WeekSquire

Most planning apps want you to follow a schedule. WeekSquire follows you. A list in your head has no times on it, so the week fills up with everything else. Once a week, brain-dump what needs doing and WeekSquire proposes times for each task around the calendar you already keep. You review, adjust, and confirm. Each task becomes a real event in your existing calendar, not a fourth app to check. Then life happens, and that's fine. Nothing here tracks a streak or scolds you for a missed task. Didn't get to something? It just moves to your backlog for next time, or you mark it Someday. Plans change mid-week all the time, and WeekSquire can rebuild the rest of the week around what actually happened, not what you originally guessed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Brain-dump your tasks. Type in whatever needs doing this week, no formatting, no folders, just the list. 2. AI proposes a schedule. WeekSquire reads your existing calendar and proposes times for each task around what's already there, fit to your week, not a template. 3. Review, adjust, confirm. Nudge anything that doesn't fit, then confirm. Each task becomes a real calendar event. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Built around your rhythm, not a rigid plan. Move things, skip things, catch up later. There's no penalty for a week going sideways. - No account, no sign-in. Your device is all it needs. - Works with the calendar you already use. No new app to check every day, WeekSquire writes straight to your existing calendar. - One-way sync. WeekSquire reads your calendar for context and writes the schedule you confirm. It never edits or deletes anything it didn't create. - Deadlines and pinned days. Tell WeekSquire a task must land on a specific day, or just needs to be done by a certain date, and it plans around that. - Recurring tasks. Set something to repeat once or several times a week and it re-enters your plan automatically, no rebuilding from scratch. FREE - Up to 5 scheduled tasks per weekly planning session - Full backlog storage, no cap - One regenerate per session if the first proposal doesn't work - Deadlines, one pinned day per task, and hour-range constraints WEEKSQUIRE PRO (monthly or yearly subscription, 14-day free trial on the yearly plan, price shown at checkout) - Unlimited tasks each week - Recurring tasks and full backlog - Midweek reshuffle, anytime your week changes - Unlimited quick-add shortcuts - Pin a task to more than one day a week - Smarter scheduling for harder weeks PRIVACY No account or sign-in is required. Your tasks and calendar are sent securely to build your plan. They are never sold, and never used for anything but your plan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WiCal at none against WeekSquire's 2. WiCal also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). WeekSquire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
