Solarday helps you find a little more meaning and delight in ordinary days. It's for people who want to feel calmer while still making progress in life. If your to-do list has become some mindless alternate universe not in touch with how you actually live your days, Solarday might... might just be that space you're yearning for. I built Solarday for myself, so, of course, I use it every day and love it. Naturally, I'm biased. But here's what others say: "Beautiful, calming design." — Dense Discovery newsletter, Issue #378 "You can tell the app that you'll do one thing at a time, that you don't need to do everything perfectly, or that you'll prioritize what matters most." — MacMagazine, Brazil (translated) "Plan your days with an app so beautiful you can show it off to others." — Mac O'Clock From Solarday's users: "Stable, serene option for tracking tasks" "Pretty, simple and calming" "This app helped me think in buckets that brought more alignment than a to-do list ever could. Absolutely genius." "It's beautiful and well-thought out and I would pay twice what they aren't asking for. 5 stars." "Been looking for an app like this for a very long time" Solarday brings daily productivity, intention setting, weather forecasts, aspirations for the future, and daily journaling into one place, while still trying to do very little. Solarday was App of the Day in 2026 in over 100 countries. If you've read this far, that's all you need to know. But, for folks who are very particular about the details, here's nearly everything that Solarday does: – Do & focus: Add things to Do. Divide the space up with a Divider (or two), and fold one away to see the most immediate Dos. Set focus timers, and check in on progress from the Dynamic Island and Live Activities on the Lock Screen. – Day's Intention: Set an Intention to start each day. A positive affirmation, or any brief sentiment that guides the day ahead for you. Write your own, pick one from the library, or let Apple Intelligence generate one privately on-device. – Skies, by the hour: Weather forecasts for the rest of us. Drag to see 24 hours ahead. Know the moon, sun, and rain. Tonight's illumination, the feel of the air, whether you'll need sunscreen or an umbrella. – Future: Everything that isn't for today goes in Future. Ideas, little notes to self, things on the horizon. Move them into Do if and when the time is right, or just let them brew. – Reflect privately: To close the day. What went well? What are you grateful for? What did you observe today? Make it deep, or keep it brief. Private & encrypted, so only you can ever see your Reflections. – Themes: Basic and Sunrise-Sunset are included. Five more — London Fog, Forest, Firehorse, Wild Blueberry, and Nº 2 Pencil — are available to buy, for different moods or seasons. Each theme has light & dark variants that adapt based on your iPhone's Appearance. – Widgets: Glance at your Intention, the moon, the day, and more from the Lock Screen & Home Screen. – Siri AI: Say "Add a Do in Solarday" and Siri AI asks what it is and how long it should take, then saves it without opening the app. "Save to Future in Solarday", "Set my Intention in Solarday", and "Reflect in Solarday" work the same way. One-step phrases like "Add a task to Solarday called…" or "Complete (task name) in Solarday" also work. Solarday's actions also appear in Spotlight and the Shortcuts app. – Controls: Add a Do, a Future note, or Reflect from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button (iOS 18 and later). And: – Privacy: Everything you write is encrypted on your iPhone (AES-256) and in iCloud. Only you can ever read it. – Seamless iCloud sync – Works offline: Full functionality without internet (say, on a flight). Syncs quietly when you're back. Simple, noise-free interface. No ads.
