DayPact
Read full descriptionHide full description
Plan first. Then execute. DayPact is a daily time-blocking planner built around one simple idea: deciding what to do and doing it are different jobs. Plan your day in 30-minute time blocks. Then, when it’s time to work, DayPact shows you exactly what you committed to doing and when you’re done. No giant task list. No constant reprioritizing. Just work through your day one block at a time. DayPact gives you: • Simple time blocking — turn vague intentions into a concrete daily schedule. • A visual daily timeline — see your day at a glance and know what’s happening now. • Up to three jobs in one time slot — for work that genuinely happens in parallel. • Now view — see your current block, time remaining, and what comes next. • Home Screen widgets — glance at what you’re doing now, what’s next, and what remains in your day without opening the app. • Block reminders — get a simple notification 5 minutes before your next block begins. • Done, Partial, or Skipped — record what actually happened without scores, streaks, or guilt. • Quick replanning — move or resize blocks when the day changes. • A deliberately small planning window — focus on today and the days immediately around it instead of managing your entire life in a calendar. • Private by default — no account, ads, analytics, or backend. Your plan stays on your device. DayPact isn’t another project manager or endless to-do list. It’s an execution layer for your day: decide how you’ll spend your time, then stop deciding and get on with it. Plan the day. Work the block. Move on.
