Plan a whole year, then explain it in ten seconds. Årshjul lays the twelve months out as a wheel, so the shape of the year is visible before anyone has read a word: the quarter that is overloaded, the empty stretch in July, the two campaigns landing in the same week. Built for consultants, project managers, marketing and communications leads, school and nonprofit teams, and anyone who has to walk a room through next year on an iPad and then look it up on an iPhone afterward. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create tracks for projects, teams, or areas of responsibility, and place activities across the year • Switch between the wheel and a chronological list: the same plan, read two ways • Present straight from the iPad in the meeting, with no sign-in and no browser tab • Hand the plan over as a PDF or PNG for the board packet, the staff handbook, or the wall IMPORT AND EXPORT • Open versioned Årshjul files and JSON • Import and export CSV and iCalendar • Export to PDF and PNG • Warnings appear before an import changes your plan. Nothing is altered silently. FOURTEEN DAYS OF FULL ACCESS Everything is open from the first launch. No account, and no payment request before you have tried it. After fourteen days, creating and editing require a subscription. Reading and exporting your own wheels keeps working either way, so you never lose access to work you have already done. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. INSTEAD OF A BROWSER TOOL OR A TEMPLATE A browser-based year wheel wants an organization account and a login — in the meeting, from every colleague, every time. A PowerPoint or Miro template looks right once and then has to be redrawn by hand every time a date moves. Årshjul is a real app on all three Apple platforms: it opens immediately, needs no account, keeps the plan on your own device, and lets the same plan leave as CSV or iCalendar when someone else needs the dates. LOCAL FIRST No account. No tracking. Your plans stay on your device unless you choose to share them or save an export yourself. ACCESSIBILITY Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and WCAG 2.2 AA. The plan can be read and understood without relying on color. LANGUAGES English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Dutch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Crocodile Calendar at every 4 days against Årshjul's fortnightly. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
