■ This is for you if you want to: ■ - Focus on what you want to do, not just what you have to. - Dive deep into work, study, reading, or creative work at your own pace. - Bring your to-do list, habit tracker, and focus timer into one beautiful space. - Practice single-tasking—one thing at a time, with full attention. - Build positive routines through habit stacking. [ Play Your Day ] Playlyst is a to-do, habit, and focus app to help you craft your day and immerse yourself in the now. Line up what you want to do today like choosing your favorite songs, then hit "PLAY." Surrounded by soothing music, you fall naturally into focus—one task at a time. From what you want to do (reading, hobbies) to what you need to do (work, chores) and your daily routines, it's a calm, positive way to manage tasks at your own pace. ■ 3 Simple Steps to Design Your Day ■ Inbox: Toss in whatever comes to mind Articles to read later, movies for the weekend, an idea on your way home, your next trip. Drop it all into your Inbox and clear your head. Today: Curate your playlist for the day Pick from your Inbox and habits based on your mood, or add something on the spot. Design your own "playlist for today." Play: Immerse yourself Tap PLAY and a beautiful full-screen player opens. It shows only "what to do right now," so a mountain of tasks never rushes or distracts you. With comforting music, your focus time begins. ■ Mindful Features that Fit Your Life ■ Now Playing: One thing at a time Instead of a rushing countdown, we chose a gentle "count-up" that quietly records your focused time. Built-in music (Jukebox) helps you concentrate, and you can take a Break anytime—like brewing a cup of tea. Loop: Your routines, at your own rhythm Morning stretches, 15 minutes of reading before bed, a weekly yoga session—put your routines into "Loop." They softly appear on your list on the days you choose. Playlog: A small sense of accomplishment What you finished and the time you focused become a single, beautiful poster (Result). Add a "Word of the Day," look back in your calendar, or share it. Reviewing your day becomes something to look forward to. Widgets: A quick tap from your home screen Complete "what's now" with one tap from your home screen widget—no need to open the app. Your day's list stays in view, so you never lose sight of what matters. ■ A Sleek, Capable To-Do App ■ Beyond "playing," it works beautifully as a standard to-do app, with all the essentials: Subtasks & Notes: Break big tasks into steps; keep text and URLs tidy in notes. Link Cards: Paste a URL and it becomes a beautiful card with a thumbnail—your "read later" list, neatly organized. Recurring Tasks: Daily, weekly, monthly, or "every X days"—at your own pace. Natural Language: Type "shopping tomorrow" to set the due date instantly. Schedule: See dated plans together, sorted by date, including past ones. Customization: Set theme colors and background photos per list. From just getting things done, to playing your day. Why not play your day with Playlyst?
