Did you actually do what you think you did today? Most people can't say. Daibrief can tell you. You start the day with a plan. By 6 pm, half of it's untouched, and you can't explain where the hours went. To-do lists don't fix this. Time blocking doesn't either. Daibrief does without making you track anything. Every 30 minutes (or 15, or 60, your call), a notification pops up. Tap it, speak for a few seconds, done. No typing, no categorizing, no starting or stopping timers. By the end of the day, Daibrief's AI turns every check-in into an honest summary of what you actually worked on. FEATURES: • AI Daily Summary Every evening, get a clear breakdown of how your day really went not a guess, not a vibe, the actual record built from your own voice check-ins. • Voice Check-Ins Tap the notification, speak, dismiss. Under 5 seconds. No app to open, no fields to fill in. • Focus Score & Goal Alignment See how your day stacked up against what you set out to do and how focused you actually were. • Weekly Trends Spot the patterns you can't see day to day where your time keeps leaking, and when you're sharpest. • Working Hours Mode Daibrief only checks in during your work hours. Set it once, then it stays out of your evenings and weekends. • Custom Check-In Intervals Choose 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals depending on how granular you want your day tracked. That's Daibrief, the first honest picture of your workday, built from a few seconds of talking, not hours of manual tracking. If you've ever ended a day wondering "what did I even do," this is the app that answers that question for you. Try free for 7 days. Then $9.99/month or $79.99/year.
