In the free training here at ScheduleU, you learn that there are two ways to time block. The first is to use an auto-scheduler, while the second involves manually manipulating a digital calendar. Each requires a unique combination of habits, practices, apps, and devices which you, as the user, must choose.
On this page we look at a single element – the software available to you to engage in either technique. This is just a plain list of apps… in the future, I will offer a feature by feature comparison.

All the above apps have seen new releases offered to the public within the past few years. The ones below seem to be outdated.

Auto-schedulers act like a GPS for all your tasks, providing you with an optimal calendar with the click of a button.

Compared to a standard app like Google Calendar, these apps are far better suited to the job of moving tasks from a master list to your calendar, in order to build a schedule.

These two add-ons are features which have been added into already existing apps. They both rely on machine learning, but have received few positive reviews or recommendations. We don’t recommend this alternative.
