Daylit

Daylit is a daily planner that plans your day honestly β and tells you when the day is too full. No account. No ads. Everything you log by hand is free: events, notes, expenses, important dates, files, projects, search, totals and backup. AI answers β a plan, a question about a day, a file read, a spending observation β are counted. 5 are free, then Pro. Type everything on your mind: gym, the deck, call mom, the dentist. Daylit sets it against the hours you really have, gives a verdict β balanced, tight or overstuffed β and shows what to move so the day fits. Nothing it proposes is written until you confirm it. Then the day keeps what happened on it. ON EVERY DAY β’ Events, with reminders. Your phone's calendar can be shown beside them, read-only, if you turn it on. β’ Notes, searchable offline together with the text of your files. β’ A spending log: an amount, one of ten categories, any currency. A foreign amount is converted at that day's rate and kept as paid. β’ Important dates β birthdays, anniversaries β that return every year, with reminders before and on the day. β’ Files: PDF with a text layer, DOCX, plain text and Markdown. Daylit can read one and propose what to add to your days; nothing is added until you say so. ASK A DAY Pick a day and ask: what was decided, what was spent, what the file said. Daylit answers from what you saved on that day, shows where each line came from, and says so when it has nothing. MONEY, AS A LOG A spending tracker you fill in by hand: the month's total, ten categories, a cell for every day β and one observation about the pattern when you ask for it. A log and observations: that is all it claims to be. PROJECTS A project is a hobby or a piece of work you've started, with an end date or without. Give it a number to reach β 400 pages, 12 lessons β or steps to tick, or neither. Log progress on the day you did it; the Projects tab shows where each one stands β going, paused, finished or dropped β and its figures: sessions, days left, how far it has come. YOUR DAYS, YOUR PHONE Your days stay on your phone. What you send goes to the AI only to write the answer; Daylit asks before the first one and keeps a list of what left your phone. A backup is one file, kept wherever you save it. SUBSCRIPTION Daylit Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. It renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings, under Subscriptions.
