## What is Daily Planner?

Plan your day with the time-blocking method — the proven approach focused people use to get more done in less time.

DayPlan turns your empty calendar into a clear plan. Drag tasks onto a visual hourly timeline, group them by colored category, and see exactly where your time goes.

CORE FEATURES
• Day timeline with drag-and-drop scheduling
• Recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)
• Routines — save reusable templates and insert them with one tap
• Colored categories for work, fitness, personal, and more
• Auto-Schedule — fills free time slots intelligently with your inbox tasks
• Local reminders for upcoming tasks
• Apple Calendar integration (read-only) — see appointments alongside tasks
• Lock-screen Live Activity for the running task
• Siri & Shortcuts: "Add a task to DayPlan"
• Works completely offline

PREMIUM
• iCloud sync across all your devices
• Week and Month views for long-term planning
• "Available Time" metric on the day overview
• Custom categories with your own colors and icons
• Day notes
• Home Screen widgets
• Apple Watch complication

PRIVACY-FIRST
DayPlan is built data-minimal: no account, no sign-in, no advertising, no tracking, no analytics SDKs. All tasks are stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, data is mirrored only into your own private iCloud database — we have no access.

PRICING
• Monthly subscription
• Yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial
• Lifetime — one-time payment, no subscription

Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled 24 hours before the end of the current period in your Apple ID settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-31

More room for your day
The day view is tidier: the timeline starts noticeably higher up, your progress sits as a bar right under the date, and the paging arrows moved into the week strip. In the Inbox, every task now shows its category name instead of just a coloured dot.

Move tasks without hunting for a menu
Pick up a task and two targets appear along the bottom: "To tomorrow" and "Delete". Short blocks can be moved again too, instead of being stretched by accident.

Fixed
• The Live Activity started a new one after every app relaunch — eventually none appeared at all.
• The widget kept showing the previous day's numbers.
• The carry-over banner covered the date row in week and month view.
• The day and month arrows now have VoiceOver labels.
• On large displays the premium screen makes proper use of the space.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-18

Better readability, everywhere
  Buttons, chips and highlights across the app now meet WCAG AA contrast —
  especially with the lighter accent colours like Gold, Teal and Rose Gold,
  where text was hard to read before.

  Siri & Shortcuts
  Add tasks or open your day hands-free. Find every shortcut in Settings.

  Six new accent colours
  Graphite, Rose Gold, Lavender, Gold, Sky and Crimson.
  
  Quick actions on your timeline
  Long-press any time block to untimebox it, move it to tomorrow or another
  day, edit or delete — without opening the editor.

  Polished throughout
  A redesigned Design section, new empty states, and a Support section to
  reach us or rate the app.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-16

Small refinements and improvements to keep your day-planning smooth. Thanks for planning your days with us!

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-16

- fresh welcome flow that gets you planning in seconds
  - clearer, simpler Premium experience
  - smoother performance, polish, and bug fixes throughout
  
  Thanks for planning your days with DayPlan! Have an idea or found a bug? We read every message.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-11

Polish update focused on the task editor — every line below comes
  straight from your first-week feedback.

  • Schedule tasks by end time — pick between duration ("90 min") or end
    time ("Ends 18:30"), whichever fits your style.

  • More flexible recurrence — beyond Daily / Weekly, you can now pick
    Weekdays, Weekends, or any custom set of days (e.g. Mon / Wed / Fri).
    Monthly also supports "1st Saturday of the month" or "Last Friday of
    the month" patterns.

  • Recurring tasks complete on the right day — marking a future
    occurrence as done now affects that specific day, not the anchor.

  • Time picker feels right — stays open while your finger is on it,
    closes only after you lift off. End time can no longer accidentally
    land before the start time.

  • Tap anywhere to dismiss the keyboard — works on pills, buttons, and
    empty areas throughout the editor.

  • Plenty of small refinements: clearer recurrence label, sharper
    Premium upsell, cleaner time picker layout.
