Some days don't need a bigger to-do list. They need one place to see all of it — events, tasks, meals, and workouts — without hunting through five apps to find what's actually happening today. Day.ly gathers your whole day into a single, calm view. It's not a calendar replacement. It's a Today screen that shows you everything you're doing, without forcing every task into a time slot it doesn't need. EVERYTHING TODAY, ONE SCROLL - Calendar events pulled straight from your existing calendar - Tasks you can check off right from the Today screen - Meals you've planned for the day, tapped open to the recipe if you saved one - Workouts you've scheduled, on your terms PLAN AHEAD, RELAX TODAY Add tasks, meals, and workouts days, weeks, or months in advance, and let Day.ly hold onto them until the day actually arrives. Bigger, undated ideas live in Projects, so they don't clutter up your Today screen before they're ready. MEALS, WITHOUT THE NIGHTLY SCRAMBLE Plan a week of dinners in advance, glance back at what you made recently to keep some variety, or change the date on a meal you already planned to reuse it. Save a recipe link and Day.ly remembers it for you. WORKOUTS, YOUR WAY Schedule what you're doing and when, without being boxed into someone else's weekly program. Day.ly just needs to know what you're planning. The rest is up to you. CALM BY DESIGN A minimal, uncluttered interface built to lower decision fatigue, not add to it. Day.ly is deliberately wide, not deep; a look at your whole day, not a heavy system for any one part of it. RIGHT AT HOME ON ANY SCREEN Built to fit an iPhone SE without feeling cramped, and just as sharp stretched across a full iPad and looks great in both light and dark mode. A SMALL WAY TO DO GOOD 10% of every Day.ly subscription goes to A21, an organization working to end human trafficking. Try it free for 3 days, then continue with a subscription that gives back.

Quietask is a calm to-do list for people who need to see a task to do it. Your list stays on the Home Screen, your three moments of the day stay on the lock screen, and finishing something takes one swipe. LISTS Keep separate lists for today, errands, home or work, each with its own color. The first screen shows how far you have come in each one. SWIPE TO FINISH Swipe right to complete a task, left to delete it. A light tap in your hand confirms it. Hold a task to lift it, then drag it to where it belongs. THREE MOMENTS Choose up to three things a day you want to be present for: a walk, an hour of deep work, a proper dinner. Pin them to the lock screen and get a reminder before each one. WIDGETS Keep a list on the Home Screen and tick tasks off right in the widget. A small widget shows your three most urgent tasks, and lock screen widgets show your list or your moments. SIRI Say "Add a task in Quietask" to add one without touching the phone. NINE THEMES Four scenic themes, Morning Calm, Evening Glow, Night Stars and Meadow, plus five plain ones. PRIVATE No account, no ads and no subscription. Everything stays on your iPhone and works offline.
