+Dato uses macOS's built-in calendaring system, which syncs seamlessly with Google Calendar, Outlook, and other services. This approach ensures all your calendars are managed centrally by macOS, providing a consistent experience across apps. The Calendar app on macOS is just one of the many apps that utilize this system.

+One Thing is a minimalist note app that sits in the menu bar, displaying a single piece of text like a sticky note. In contrast, One Task is a task management tool that lets you queue multiple tasks, check them off upon completion, and view them one at a time, with a strong emphasis on widgets. While both apps share a focus on simplicity, One Thing is designed for quick, single-note access, whereas One Task is geared towards managing multiple tasks with a more structured approach, similar to the difference between the Notes app and Reminders app.
