Hourweave plans your day in time blocks and writes future plans straight into Apple Calendar — while past time only counts what actually happened, so you're not keeping two separate logs. DRAG TO PLAN Tap or long-press-drag across 15/30-minute slots on the timeline, pick an activity, color, and emoji, and a block of your day is planned in seconds. FUTURE PLANS, IN YOUR CALENDAR Blocks you create automatically sync to a dedicated "Hourweave" calendar in Apple Calendar. Edits and deletes stay in sync too, so you never end up with duplicate events — and you can see your plan in Calendar even with the app closed. PAST TIME, COUNTED HONESTLY Past entries stay out of your calendar by default so they can serve as an honest record. For anything still in progress, only the part that has actually elapsed counts toward your stats. TEMPLATES AND REPEATS, LESS RE-TYPING Save a day as a template and apply it to any other day. Recurring plans support daily/weekly/monthly/yearly or custom intervals, generating future blocks automatically. REVIEW WHERE YOUR TIME WENT Day/Week/Month/Year views show a duration ring, a per-activity bar chart, and a stacked trend chart, so you can see at a glance where your time is going and how that's changing over time. Hourweave is a native iPhone app. Your data stays on-device by default and no usage data is collected; writing to Apple Calendar (opt-in) happens entirely on-device, no network involved. The only network request the app makes is fetching the latest privacy-policy text when you view it in Settings, and that never includes any of your personal data. This version focuses on the core loop: time blocks, calendar sync, templates, repeats, and review stats. Widgets and multi-device sync are on the table depending on user feedback.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hourweave at none against DSearch's 3. Hourweave also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
