TimeTree does one thing very well: a free shared calendar families and couples can see and comment on, with per-event chat. Yuki starts elsewhere — instead of typing events in, it fills the calendar from your inbox and adds trips, expenses and tasks on top. Want a clean, manually-kept shared calendar? TimeTree. Want it to fill itself and carry money and to-dos too? Yuki.

Frequently asked questions
Does Yuki replace TimeTree?
It depends on what you use TimeTree for. If TimeTree is your shared calendar, Yuki can play that role while also building events automatically from your inbox and adding trips, expenses and tasks. But TimeTree's per-event chat and memos are things Yuki doesn't offer, so some groups may prefer to keep it.
Can TimeTree create events from my email automatically?
Not from your inbox. TimeTree can scan a flyer or photo to pull out event details, and it suggests events with AI, but it doesn't connect to your Gmail — you and your group still add events yourselves. Yuki's core difference is that it reads the confirmations, receipts and invites in your email and creates the events, trips and expenses for you.
Is Yuki free like TimeTree?
Yes, Yuki is free on iOS and Android. TimeTree is also free, with an optional premium tier. The bigger difference is scope: TimeTree focuses on the shared calendar, while Yuki covers calendar, trips, expenses, tasks and sharing together.
