Henji (很急-截图转日程) alternative: SnapCal or Henji?

In the China App Store, 很急-截图转日程 (Henji) ranks second for the Chinese query "截图 识别 日程 app", one place above SnapCal.

Short answer

Henji is a light one-time purchase (CNY 3.00 in the China store): upload a screenshot or text, it reads time, place and content, decides whether it is an event or a to-do and writes it to the system calendar or Reminders in one tap, keeps history on the device, and its page says recognized content is only shown locally and not uploaded. SnapCal starts free (10 recognitions a month), shows a confirmation screen where every field is editable, writes to the iPhone calendar and can sync to Feishu Calendar; it does not tell events from to-dos. Want to pay once with events and to-dos split automatically: Henji. Want to try free and need Feishu: SnapCal. Third-party facts checked 2026-10-16.

Three things to test yourself before you commit

Moving over from Henji (很急) screenshot-to-schedule, or using both

Henji writes events to the system calendar and to-dos to Reminders, so what is already written needs no migration. To switch to SnapCal, finish any records not yet written in Henji, then install SnapCal and use the share sheet or Recent Screenshots for new event screenshots. SnapCal creates calendar events only, not reminders, so you can keep Henji for to-do screenshots.
