DayTimer is a calm, minimal, and private way to add structure to your day. Structure your day into simple timed blocks and breaks, then let it run - no logins, no ads, no cloud, no busy dashboards, no subscriptions. TIME MARCHES FORWARD With DayTimer, you can rearrange your tasks, adjust them, and reset them, but you cannot pause and snooze the day away. When a task runs long, or life interrupts, you can adapt your plan and keep going, instead of falling "behind" a schedule that no longer exists! A FOCUSED TIMER - Your current time block sits front and center, showing you your task and time remaining - One top to adjust, insert a break, or rearrange - No extra content, no busy screen! BUILT TO ADAPT - Task running too long or too short? Change it's length, everything else re-flows automatically. - Life is interrupting or adhoc tasks came up? Insert a task on the fly - Priorities change? Rearrange the blocks remaining in your day - You got pulled away and the day escaped you? Click a block and restart from there TEMPLATIZE - Save your standard days into reusable templates - Start a template on a tap - For predictable weekdays, set scheduled days and let them load automatically DayTimer is a free app that started as a passion project. The core functionality is all free, a one-time supporter unlock gives you a few themes and unlimited templates. Plan intentionally, adapt gracefully, keep moving.
