Sync shows your day in two columns. Plan on the left, actual on the right. Plan your day in the morning, record what you actually did, and the two tracks line up side by side. Time that went as planned and time that drifted show in color. After a week you can see where the day keeps slipping. ā Two tracks Plan and actual share one time axis. Drag over the hours, pick an activity, done. ā One tap to confirm When a plan ends, Sync asks "Did you do it?" ā Record as planned Ā· Adjust Ā· Skip. The buttons are right on the Lock Screen and in widgets. ā Timer Start a timer and the actual track grows in real time. Stop it from the Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island. ā Repeats and templates Sleep, commute, workouts ā set them once as repeats. Save a good day as a template and reuse it. ā Goals and to-dos Set weekly, monthly, or yearly time goals per activity and they fill in from your actuals. To-dos can have both a scheduled day and a deadline. ā Apple Health, Calendar, Reminders Connect Apple Health (HealthKit) and your workouts and sleep ā from Apple Watch or any app that writes to Health ā flow into the actual track automatically. Read-only: Sync never writes to Health. Calendar events show beneath the plan track. To-dos stay in sync with a Reminders list. ā Close the day Close your day before bed to see the match rate and time per activity, and leave a one-line note. Everything stays on your device. No account, no server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sync at $4.99 against Silmari's $12.99. Sync also leads on chart position (#91 vs unranked). Silmari's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
