Projectholic — Project Planner, Gantt & Focus Timer The all-in-one project management app for creators, founders, and solo operators. Plan projects on a visual timeline, drag tasks across a Kanban board, run focus sessions, and see exactly where your week went — on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Stop juggling Notion, Things, and a stopwatch. Projectholic gives you one place to define a goal, break it into tasks, schedule it, and actually finish it. WHY CREATORS CHOOSE PROJECTHOLIC ◆ Kanban Board with Drag & Drop (NEW) A frictionless inbox → today → follow-up flow. Drop a half-baked idea into Inbox, drag it onto a time block, done. Built for the way solo operators actually think. ◆ Focus Timer & Time Visuals (NEW) Start a focus session on any task and watch the time bar fill in real time. See exactly where your day went — by project, by category, by hour. ◆ Stats Dashboard (NEW) A weekly debrief in one screen: planned vs. actual hours, focus time per project, completion rate, and where your effort leaks. ◆ Project Outcomes & Milestones (NEW) Define the outcome that matters before you start. Track milestones, see momentum at a glance, and end every project with a clear "did I ship it" answer. ◆ Gantt Chart for iPad & Mac Plan multi-week projects on a true visual timeline. Pinch to zoom, drag to resize phases, edit subtasks inline, and re-anchor your schedule the moment scope shifts. ◆ Smart Recurring & Multi-Day Tasks Skip weekends, repeat weekly, spill long tasks across days automatically. Designed for real working rhythms — not rigid calendar grids. ◆ Time = Budget Compare planned hours against time actually spent on every task and project. Reveal where your effort goes — and where it's wasted. ◆ iCloud Sync, Built-In Plan on iPhone, schedule on iPad, review on Mac. Everything syncs instantly via your private iCloud — no extra account, no extra subscription. MADE FOR • Indie hackers and solopreneurs running multiple bets • Designers, writers, and creators with project-shaped work • PhD students, researchers, and consultants tracking deep work • ADHD brains who need structure that bends, not breaks TURN GOALS INTO RESULTS Hit focus.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TaskNow at none against Projectholic's 5. Projectholic's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
