Busy B Planner is a warm, visual todo app for people juggling everyday life. Brain-dump anything you need to remember into the Running list inbox the moment it hits you: no decisions required up front. Then file each task into a category, with optional subcategories, whenever you're ready, so capturing never gets in the way of doing. Flag tasks, reorder them with drag and drop, and get gentle reminders so nothing slips. Plan around Today and Tomorrow, and see your whole week at a glance on iPad. Everything syncs instantly across your iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud. No account to create, no sign-up required. WHY BUSY B • Inbox: a running list to capture anything, anytime, then sort it when you're ready • Siri: ask Siri to add a task to Busy B without opening the app • Today & Tomorrow views: see exactly what matters right now • Categories: organize your way. Drag and drop to arrange them, or sort alphabetically or by date added • Flag & file: swipe to flag your most important tasks or file them into a category • Due date reminders: never miss what's important • iPad Command Center: a full three-pane layout built for iPad, not just a stretched iPhone app • iCloud sync: your tasks, everywhere, automatically • Themes with dark mode: a handful of hand-crafted palettes to start BUSY B PRO Upgrade for: • Unlimited categories • Subcategories: nest and group tasks within categories • The full theme collection: all 9 palettes plus dark mode • Voice capture: tap the mic and just talk. Busy B adds the task with the date filled in and takes its best guess at the category • Daily briefing: open the app to a short, on-device read of what matters today, not just a count • One-tap filing: on-device intelligence sorts your Running list inbox into the right categories, and you review before anything moves • Weekly catch-up: a look at lingering tasks that have stalled, each with a suggested next step Voice capture, the briefing, filing and catch-up are built with Apple Intelligence. Every suggestion is generated on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing trains a model. Voice capture needs iOS 26 or later, and its date and category suggestions, like the briefing, filing and catch-up, need an Apple Intelligence-capable device with Apple Intelligence turned on. The rest of Busy B works on every supported device. Your task data stays yours: synced privately through your own iCloud account. Simple enough to open and start typing. Powerful enough to organize a busy life. Terms of Use (Apple's Standard EULA): http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula Privacy Policy: https://busybplanner.com/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time Sensitive at none against Busy B Planner's 3. Busy B Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
