SliceFocus and Structured, side by side.
Both lay your day out as a visual plan instead of a list. They differ in the shape of the plan, in what happens when a block ends, and in what they leave to other apps. Here is what each one does, and who it suits.
Who each one suits
- Structured suits you if your day is a mix of tasks, calendar events and routines, you want it on an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac, and you want a planner that takes in your calendars and reminders.
- SliceFocus suits you if you plan in blocks, work in Pomodoro rhythm, and want one 24-hour clock whose timer carries you from focus to break and back on its own, with a shield for distracting apps and sites.
If you need Apple Watch or iPad as a first-class device, or recurring tasks and routines, Structured is the better fit today. SliceFocus is built for the iPhone and the Mac.
