Boarder vs Focus Time

Both stand on calendar apps. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Focus Time automates calendar-based focus scheduling and keeps blocks updated as meetings change. The free Starter plan covers weekday scheduling, while Advanced adds event and rule controls for $5 a month.
