Additional features include: - Individual task schedules (e.g. "Journal every Sunday") - Minimum time for positive habits (e.g. "Read for at least 5 minutes") If this sounds helpful, give it a try.

1000 things to do and zero idea where to start? That is not a discipline problem. Nobody can compare twenty things at once. Prioritizer asks you one question at a time: this one, or that one? Answer a few pairs and your list comes back in order, from the most important to the least. No scores, no labels, no method to learn. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Keep every list you carry in one place — moving, work, health, a trip, a project • Break the big thing into small steps: nest sub-items as deep as you need • Prioritize a whole list, or just what is inside one item — every group gets its own order • Colour what matters, check off what is done, and let finished items sink to the end • Reorder by hand whenever you already know the answer • Select several items at once to delete them together YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS There is no account and no server of ours. Your lists live on your device. If you turn on backup, they go to YOUR OWN Google Drive, in a private app folder — and come back on your next phone. We cannot read them. FREE, WITH AN OPTION The app is free and supported by ads. If you would rather not see them, Remove Ads is available as a subscription or a one-time purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maelstrom at none against Prioritizer's 1. Maelstrom also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). Prioritizer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
