Opus One is a real day planner, not another to-do app. Each day gets its own page — tasks with A/B/C priorities, your schedule, and notes — on a planner that looks and feels like paper. Plan on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and it all stays in sync. YOUR DAY ON ONE PAGE • Daily Tasks with A/B/C priorities, status, notes, and alarms. • A schedule that shows your Calendar events alongside your tasks. • Drag a task onto the schedule — with task durations, the end time fills in automatically. • Daily Notes with photos, PDFs, checklists, and audio. • Today's weather and a daily quote, right on the page. PLAN BEYOND TODAY • Master Tasks: everything on your mind in one list, no due date required. • Goals with timelines, photos, and progress you can see. • Roles: review the areas of your life each week so nothing important gets crowded out. • Mission, Values, and Vision pages to keep the big picture one tap away. • Meeting Planner for agendas, decisions, and next steps.

Plan a day that fits — and fix it when life changes. DayPace is a daily planner built on time blocking that learns how long your work really takes. Put your tasks on today's timeline, see before you start whether the day fits, and when something runs long, repair the plan in one tap. Most planners assume your estimates are right. DayPace measures. Start a task when you begin and finish it when you're done; your real pace appears next to your estimate, and your estimate is never overwritten. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Plan today and tomorrow on a clear timeline • Add a task in one line — "Deck review 45m at 2pm" becomes a scheduled block • Time every task from the app, your Lock Screen or Apple Watch • Replan in one tap when a task overruns: keep your finish time, finish later, or choose yourself • Build routines with repeating tasks and reusable day templates • See your calendar events on the same timeline • Review the day in the evening and carry unfinished work forward • Home Screen widgets, Live Activity, iCloud sync, export and import MADE FOR REAL DAYS For people who plan carefully and still run late — including many with ADHD. No streaks, no scores, no guilt. Just an honest picture of your day and a plan that adapts when it has to. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Task and calendar titles never leave your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: DayPace at free with in-app purchases against Opus One's subscription. DayPace also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Opus One's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (984 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Opus One sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and DayPace sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DayPace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Opus One has 984 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Opus One ships an update every 3 weeks, DayPace every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
