About

Spiralday

Read full description

Spiralday is a paper planner with an AI assistant inside. Every day is a real page: flip through a 365-page spiral-bound book, write your tasks, keep a diary, and let the assistant do the organizing. JUST SAY IT, THE ASSISTANT PLANS IT β€’ Type "Dentist tomorrow at 3" and it becomes a task with a date, time and reminder. β€’ Talk to your AI assistant: add or move tasks, or ask "What does my Friday look like?" Replies are read aloud. β€’ Brain dump: pour everything on your mind in one go, however messy. The AI sorts it into tasks and a diary note; you choose what to keep. A PLANNER THAT FEELS LIKE PAPER β€’ A realistic page flip with spiral wire, tear-off, stitched or plain bindings. With the wire binding, pages turn around the wire through punched holes. β€’ Light and dark paper, fonts and menu styles to make it yours. β€’ Handwriting on iPad with Apple Pencil, stickers, photos and videos on every page. A DIARY THAT REMEMBERS β€’ Daily diary entries next to your tasks. β€’ AI memory: the assistant learns what matters to you. The memory map shows everything it remembers, and you can make it forget anything. β€’ Year recap: look back at your year, your busiest days and favourite moments. EVERYDAY TOOLS β€’ Reminders and flexible repeats ("last Friday of every month", "5 times", "until a date"). β€’ Calendar sync and a home screen widget with today's tasks. β€’ Available in English, Turkish, German and Arabic. SPIRALDAY PREMIUM Spiralday is free to use. Premium adds more AI, AI memory, a longer archive with backup, video pages and no ads. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your App Store account settings.
