About

Daily Planner

Read full description

Daily Planner is a calm notebook for the day in front of you. Paper tones, one page per day, and room to think. ONE FOCUS A DAY Pin the single thing that matters. A new focus only replaces the previous focus of the same day, so the page never fills up with priorities. FOUR KINDS OF ENTRY A to-do, a free note, something left from the day, or a letter to your future self. Progress is counted from open to-dos only, so a note never turns into a chore. DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR Move between four calendar views. Touch any day to open its page, and search every note you have written. EXPLORE - SMALL TOOLS FOR REAL DAYS Move, split, let go: carry an unfinished task to another day, break it into two to eight steps, or set it down on purpose. Nothing is deleted, and what you let go can be taken back. Match your energy: choose how you feel and how much time you have. Up to three suggestions are worked out from the effort and duration you entered yourself - nothing is estimated for you. A page from the past: revisit the note from a month ago and the one from last week, then write down what has changed since. Letters to yourself: leave a few lines for a future date. The letter stays hidden from search, the calendar and the editor until that day arrives on the device clock. Your ideas, growing: see the tasks and follow-up entries that grew out of one note, in date order. Weekly reflection: what you completed, what is still waiting, what you postponed again, and what stayed with you. YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Everything is saved locally, with no account and no sync between devices. Your notes are never uploaded: the only request the app makes is a version check that carries no data of yours. Letters open inside the app on their date; no notification or email is sent. The app is supported by ads. Turkish and English are both fully supported.
