## What is Daily Planner?

A daily planner that feels like making a playlist. Drop in your morning routine, slide things around, and watch your day take shape — no pressure, no guilt, just a gentle plan that moves with you.

Couchday is the daily planner for people who want structure without the stress. Set day markers like Morning, Noon, and Evening to anchor your schedule, then fill in activities that flow between them. When plans change — and they always do — your timeline adjusts automatically. No red alerts. No overdue shame. Just a calm, living schedule that reshapes around your real day.

Built your perfect morning once? Save it as a template and drop it in tomorrow. Forgot to open the app for a week? It welcomes you back fresh — no streak broken, no guilt trip. This is a daily planner that works the way you actually live.

### 1/5 — Very promising

*2018-06-18*

The concept and simplicity is exactly what I was looking for. The app though appears to only be half written. I can create tasks, with triggers and rewards, but can find no means of ticking them off or tracking progress.  I tried to contact the developer before writing this review but both the support and website link are duds.

**Developer response:** Hi ChrisOmre, you can only tick off habits for the current day or in the past. So when you start a new habit there is much you can do. Once you progress and come back daily to tick off habits it will make sense. However, there could also be a problem with the app. We haven’t heard about this before but would be happy to look into it.
