Every planner makes you figure out when to do things. PLANZ does it for you. Add your tasks, set your available hours, and PLANZ auto-schedules everything into your day โ no manual time-blocking, no drag-and-drop, no guesswork. No account. No email. No trial countdown. Free to start. THE ONLY PLANNER THAT SCHEDULES ITSELF Most planning apps are just fancy to-do lists. You still have to drag tasks around, guess how long things take, and rebuild your schedule every time something changes. PLANZ is different. Its auto-scheduling engine finds the best open gap in your day and drops your task there โ automatically. You add the what. PLANZ figures out the when. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell PLANZ your available hours (once). 2. Add a task with a rough duration. 3. PLANZ slots it into the right time โ no drag, no guess. Add an urgent task, change your availability, or defer something, and PLANZ reflows your whole day instantly. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO GET THINGS DONE โข Auto-Scheduling Engine โ best-fit gap finding places tasks into your real free time. Not a rigid template.

PEAK turns a focus session into a commitment your phone helps you defend. Pick what distracts you. Pick how long you want to work. Then lock in. For the length of the session PEAK uses Apple's Screen Time to shield the apps and websites you chose, so the decision to focus gets made once instead of every ninety seconds. LOCK THEM OUT Choose apps, categories and websites through Apple's own picker. PEAK never learns which ones you picked. Screen Time hands the app an opaque token and nothing else. STRICT MODE Strict mode holds the session closed. Quitting early takes a deliberate confirmation rather than a reflex tap, so a dull moment does not cost you the block. PRESETS THAT FIT THE WORK SPRINT runs 25 minutes on and 5 off. DEEP WORK runs 50 and 10. LOCK IN runs 90 and 15. Build your own when none of those match the task. A DAILY TARGET Set a target in minutes and watch the day fill in. Progress keeps your completed sessions, your streak and an honest record of where the hours went. ROUTINES Schedule recurring sessions by weekday and time. The morning block starts itself. HOLD TO COMMIT Starting a session takes a press and hold rather than a tap. Small friction, deliberately placed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sessions, presets and routines stay on your device. There is no account, no login and no cloud sync, and your Screen Time selection never leaves your phone. PEAK PRO PEAK is a subscription app. Full access needs PEAK Pro, an auto-renewing subscription available as a weekly or a yearly plan. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AppBlocker at none against PLANZ's shown. PLANZ's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
