A list of tasks tells you what you meant to do. A planner should tell you whether it fits. In Cadence every task carries an estimate, the card at the top of the day totals them, and the week across the top shows a load bar per day, so a heavy Thursday is visible on Monday while there is still time to move something.
Your calendar sits beside the plan, read and written through EventKit, so the meeting at two is in the same view as the three tasks around it. Priority is a mark rather than a number: a red exclamation for urgent, an amber bar for the middle. Anything captured without a day waits in an inbox with a count on it.
There is no account to make, because there is no server to keep one on. The app is free on one device, and iCloud sync across your Mac and iPhone is $14.99, paid once, with no subscription behind it.
