I just heard about the Space planner app from Josh Ginter’s blog .
Space App
As a Things user, this looks very interesting. It seems to align with MacSparky’s productivity field guide concepts in that it incorporates multi scale planning (quarterly, weekly, daily) with time blocking capabilities.
I’m curious what others think and how it compares to Things or Noteplan. The price seems reasonable.

Thanks for the tip. I notice it currently only supports Google and Microsoft/Outlook calendar sync though iCloud calendar sync is promised “soon”
The change is deeper than that, the developer announced that the calendar implementation would change to use Apple’s built in calendar framework, so it would natively use any calendar that you can use in your device. This is a huge bonus for work accounts, where linking your MS calendar to 3d party apps is forbidden, but macOS and iOS is allowed.

Just updating this thread in case someone finds it helpful – the Calendar integration now runs through Apple’s calendar subsystem so it can access al your calendars, and it’s sweet because it includes a weekly planning view.
Just wanted to chime in that the app is now called “Sonto” (Space being a real impossible name these days).
I find it very intriguing, at the very first look it is like Things meets Calendar --so the app relies on you liking time blocking) but also adds a higher goal-setting approach so that you are guided through your goals and objectives each day, week, quarter and year. I have tried others (Opus One being my favorite until then) and am even creating my own, but Sonto is a one time payment and is extremely pleasant to use, very well thought out.
My only complaint is that while Sonto perfectly integrates with Apple Calendars it doesn’t has the same integration with Reminders, so one has to decide.
