DayPlan keeps your day simple. Today, Tomorrow, Week, and Month views give every task a clear home — plus habits, countdowns, a baby log, and a home-screen widget, without complex project management. DAILY PLANNING Add tasks to Today, push to Tomorrow, or park them in Week or Month. Unchecked tasks carry forward each morning. Set daily defaults and recurring tasks that appear fresh every day or week. HABITS & STREAKS Mark a task as a daily habit and DayPlan tracks your streak, longest run, and completion rate automatically. COUNTDOWNS Count down to birthdays, trips, and deadlines — see exactly how many days are left. WEEKLY 7-DAY VIEW Monday through Sunday as day cards. Tap a day to add tasks to it — Wednesday's gym stays on Wednesday. BABY LOG Track your newborn's feeds, diapers, pumping, and growth in one optional tab — with a hands-free nursing timer and camera stool-color check. Off by default; turn it on in Settings. SHOPPING LIST A dedicated list separate from your tasks. Check items off and share in a tap. DIARY A Diary and Notes section for each day, auto-saving as you type. Scroll back 30 days or forward 6 months. VOICE INPUT Tap the mic on any task or diary entry and just speak — DayPlan transcribes instantly. NATURAL LANGUAGE "Call dentist tomorrow" routes to Tomorrow; "gym next week" goes to Week. BACKUP & SYNC Start with no account. Sign in with Apple or Google to back up and restore on any device. Export anytime. SIMPLE BY DEFAULT No account. No onboarding. Install and start — in light or dark mode.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DayPlan at none against Daily Planner's 3. DayPlan also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
