Plan your day the way time actually works — in a circle. DayZen is a radial day planner that lays your 24-hour schedule on a beautiful circular clock. See your whole day at a glance, watch the time needle sweep forward in real time, and build a rhythm that sticks. VISUAL PLANNING, REIMAGINED Tasks appear as colored arcs around a 24-hour clock face. The current-time needle moves with the minute, so you always know where you are in the day. No more scrolling lists — just one calm overview. FOUR SMART TASK TYPES • Fixed — pin tasks to exact time slots • Flexible — things you'll fit in whenever it works • Parallel — stack overlapping tasks (a podcast while commuting) • Milestone — deadlines and one-shot moments BUILT-IN ACCOUNTABILITY • "Starting soon" reminders before each task • Check-in notifications when a task ends: Done, Skipped, or Snooze • Subtasks and dependency chains — block a task until prerequisites finish • Daily streak counter to keep your momentum alive APPLE CALENDAR SYNC DayZen creates its own calendar so your existing events stay untouched. Two-way sync means changes flow both ways without surprises. RECURRENCE MADE SIMPLE Repeat daily, on weekdays, on weekends, or weekly — one toggle, no fuss. INSIGHTS & STATISTICS • Weekly category breakdown • Day streak counter • Peak productivity hour • Daily wisdom quotes for motivation DESIGNED FOR FOCUS • Six premium themes — System, Midnight, Ivory, Ocean, Rose, Forest • Clean, minimal UI with full dark mode • Haptic feedback for a tactile, premium feel • Turkish and English with instant in-app switching PRIVACY-FIRST All data is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no sign-ups, no network calls. Your day belongs to you. DAYZEN PRO Unlock unlimited daily tasks, unlimited custom categories, and support continued development. • Pro is offered as an auto-renewing weekly subscription. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
