Vela
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vela is a calm AI planner for busy, ADHD brains. Say what's on your mind, and Vela turns it into a day you can actually finish. Vela Pro subscription required (weekly, monthly or yearly); the yearly plan can start with a free trial if you're eligible. JUST SAY IT Talk to Vela by voice or text: "Move groceries to tomorrow and add call mom at 6." Vela makes the changes and shows you what changed, so nothing happens behind your back. Snap a handwritten list and approve what Vela found before anything is added. THREE THINGS, NOT THIRTY Pick a Top 3 so the day has a shape. See tasks and your calendar together as a list, a schedule or an hour grid, and always know what's now and what's next. FOCUS WITHOUT THE SCROLL Start a focus timer in one tap and pause the apps you choose. Follow it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. HABITS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK Daily, on chosen days or any few days a week. Your small version counts, and progress only grows. LOOK AFTER YOUR HEAD One-tap mood check-ins, a journal you can type, speak or scan, gratitude, and guided calm-down and breathing sessions. FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS ON YOUR iPHONE AND iPAD Widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, Face ID lock, light and dark mode, Dynamic Type, and nine languages including Spanish, French, Arabic and Persian. AI WITH YOUR PERMISSION AI features stay off until you say yes. Some extras, like replies in Vela's voice, use AI credits; plans include weekly credits and extra packs are available in the app. Vela is a planning and wellbeing tool, not medical advice or treatment. Vela Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vela at none against RepGrid's shown. Vela also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
