ColorCalendar

Your calendar can do better than gray on gray. ColorCalendar tints your events automatically using rules you set up once – “dentist” turns red, “choir” turns purple, “school” turns yellow. You’ll read your week at a glance without reading a single event. ColorCalendar works directly with the calendars you already have (iCloud, Google, Exchange, CalDAV, subscribed calendars) – nothing moves, everything stays in sync. AS FAST AS YOU THINK • Create events in natural language: “tomorrow 3pm dentist” – done. • Repeating events, too: “rehearsal every Monday 7pm” or “every first Wednesday of the month until December”. • Six views, one swipe: day, 2-day, week, month, list, year. • Fluid 120 Hz scrolling and pinch-zoom – built like a system app. • Month view with a pull-up day panel: overview on top, details below. COLOR WITH A SYSTEM • Color rules: keyword → color, applied automatically to every matching event. • Exact matches, word boundaries, or smart similarity – your choice. • Custom colors for single events or whole series, too. ALWAYS IN SIGHT • Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen. • Apple Watch app with complications – your next events on your wrist. • Event details with map preview and travel time. FOR FULL CONTROL: COLORCALENDAR PRO • Unlimited color rules (3 are free). • “Time to leave” alerts with live travel time to your destination. • Edit subscribed calendars: mirroring makes read-only calendars editable. • Duplicate manager: detect and merge duplicate events across calendars. • Smart location suggestions from your event history. • Event attachments, plus backup & export. ColorCalendar Pro is €9.99 per year after a 14-day free trial. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Universal Purchase). The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled anytime in Settings. Without Pro, ColorCalendar remains a fully capable free calendar – all views, all your events, natural language input, and 3 color rules included. MORE TO COME ColorCalendar is under active development and the next versions are already in the works. Feature requests and bug reports are genuinely welcome – they go straight into the plan. YOUR DATA IS YOURS ColorCalendar collects no data. Your events stay in your calendar accounts; your settings sync only through your personal iCloud key-value storage. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Privacy policy: https://matthiasgolla.de/apps/colorcalendar/datenschutz Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ColorCalendar at every 6 days against AlvisQuest's every 3 weeks. AlvisQuest's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
