Stop doing RTO math in your head. DeskDays is a private tracker for hybrid workers with office-day targets. Set your return-to-office percentage, mark each workday, and see whether you're on pace before the month or quarter surprises you. Office days are a budget. Spend them intentionally: if you're ahead, take tomorrow remote without a second thought. If you're behind, you know now, not at the end of the period. SIMPLE DAILY TRACKING Mark each workday as Office, Remote, Sick, Vacation, or Holiday with a single tap. A color-coded calendar shows your full attendance history at a glance. FLEXIBLE REPORTING Track by month, calendar quarter, or fiscal quarter. Navigate between periods to review past performance or plan ahead. Choose whether sick days count against your target or not. KNOW YOUR STATUS INSTANTLY Your progress card shows your current attendance percentage, days logged, and days remaining this period. An on-track indicator updates in real time so there are no surprises at end of month. WIDGETS & COMPLICATIONS Add a home screen widget or Apple Watch complication to see your status without opening the app. PRO: AUTOMATIC CHECK-IN Prefer to log each day manually? One tap does it. Prefer hands-off? Opt into any of four private auto-check-in triggers you set up yourself — a WiFi network, a geofenced location, an NFC tag, or a QR code. Use one, use all four, or none. PRO: PROGRESS CHART See exactly how many office days you still need and whether you're ahead or behind pace, visualized against your target for the period. PRO: APPLE WATCH Glance at your attendance status and check in right from your wrist without touching your phone. PRO: SMART REMINDERS Daily notifications remind you to log attendance. Enable the fallback and DeskDays automatically logs you as remote at end of day if you haven't checked in — so your records stay complete. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Mark attendance or check your progress with Siri or the Shortcuts app. Automate your morning routine. PRIVACY FIRST Zero analytics. Zero tracking. Zero network calls. Zero third-party SDKs. All your attendance data lives on your device. No account required. No server. No cloud sync. Free for everyday tracking. Unlock Pro with a monthly or yearly subscription (2-week free trial included). Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Follow Along • The sentence being read is marked like a highlighter, and the page keeps up with the voice. • Tap any sentence to jump to it. • Jump between chapters in longer books. • Choose a voice and set the speed. • Keep the screen awake while you listen, or listen in dark mode at night. Keep It Tidy • Sort documents into folders, each with a marker color of its own. • Pick the color that marks everything else, the app icon included.
