Diarized

Roadmap

What Diarized does today, what is being built, and the part most of these pages leave out: what we looked at and decided against, with the reason. If your task app is in that last section, that is the honest answer rather than a silence.

Live

Working now, for everyone.

Todoist

Tasks, priorities and due dates. Duration is a paid Todoist feature, so on the free plan you write 45m in the title instead.

TickTick

Tasks from your lists. TickTick's API cannot see the Inbox, so anything sitting there is not visible to Diarized, and we tell you so rather than reporting a sync that found nothing.

ClickUp

The only one of these with a real duration field on its free plan: a ClickUp estimate is booked as exactly that, with nothing to write in the title. Work due in the next few days is scheduled; ClickUp has no sprint to mean “now”, and booking a whole backlog would fill every hour you have.

Jira

The issues assigned to you in an open sprint, with their time estimate or story points turned into hours. Jira Cloud only, and the priority mapping is approximate: schemes are per-project and Jira has five levels where the scheduler has four.

Asana

Tasks assigned to you are read and scheduled. Asana has no duration or priority field of its own. Both are custom fields your workspace created, so you point Diarized at yours once and it reads them from then on.

monday.com

Items assigned to you on the boards you choose are read and scheduled, and finishing a block sets the board's own done status. Read once an hour rather than every fifteen minutes: monday.com counts API calls per day across everything you have connected, and a plan below Pro allows a thousand, so a careless reader would spend your allowance by lunchtime and break your other tools doing it. Built on monday's new sign-in flow, since the old one is due to stop working this autumn. Writing the scheduled time back to the board is not done yet, because the only column to write it into is the due date.

GitHub

Open issues assigned to you are read and scheduled, and finishing a block closes the issue as completed. GitHub has no estimate or priority of its own, so labels carry both: 45m, 1hr, 2hr for length and p0 to p4 or priority: high for weight, read and never written. Pull requests are left out. Signed in as a GitHub App, so Diarized asks for issues and nothing else, and only sees the repositories you install it on.

Linear

The issues assigned to you, in your active cycle. Estimates become minutes at a rate you set, because a point means an hour on one team and a week on another. If your team runs no cycles, everything assigned to you is scheduled instead.

Every block explains why it is there

Each scheduled block links to a page explaining why it is where it is: what it was competing with, and what it lost to.

Important work wins the better slot

An important task takes the better slot even when a shorter one would have filled the gap more neatly.

Export everything, or delete everything

Export everything as a file, or delete the account and everything attached to it, without asking anyone.

One plan, thirty days free

A card goes on at the start, you get thirty days of the whole product, and nothing is charged until they are up. After that it is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year. There is no free tier: it went on 2026-08-16, and the trial replaced it. This entry used to promise that nothing working today would move behind the paywall. On 2026-08-14, while there were still two plans, two things did: scheduling into weekends, and choosing how work is ordered. Saying so here is the least we owe anyone who read the old promise. Push moved the other way on the same day, from paid to everyone, which is the trade, though it is not for us to say it was a fair one. Setting your own working hours was never gated, because a scheduler pointed at the wrong hours is wrong rather than limited. Neither was the page explaining why each block landed where it did. That one is the whole point of Diarized and is not for sale.

Live on Pro

Working now, on the paid plan.

Not todayPro

One click on a block pushes that task past today and lets the rest of the week absorb it. Before this the only honest options were to finish it or to leave it sitting there looking at you. Nothing is completed and nothing changes in the app the task came from. All that moves is the earliest day it may be booked.

This needs longerPro

Add half an hour to a task from its block, without opening the app it came from. Most of the time you only find out an estimate was wrong while you are sitting in the block being wrong about it. The new length is kept here, and forgotten the moment you change the estimate at source, so fixing it properly always wins over a correction made weeks ago from a calendar.

Not before a datePro

Some work cannot start until something else lands, and a due date means the opposite. A task can now carry the earliest day it may be booked, and is left alone until then rather than pulled forward into the first gap that fits.

Weekend schedulingPro

Work can be placed into Saturday and Sunday when you ask for it. Setting your own start and end times is free on both plans, because a scheduler pointed at the wrong hours is wrong rather than limited. Working outside them at all is the paid part. This was free until 2026-08-14 and is not any more.

Your own ordering and deadline rulesPro

Order by deadline or by pressure instead of by priority, and choose whether work that cannot be finished in time is scheduled anyway or left off with the deadline as the reason. Free uses priority and schedules late work anyway, which is the answer most people would pick. Also free until 2026-08-14.

Room between one block and the nextPro

One block used to end at 11:00 and the next start at 11:00, which reads fine in a calendar and is not how a day works. You can now say how much room to leave, from five minutes to write the notes up to half an hour to get across town, and it is left after every block and after every meeting. The gap is free time rather than part of the task, and your day still starts at the hour you set.

Spread the week out, or finish it earlyPro

Blocks were packed into the earliest slots that fit, which finishes the week early and makes Monday the heaviest day. You can now have the same work levelled across the days you have instead. Work with a deadline is still booked in time either way: a calendar that is beautifully even and makes you late is worse than a front-loaded one.

Working on

Being built right now.

Microsoft verification

The same for Microsoft accounts. It requires a registered company, which is the part still in progress.

Planned

Chosen, in this order, not started.

Tasks that already have a start time stay at that timePaid plan when it ships

If a task carries a real start time (not a due date, an actual "this happens at 09:00"), it should be booked at 09:00 rather than dropped into the next free slot. Today that time is ignored and the task is placed wherever it fits, which is surprising in the one case where you had already made the decision. The care is in telling a start time apart from a deadline: most task apps use one field for both, and reading a 5pm deadline as a 5pm appointment would book your evening for you.

Long tasks over more than one sittingPaid plan when it ships

A four-hour task needs a four-hour gap today, so on a busy week it is not booked at all. It should become three sittings across three days, with a shortest useful length so nothing lands as a pointless ten minutes. The care is in telling your second sitting apart from an accidental copy: get that wrong and we delete a block you wanted, so this one is being done slowly.

Different working hours for different kinds of workPaid plan when it ships

One set of working hours covers every task, so writing and expenses compete for the same morning. You will be able to keep deep work before lunch and let admin fall anywhere, without moving either by hand.

Microsoft Planner

The next one to build, because it is the cheapest by a distance. Planner is part of Microsoft 365, so the sign-in and the plumbing are the ones Outlook and To Do already use. Planner keeps due dates and buckets but has no duration field of its own, so length will come from a label the way it does in To Do. Most people meet Planner as the Tasks tab in Teams without ever hearing the name.

Looked at, not planned

Ruled out, with the reason.

Slack, Teams, Gmail and Outlook mail

A message becomes a task only if there is somewhere to keep it, and Diarized deliberately keeps no task list of its own. Diarized keeps no tasks of its own. Yours stay in Todoist or Linear or wherever they already live, and all we produce is calendar blocks. A starred email has no home in that, and building one would mean becoming a task manager, which is the one thing this deliberately is not. Send it to your task app and we will schedule it from there. Every one of the eleven has an email or a share sheet for exactly this.

OneNote

The checkboxes really are readable: Microsoft Graph returns them as to-do tags in the page's HTML. The problem is what a page cannot hold: no due date, no priority, no duration, so every block would be a guess. Worse, nothing can search a notebook by content, so finding your checkboxes means downloading every page every time we sync. And the daily-list habit this would be for (carrying yesterday's unfinished lines onto today's page) reads to us as the old task vanishing and a new one appearing, so a task you have been carrying for a week would get a fresh block, and lose its old one, every morning. If you keep your day in OneNote, flagging a line as an Outlook task puts it in Microsoft To Do, which we already read.

Superlist

There is no public way to read your tasks out of Superlist. It has been an open request on their own board since 2023.

Apple Reminders

Apple changed Reminders in iOS 13 to a format no outside server can read. Reaching it would mean shipping a Mac or iPhone app to sit alongside this one, which is a different product. The good news is that your own iPhone can do a rough version of this today, free, with Shortcuts.

Apple Calendar

Writing blocks into iCloud means handing us a password to store. There is no sign-in like Google's or Microsoft's. We looked hard at this and decided against it: it would be the only credential Diarized ever holds, for one calendar among several we already support properly. Blocks written to Google or Outlook still show up in the Apple Calendar app if you have those accounts on your Mac or phone.

iCloud calendars as busy time

This one is genuinely easy: iCloud can publish a calendar as a read-only link with no password at all, and reading it would stop us booking over your Apple meetings. It is here rather than in Planned because it was chosen against, not because it is hard. Ask for it if you want it and that decision can change.

Things 3

There is no way to read Things from a server. Everything Things offers other apps (its links, Shortcuts, AppleScript) runs on your own Mac, so it would need a companion app sitting on your machine while Diarized works in the background whether you are there or not.

Trello

Re-checked 11 August 2026 and the answer has not moved. Trello's API still signs in the old way: a key and a token that never expires, rather than the modern flow every other app here uses. Atlassian proposed replacing it in March 2025 and it has still not shipped. A token with no expiry, sitting in our database, is a worse thing to hold on your behalf than the integration is worth. Cards also carry no duration or priority for us to read. If OAuth 2 lands, this becomes an easy yes.

Any.do

Any.do has no public API. Every integration it offers runs through Zapier, Make or a similar middleman, and connecting means pasting an API key rather than signing in. Those integrations are also part of Any.do's own paid plans, so this would only work for people already paying them. We would rather not sell you something that needs a second subscription to work.

Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk and other CRMs

These have tasks, and we could read them. But a CRM task is chase Acme about the renewal, a five-minute follow-up attached to a deal, not a block of work to build a day around. Ask us if you disagree; the APIs are not the obstacle.
