Lifeable vs ByDesign

Lifeable is an AI life organizer for your personal life. ByDesign is an all-in-one planner with tasks, calendar, notes and habits, plus AI scheduling and goal plans. ByDesign and Lifeable are the two closest in spirit: both say "one app for your life" and both connect to Claude or ChatGPT. ByDesign puts its AI to work on scheduling your week. Lifeable keeps the AI as a way to add and ask, and puts the breadth elsewhere — money, bills, family dates, trips, people and things.

Choose ByDesign if…
  • You want an AI to plan your week for you
  • A drag-and-drop planning canvas is how you think
  • Notes and goals matter more than money and dates
Choose Lifeable if…
  • You want bills, birthdays and the things you own in the same app
  • You'd rather the AI stays outside, reading and adding only when you ask
  • You want a free plan that includes everything

Using both? Closest cousins: pick by whether your week is mostly scheduling, or mostly life admin.
