Read full descriptionHide full description
ProUser turns a sentence into an event. Type "coffee with sam tomorrow at 9" and it's on your calendar — no menus, no date pickers, no taps. It reads plain language on-device, instantly. Say what and when, and the event lands. Same words, same result, every time — nothing waits on a server, nothing leaves your phone. Made for people who live in their calendar and think faster than they tap. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add in one line — "dentist tuesday at 3pm", "lunch at noon", "gym friday 7am" • Let it find the time — "block 2 hours of deep work friday" takes your first free gap • Change things in plain words — push it later, move it, make it shorter, rename it • Clear a stretch — "clear friday afternoon" empties it in one step • Undo anything — every change reverses instantly; deletes ask first • Save your usuals — define "gym" once, then just type "gym fri" • Keep a todo list — "todo buy milk" adds it, "todo! call landlord" puts it first, "done buy milk" ticks it off • Your week on the lock screen — a Shortcut draws the week's events and your todos onto your wallpaper • Quick Add widget — open straight into the command bar from your lock screen • Type or speak it PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your calendar stays on your device. ProUser works offline, makes no account, and collects nothing. Edit your calendar like code.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProUser at none against MaxScan's 1. MaxScan's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
