Pulse vs DayCast

Everything in its own time Organize tasks into lists: today, this week, someday — or pick a specific date. Tasks appear in the right place when their time comes. See what you've done Completed tasks stay in the list until the end of the day — appreciate your progress. The next day you'll find them in the Done list. Running behind — reschedule One move and the task shifts to tomorrow or next week. Notifications on your terms Reminders only for the tasks that matter to you. Notes are here too Thoughts, goals, ideas — no deadlines. Any note can be turned into a task, and vice versa. Nothing gets lost Built-in search and Spotlight support — across all your tasks and notes at once. Your records are yours alone Pulse collects no data. Everything is stored on your devices and synced via iCloud. Your progress Pulse has no AI features, but you can analyze your progress or learn about your productivity by sharing your records with your AI assistant and asking it to put together some stats. Pulse on all your devices On iPhone, iPad and Mac.
