Who says calendars can't be fun? Vantage takes the mundane out of scheduling. In part because it works well and is easy to use, but also because of useful visual cues like colors, stickers, book covers and stacks. Visual cues makes understanding a long list of stuff easier, and can help you understand your daily life better. Sort of like doodles in a physical book can help you remember notes. Picked by Apple as the "App of the Day" on the App Store in 2019. Stacks Stacks are a really cool way of summarising days. It reduces clutter and visualises how much is on your plate. The higher the stack, the more things you got planned. Tap any stack to peek it’s contents. Integrated To-Dos To-dos live in little notebooks right next to the main timeline. To set a due date, just drag a to-do and drop it on a date. You also get to customise your books with a pre-set book cover, or even a photo from your camera roll. Color Tags and Stickers Visual cues makes long lists of stuff so much easier to read. Pick from a variety of funky stickers or color tags to let events either pop or feel connected.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vantage Calendar at none against Timepage's 5. Vantage Calendar also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 54%). Timepage's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timepage sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Vantage Calendar asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timepage holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timepage has 15K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Vantage Calendar's written reviews are positive against 54% of Timepage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vantage Calendar ships an update fortnightly, Timepage weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
