Good days grow from good roots. DayRoot plans your day backward from the moment you need to arrive. Tell it where you're headed and when — it watches live traffic, reads your calendar, and taps you at three calm moments: GET READY — a gentle heads-up while there's still time LEAVE — one clear moment to go, computed from live traffic ARRIVE — on time. Calm. Rooted. WHY DAYROOT IS DIFFERENT • It learns how you actually run. Tend to run late at one place? DayRoot quietly pads your buffer there — and trims it back when you're early. • A real alarm, not just a ping. If your day starts with a drive, DayRoot can wake you at your get-ready time — and if traffic turns bad overnight, it plans with tomorrow morning's traffic, not tonight's. • Your calendar, alive. Events with a place get live travel times; video calls and errands without one become simple tasks - never a fake "leave at". • One root line for the whole day. Trips and tasks grow on a single calm timeline. Finish something and it grows a leaf. CALM BY DESIGN • No account. No ads. No analytics trackers. • Your day stays on your device. • Location only while you use the app — your movements are never tracked. • Full policy: dayroot.app/privacy - Battery-friendly by design. No background GPS, no constant polling - reminders are scheduled with the system, so DayRoot sips power even with nudges on all day. FREE FOREVER The core magic is free, always: your place, exactly when to leave, adaptive learning, and a streak that grows with your on-time days. DAYROOT PRO Every place you care about, full calendar autopilot, tasks and daily routines — $3.99/month or $29.99/year. Good days grow from good roots. Plant one.
