Beck turns hours of calendar tapping into seconds of conversation — then goes further: it remembers your meetings, preps you before the next one, and answers questions no calendar grid can. Snap a photo of any schedule and every event appears. Add Sophie's soccer through June in one sentence. Ask "what does tomorrow look like?" and get a real answer. No forms. No menus. Just talk to your calendar like you'd talk to a chief of staff. WHAT BECK DOES Snap a Schedule Photograph a sports calendar, school syllabus, camp schedule, or printed agenda. Beck reads it and proposes every event in seconds. You review, confirm, done. Capture From Anywhere Share a screenshot, email, or text to Beck from any app and it becomes an event. Or just ask Siri. Get it out of your head the moment it lands in it. Talk Instead of Tap "Move my 3pm to Friday morning." "Block two hours Wednesday for deep work." "Lunch with Maria next week, anywhere mid-day." Say it the way you think it. A Calendar With a Memory "What does my Tuesday look like?" "When did I last meet with Jordan?" "What did we cover last time?" Beck answers in plain English, with context from your calendar history — and remembers what matters across meetings. Meeting Prep, Built In Save notes from your last call, paste in a brief, or record on-device. Beck surfaces what matters before you walk into the room. Answer "Can We Do Thursday?" in Seconds Ask Beck when you're free and share your open times as a clean card — no back-and-forth, no screenshots of your week. Smart Recurring Events Without Menus "Every other Tuesday at 5 through June." Beck handles complex recurrence — events and reminders — in a sentence, with no fiddling with end dates. WORKS WITH YOUR CALENDARS Beck connects through your iPhone's calendar system, so it works with iCloud, Google, Outlook, and Exchange — anything already on your device. Nothing to migrate. SAFE BY DESIGN Every change Beck proposes is shown to you first. You confirm before anything is written, moved, or deleted. Beck never silently edits your calendar. PRIVACY YOU CAN READ Your data is not used to train AI models. Meeting transcription happens on-device. We're clear about what gets sent to the cloud and what doesn't.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flows at 100% against Beck's 50%. Flows also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Beck's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (54 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
