Daymo Calendar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Daymo is a minimal calendar designed for quickly answering questions like "Does anything need my attention this week?" and "Is Friday a good day for that trip?". Upcoming weeks are displayed in a continuous vertical week view. It is similar to agenda views in other apps, but keeps empty days visible to keep your week easy to overview spatially. All day and multi day events is also first class citizens with a minimal design to keep your week easy to scan. Daymo syncs with the device calendar so no new account is needed and all your existing calendar events are available when you start the app for the first time. The app is free, open source and no data is collected except for anonymized app analytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daymo Calendar at none against Focus Blocks's 2. Daymo Calendar also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Focus Blocks's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
