## What is Dayward?

A thought for today. Something good ahead.

Dayward is a calm, private place for a small daily ritual: one thoughtful quote, the days you’re looking forward to, and a gentle view of the light where you are. No feed, no streaks, nothing to keep up with.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
• One quote each day from essays, letters, speeches and books, from Marcus Aurelius and Emerson to Tagore and Jane Austen
• Every quote credited to its author and source
• Save favourites, browse by theme (courage, resilience, purpose, growth, hope, wisdom) or shuffle for a different word
• Add quotes of your own
• Share a quote as a beautiful image

SOMETHING GOOD AHEAD
• Count down to trips, birthdays, celebrations and milestones in calendar days
• Pick a symbol and a colour, or use a photo of your own
• Optional reminders on the day, a day before, or a week before
• See what’s next on Today, or look back at what’s passed

YOUR SKY, TODAY
• Today’s daylight, sunrise, sunset, first and last light, and golden hour
• Moon phase, moonrise and moonset, and the next full and new moon
• The shape of the year’s light and the coming solstices and equinoxes
• Calculated on your device for your location or a place you choose

WIDGETS
• Daily thought, Countdown, Today and ahead, and Today’s sky for your Home Screen
• A countdown for your Lock Screen

MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
• A sidebar layout and wider cards on iPad
• Light and dark appearance, three themes, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver
• Optional sync between your devices through your private iCloud
• Export and import backups whenever you like

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your countdowns and quotes stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Location is optional, rounded to about a kilometre, and used only for Sky.

Dayward is free, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.
