Open IdeaDock and start writing. No account, no email, not even an anonymous one β your first list is already waiting. Keep it that way, or sign in when you want your lists on every device and shared with the people you plan with. CAPTURE IT BEFORE YOU FORGET IT Type it, or hold the mic and say it. A thought you have on the stairs is in the right list before you reach the top. A LIST FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE Groceries, work, the weekend, the thing you keep meaning to fix. Every list gets its own icon, so you find it without reading. SHARE ONE LIST, NOT ALL OF THEM Invite someone to a single list by email. They add, tick off and edit, and you both see it happen. Everything else stays yours. No more planning in a chat thread. IT TIDIES ITSELF Priorities, pinning, filters and sorting. Deleted tasks sit in the trash for 30 days before they go for good, so nothing vanishes by accident. BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE Your notes are encrypted before they are stored, with a separate key for every list. Without an account, nothing leaves your device at all. Free. No ads. No account required.

Tengrid is a time blocking grid in the spirit of the paper 10-minute study planner. Pick a highlighter pen, swipe across a row and the cells fill in. Swipe again in the Actual column as the day goes. The big number at the top counts the time you spent the way you planned, like 6H10M. β Swipe to plan β drag across a row to paint, tap twice to fill several hours, tap a painted cell to clear it β Plan and actual side by side β six cells for the plan, six for what happened, in the same row β The current block on your Lock Screen β a Live Activity and the Dynamic Island show what you are in and the minutes left β Log it in one tap β tap an hour number and the Actual cells copy the plan. Tap "As planned" on the block-end alert and the plan is copied the next time you open the app β Repeat blocks β weekday deep work or a daily lunch are painted in before you open the app β Widgets β small and medium Home Screen widgets and a Lock Screen widget show the current block Included without paying - The grid, both columns, painting, erasing and undo - Unlimited block types with six highlighter colors - Repeat blocks, block start alerts, the Live Activity and all three widgets - Every past day, dark mode, five languages - A copy in your own iCloud (the last two years), which you can turn off Lifetime unlock (one-time purchase) - Compare by week and month: each day becomes one line of 10-minute pixels, and drift mode shows where the day left the plan - Save as many day templates as you like (weekday, weekend, exam week) and apply one in a tap - Three more pen sets and three more app icons The lifetime unlock is a single payment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IdeaDock at none against Tengrid's 1. IdeaDock also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
