Sophie's App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Know when to start. Your calendar tells you when an event begins. Sophie's App helps with everything before it. It works backward to show when to start preparing, when to leave, and how the plan fits together. For each event, combine preparation time, travel, an arrival buffer, and the tags that matter to you. “Why this time?” explains every part, and you can adjust the plan whenever real life calls for something different. Routines give daily, weekly, and monthly tasks a calm home. Complete them, defer them, skip once, pause them, or simply begin again next time. There are no streaks to protect and no productivity score to chase. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE • View selected calendars in a week or month agenda • Create and edit events in writable calendars • Calculate preparation, departure, and arrival times • Include walking, cycling, driving, public transport, or manual travel time • Add customizable event types and tags • Keep recurring routines and their history together • Use one calm reminder for each daily, weekly, or monthly routine • Choose whether the app opens to Calendar or Routines • Use English or German with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support ADHD-INFORMED, USEFUL FOR ANYONE Sophie's App was designed with ADHD and executive-function challenges in mind. You do not need a diagnosis. It is a planning tool, not a medical product. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Calendar events are read from the calendars you select. Sophie's App contains no advertising, tracking, or analytics and operates no backend server. App data stays on your device unless you enable private iCloud sync. Sophie's App is free to use. If you find it useful, you're welcome to buy me a coffee though ;)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sophie's App at none against Birma's 3. Birma's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
