Daily Stride is a deeply personal daily planner built around the way iOS actually works — with a full Apple Watch companion, Live Activities, geofenced location reminders, and Home Screen widgets that let you manage your day without ever unlocking your phone. Most productivity apps sit on your Home Screen collecting dust. Daily Stride lives everywhere: your Watch, your Lock Screen, your Dynamic Island, and your widgets — so your goals are always one glance away, never buried in a list. Deep iOS & watchOS Integration • Apple Watch Companion App — A full native Watch app shows your today's tasks and current streak on your wrist. Create new tasks on the go using the built-in Watch keyboard, or check today's progress at a glance. Dynamic complications keep your streak visible on any watch face. • Live Activities & Dynamic Island — Pin your current active task directly to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. As you work through your day, your focus stays front and centre without opening the app. • Home Screen & Lock Screen Widgets — Multiple widget sizes (small, medium, large) display your daily progress and a dedicated Timeslots widget. Supports Siri Shortcuts so you can tick off tasks directly from your Home Screen.
