Thousands of businesses worldwide have been using Planio to ship software projects from one place since 2009.

You’ll also have team chat and documentation in Planio. AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT Agile kanban boards make it easy to visualize work. Plan your sprints and report on progress using agile charts, including burn down charts. “I really appreciate the Agile plugins (burnup/burndown, Agile planning and Scrum board).” Kai Olav Frediksen BUG TRACKING Powerful workflows means you can keep track of every bug or feature request. Git & SVN integration means you can host your repos and link commits with issues. “We migrated from JIRA to Planio, and it took less than a day. We didn’t have to prepare anything. All the settings and contents were cleanly transferred without any problems.” Hoven Reimar CUSTOMER SUPPORT & HELPDESK The CRM and Helpdesk will let you respond to customer requests faster. “Project management, issue tracking and helpdesk in one tool. Planio has replaced Zendesk, Redmine and Sourcerepo for us and is much better integrated while saving us a lot of money. I'm very glad I found this.” Gerrit Hunter REPOSITORY HOSTING Planio comes with unlimited hosted Git and SVN repositories. You can browse source code in Planio, control access and reference issues and time tracking in commit messages. “Planio's integration of Git and SVN is superb. It is, besides support, the main reason why I chose Planio.” - Timon Royer DOCUMENTATION & COLLABORATION You’ll be able to share ideas with your team in the wiki. You can discuss ideas in the forum, or you can make announcements on the blog. “The know how you build up while joggling with the tasks is kept secured in the easy editable wiki.” - DigitalMINDS Inc TEAM CHAT You can quickly make a decision on issues with colleagues via team chat. It’s based on IRC protocol, so it’s compatible with many chat clients.

Those Reels you just scrolled. Remember any of them? OpLoop blocks the apps that eat your day, on the schedule you set. Open one anyway and you get a card that makes you smile, instead of a gray wall or a lecture. Built for doomscrollers who want a real digital detox. Cut screen time and break the endless-scroll habit, alone or with friends. ■ Blocking without the nagging Every block shows a different card: a gentle poke, a calm line, sometimes a joke that goes right up to the line. 3,600 cards written for 12 cultures, each set from scratch, never machine-translated. Cooldowns keep the same line from turning into wallpaper. ■ Challenges: quit together Some goals are hard to keep alone. Join a challenge and quit on the same day as everyone else. OpLoop does the blocking for the whole challenge, and if you hold on to the end, you PASS. Official challenges are open to everyone. A friends' challenge starts from a single invite link (creating one is Pro). ■ Routines Pick the hours and the apps, then decide how strict. Morning focus, study hours, an evening wind-down: set the rhythm once and OpLoop turns blocking on and off for you. Websites can go on the list too. ■ Sprint Need focus right now? Start a session, no schedule needed. • Soft blocks the apps you picked • Deep blocks everything except the apps you allow • Lockdown (Pro) holds until the timer runs out Pick Interval to alternate focus and breaks in sets, Pomodoro style. Follow the timer on your Lock Screen, or start a Sprint right from the Home Screen widget. ■ Lockdown, the iPhone way While Lockdown runs, iOS won't let you delete apps (OpLoop included), install new ones, change the clock, or open the web. That's as firm as iOS lets any app be: no tricks, and no promises we can't keep. If you like, a Shortcut can turn on a Focus when Lockdown starts. ■ Growth An estimate of the time you earned back each week, plus the blocks that held and the Sprints you finished. ■ Passes A few short passes a day for when you really need the app. Use one right from the block screen. When they run out, the block holds. ■ Themes (Pro) Four color themes to match your mood. ■ OpLoop Pro (in-app purchase) Everything above is free, with one routine and one app per list. Features marked (Pro), such as Lockdown, themes and creating a friends' challenge, plus unlimited apps and routines and no ads, need OpLoop Pro: a monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. ■ About Screen Time access OpLoop uses Apple's Screen Time API to block the apps and content you choose. We don't collect which apps you block or your blocking history. Everything it uses for blocking stays on your iPhone and never leaves it. If you sign in, we keep your email for your account. ■ Your records stay on your phone Routines, blocks, and passes are stored on your device only and never uploaded. Join a challenge and only that challenge's rules and results are shared. Terms of Service: https://oploop.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://oploop.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planio at none against OpLoop's 5. Planio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). OpLoop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price there is nothing between them.
