YOUR DAY, MADE CLEAR Prism is a visual day planner that helps you see your time, not just your tasks. Color-coded blocks show your entire day at a glance β what's now, what's next, and what's done. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS Most planners are built for people who are already organized. Prism is built for everyone else: - Time blindness? See exactly how your tasks fit into your day - Overwhelmed? Prism shows you just the next thing - Tasks piling up? Gentle nudges help you reschedule or let go β no guilt, no shame SMART WITHOUT THE CLOUD Type "Gym at 5pm for 1 hour" and Prism understands. On-device AI parses your tasks, suggests icons, and picks colors β all privately, nothing leaves your phone. CALM BY DESIGN - Warm, muted color palette (no angry red alerts) - No streaks, no productivity scores, no guilt - Overdue tasks get gentle options, not punishment - "Plans change" is a feature, not a failure SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Prism Pro is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in your App Store account settings.

Tell FlowState what kind of brain showed up today. It'll show you the tasks that fit. Built for ADHD brains β and anyone whose focus comes and goes β FlowState matches your to-do list to your current energy. Scattered, steady, locked, or foggy. The tasks that fit surface. The ones that don't get out of the way. ENERGY-MATCHED TASKS Pick the level of focus you actually have. Low-focus surfaces errands and emails. High-focus brings the deep work forward. Foggy days hide the list entirely and offer one gentle action β because some days, that's the win. BRAIN-DUMP TO TASKS Paste a wall of "I need toβ¦" and FlowState rewrites it into clean, action-oriented tasks. It drops the filler ("I have to", "remember to"), starts each title with a verb, and tags an energy level so you know when to do it. RIGHT-SIZED FOCUS TIMER 5 minutes when scattered. 25 when steady. No cap when locked in. The timer follows you out of the app via Live Activity and Lock Screen widgets, so the session stays alive even when your attention doesn't. ROUTINES THAT KNOW THEIR PLACE Morning, midday, or evening routines with optional reminders. They show up where they belong instead of nagging from a separate tab. CALENDAR ALONGSIDE TASKS Read your iOS calendar so events and tasks live side by side. Calendar content never leaves your device. PARK WITHOUT SHAME Brain hijack mid-session? Park the task. Come back when you're ready. No streak to defend, no chain to break. CALM BY DESIGN No streaks. No badges. No daily score. No green ticks judging you for the day you missed. The only celebration is the quiet one when you finish a task.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Prism at none against FlowState's shown. Prism also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). FlowState's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
