Looking for a Sorted 3 Alternative?
Written By The Aftertone Team
Why people leave Sorted 3
Sorted 3's hyper-scheduling is clever -- you schedule and sequence your entire day with estimated durations. The ceiling is that it's a daily tool. No weekly view, no AI that learns from your patterns, and no weekly report on whether your scheduling translates into real productivity.
How to cancel Sorted 3
Sorted 3 uses Apple in-app purchases. Cancel via App Store: go to your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, find Sorted and cancel.

What to look for in a Sorted 3 alternative
The right replacement depends on why Sorted 3 stopped working for you:
If you need better calendar integration. Look for a tool where tasks and calendar live in the same view — not two separate apps you have to manually sync.
If you need less manual overhead. Auto-scheduling (where the tool suggests a plan and you confirm it) cuts the time spent maintaining your system. Avoid tools that reschedule without your input.
If you need clearer output data. A weekly report that shows whether your protected time produced real work is more useful than a productivity score or a streak counter.
What Aftertone does differently
Aftertone handles the week, not just the day. Auto Plan schedules your week intelligently. The weekly report shows your actual flow hours and peak day -- not just whether today was scheduled, but whether the week produced real work.
How to get your data out of Sorted 3
Step 1. Sorted 3 doesn't have a CSV export. Copy your task list from the app and paste into Aftertone's Smart Capture.
Step 2. Aftertone reads the plain text and structures it automatically.
Sorted 3 is a one-time purchase — no cancellation needed while you trial Aftertone.
