Tell Attune how much energy you have and what your head is doing. Your to do list reorders to match the moment. Foggy and scattered looks different from sharp and ready — your tasks should too. Quick add through voice, notes, and smart calendar review. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Syncs with Apple Reminders, so your existing lists come along. Send anything from Apple Notes into Attune. QUICK ADD THAT DOES THE SORTING Screenshot or email capture works for tasks and events. Or, voice it or type it. Attune tags and categorizes each task automatically — effort, context, how much brain it needs — so you never stop to fill in fields. Notifications and reminders are there if you need it. FLOW MODE One task at a time. A calm focus timer with a Pomodoro option, and background timers for things that run while you do something else — laundry going while you answer email, dishes soaking while you tidy. THE UNSTUCK PATHWAY For when you know what's on the list and still can't start. Attune walks you to the one thing that's actually startable right now, instead of asking you to decide. THREADS Not everything has a deadline. Threads are the ideas you're quietly carrying — the project you might start, the thing you keep meaning to look into. Attune brings them back every so often and asks: still holding this, working on it now, or ready to let it go? PLAN YOUR DAY (PRO) Attune reads your calendar, finds the real gaps, and fits tasks into them. Sessions sized to the time you actually have. MODES FOR HOW YOUR DAY GOES (PRO) Home Mode — chores sequenced into one sensible run through the house Out & About — errands ordered by location and handed straight to Apple Maps Auto-switch by location — get home, it switches to Home Mode on its own NO ACCOUNTS No login. No tracking. No streak counter. Everything stays on your phone. FREE — energy-based sorting, quick add, Flow Mode, unstuck pathway, threads, notes PRO — calendar planning, Home Mode, Out & About, auto-switch, widgets. 7-day free trial on the annual plan.

Day Base is your database for everything — a simple, powerful place to organize, track, and keep the things that matter. Most apps decide what you can store. Day Base hands you the blueprint: create your own collections, define your own fields, and shape the app around your life instead of the other way around. WHATEVER YOU COLLECT OR TRACK Books, records, and wine. Sneakers and trading cards. Home inventory and warranties. Travel memories and restaurants. Recipes, plants, projects, clients — if you can list it, you can build it. DESIGN YOUR OWN FIELDS Add exactly the fields each collection needs — text, numbers, dates, yes/no, links, single-select, and photos. No rigid templates. Your data, your structure. SEE IT YOUR WAY Browse a beautiful card view with cover images, or switch to a sortable table to scan and compare. Tap any photo for a full-screen look. START IN SECONDS Already have a spreadsheet? Paste a CSV and Day Base builds the fields for you automatically — no setup required. ADD THINGS HANDS-FREE Day Base works with Siri and the Shortcuts app, so you can add or look up records by voice, from the Home Screen, or the Share Sheet — without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives in your personal iCloud, synced across all your devices. It's yours, and yours alone. Powerful when you need it. Simple when you don't. Start your first collection in under a minute.
