Your entire life — tasks, habits, focus, finances, bills, and who owes you what — beautifully organized in one app. Today is the all-in-one daily planner built for people tired of juggling five different apps and paying five different subscriptions. One app. One place. Everything. DAILY PLANNER - Organize your day into Morning, Afternoon, and Evening sections — or switch to Timeline view for a clean chronological breakdown. - Add tasks, habits, and all-day events with a single tap. - Set scheduled times, durations, and recurrence (daily, weekly, and more). - Swipe between days or jump to any date on the weekly strip. - Drag, drop, and multi-select tasks to manage your day your way. HABIT TRACKING - Build streaks, visualize progress with 7-day trend charts, and review your full history on a monthly calendar. - Link habits to Apple Health — workouts like running, cycling, and swimming auto-complete habits the moment you finish. - Set daily goals and monitor how consistently you show up. FOCUS SESSIONS - Start a Pomodoro-style focus timer directly from any task. - Choose your background music — Lo-Fi, Nature Sounds, White Noise, Rain, or Classical — to stay in the zone. - A daily motivational quote greets you every session. - Live Activity on your Dynamic Island keeps your timer front and center.

Split the expense, tag who owes you, and track every payment in one place. - Generate a professional PDF statement — itemized transactions, payments received, final balance — and send it straight to them. - Because "I'll pay you back" deserves a paper trail.
