## What is DAYLine?

DAYLine is a cute, minimal time-management app that puts your "planned day" and your "real day" side by side. See how the plan you made in the morning actually played out, and where your time went. ฅ^•ω•^ฅ

▪ Plan vs Actual
Swipe left and right to move between today's plan (PLAN) and what you really did (ACTUAL). Completing a plan copies it to your actual log with the same time, and adjusting it to the real start and end times compares it to the plan right away. A setting can also log the moment you check a plan as its actual time.

▪ Look Back on the Month with the Calendar
The more plans you finish, the deeper each day is colored. You can show how many todos each day has (turn it off in Settings). Tap a day to see its plan and actual as time bars side by side, along with how far they differed, such as "started 10 min late" or "ended 5 min early". Tap a bar to stretch the timeline out to the minute.

▪ Expand a Day and Save It as a Photo
Open any day in a larger view to compare plan and actual at a glance, then save it to Photos as a square image to share or keep.

▪ Routines You Can Finish, Not Just Delete
Repeat plans on chosen weekdays, add tags like #workout, and plan ahead on any date. When a routine has run its course, mark it Complete to keep it instead of deleting it, with a little celebration. See every routine, in progress or completed, under Routines in the side menu.

▪ Stats for Every Plan
Plans with a time get line graphs of start and end times: the gap between planned (dotted) and actual (solid) reveals your own patterns. Plans without a time, like a plain to-do, get a grass-style grid that fills in as you check them off day by day.

▪ Reminders That Build the Habit
* Morning start: a nudge at the time of your day's first plan
* Routine reminders: turn them on only for the routines you want
* Come-back nudge: one gentle reminder if you haven't opened the app for two days
Everything runs on your device and you can switch each one off in Settings.

▪ Widgets for Every Need
* Today's Plan: check what's left right on your Home Screen
* Plan vs Actual: compare planned and actual times side by side
* Pinned Goal: your pinned goal on one long, pretty card. It fits on the Lock Screen too
* Monthly Goals: your goals and their progress at a glance
Widgets follow the colors and shapes of the theme you choose.

▪ Monthly Goals
Write several goals for the month and check each one off with a sparkling check when you get there. Pin your most important goal to keep it at the top of the screen.

▪ Live Activities · Dynamic Island
See what you're doing right now, and what's next, live on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

▪ Cute Themes
Choose from Default, Pink, and Sky. Check marks turn into hearts in Pink and clouds in Sky. Light, Dark, and System modes are supported as well.

▪ Privacy First
All your records stay on your device. No sign-up, no server, and no data sent anywhere. Export and import your data to back it up or move to a new phone.

• Per-routine reminders: turn on "Reminder" in a routine's detail screen to be nudged at its start time on every repeat day.
• Come-back nudge: one reminder if you haven't opened the app for two days.
• The morning and come-back reminders can be switched on or off in Settings.

► Save a day as a photo
• Tap the expand icon on a day in the calendar to see plan and actual side by side in a larger view.
• Tap the download icon at the top right to save it to Photos as a square image. The background follows your theme (Default, Pink, Sky, including Dark).

► Grass tracking for plans without a time
• Plans with a time get line graphs of start and end times in Plan stats.
• Plans without a time (TODO) fill one cell per day like grass to track completion, starting with a month of empty cells and adding a cell per day after that.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-05

A small update to make the app even more comfortable to use! ฅ^･ω･^ฅ

► Use Check Time as Actual
• Added a setting that automatically converts the time you check off into the actual execution time. Turn it on in Settings, and the moment you check a plan becomes its ACTUAL start time — the end time shifts too, keeping the same length as originally planned.

► Edit Routines (Recurring Plans)
• Tapping a recurring plan now opens one screen where you can change its name, time, tags, and repeat days all at once. (Applies from that day onward.)
• Changed the default for new recurring plans to repeat every day.

► Tag Suggestions
• Previously used tags now show up under the tag field, so you can add them with a single tap.

► iPad Support
• The app now displays at the correct size on iPad.

► Settings Screen
• Added a new "Settings" menu in the sidebar, and moved Language, the check-time toggle, and Reset Data into it.

► Leave a Review
• You can now go straight to the App Store review page from the sidebar.
• App reviews are a huge help to the developer!

► Widget Improvements
• When Today's Plan or Plan vs Actual has too many items to fit, they now prioritize items close to the current time. (Today's Plan also prioritizes items you haven't checked off yet.)

► Other
• Editing a plan or actual entry now auto-scrolls so the keyboard doesn't cover it.
• Fixed the cursor not landing in the right field when editing an entry by tapping its activity.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-25

｡*ﾟ* Lots has changed in this update!  ฅ^･ω･^ฅ

• "How to Use" added to the menu
• Japanese added (한국어 · English · 中文 · 日本語)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-21

｡*ﾟ* Feature Updates ^･ω･^

When you add a plan without entering a time, a title called "MEMO" is now automatically created. It's now easier and more convenient to add notes!

When you enter only a time without any content, a cat appears. This makes it quick and easy to use when you just want to keep track of a time. ฅ Meow ฅ

When you complete a TODO, it is automatically converted into a checkbox and saved on the ACTUAL screen.

｡*ﾟ Bug Fixes ◞‸◟

Added a "valid time check" to the automatic number processing logic. If a two-digit number isn't a valid time, the last digit is treated as minutes. For example, entering 66 as a title is automatically converted to 06:06.

Fixed an issue where adding a plan could be easily canceled because the touch area was too small.

Fixed a bug where a plan wasn't created when the time/end field lost focus. We now distinguish between moving to another field in the row and tapping the empty background, so simply tapping the background can add a plan.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-14
