Does Amie have focus session tracking like today?

Amie doesn't have focus session logging with task labels, outcome linkage, or a usefulness rating. It tracks time blocking and task completion on the calendar but doesn't build the session-level data layer that today provides.

Can I use Amie as my calendar and today as my execution tracker?

Yes. Use Amie for calendar management and task scheduling; use today to log focus sessions, track energy and friction, and do your daily reflection. Today syncs from Google Calendar, so Amie-scheduled events appear in today's timeline.

Which app is better for Apple users?

For Apple-first users who want a premium native experience, Amie's native Mac and iPhone apps are polished and enjoyable. Today's web app is capable but doesn't match native app quality on Apple platforms.

Is Amie worth the cost vs. today's free tier?

Amie's pricing positions it as a premium tool. Today's free tier covers core daily planning features. The cost difference is most justified if Amie's native app quality and calendar-task integration are specifically what you need.

What Amie uniquely does in the calendar-task space

Amie is built on a specific thesis: your calendar and your task list should live in the same place. You see meetings and tasks in a unified timeline, time-block tasks directly onto the calendar, and manage contacts alongside events. The interface is polished and opinionated — Amie has made specific design decisions about what a modern calendar-task app should look like. Today approaches the problem differently: it syncs calendar events into your planning view but doesn't try to replace your calendar. Today is your execution and planning layer on top of your existing calendar infrastructure.

What Amie does better than today

Amie's unified calendar-task view is its primary differentiator: seeing events and tasks together on a timeline, with native time-blocking that puts tasks directly on the calendar. For users who find the mental context switch between calendar and task manager disruptive, Amie's integration reduces that friction. Amie's interface polish is also notable — it has a premium aesthetic and fluid interactions that many users find enjoyable to work with. Native Mac and iPhone apps provide a quality that web apps struggle to match.

What today does better than Amie

Today's execution tracking layer — focus sessions with outcome linkage, energy check-ins, friction logs, commitment tracking, and daily reflection — isn't present in Amie. Amie is a better calendar and scheduling tool; today is a better daily execution and learning tool. Amie tells you what you planned; today tracks whether the plan produced the outcomes you intended and helps you understand why or why not. For users focused on improving planning quality over time rather than calendar aesthetics, today's feedback loop is its core value.

Platform and accessibility differences

Amie is a native Mac and iPhone app (with web access as a secondary interface). Today is a web-first app accessible from any browser. Windows and cross-platform users who can't use Amie natively will find today more accessible. Amie has a waitlist or invite-based onboarding at various times, whereas today is immediately accessible. Both tools have free tiers. The platform commitment matters: Amie is deeply integrated with macOS and iOS; today is platform-agnostic and requires no installation.
