Dayfly is for notes you only need for a little while. Notes quietly disappear after 24 hours by default. Parking spots, Wi-Fi passwords, locker numbers, today-only reminders — jot it down and forget about it. Dayfly cleans up after itself. Attach photos and videos too. That whiteboard, a receipt, a photo you only took to ask an AI about — capture it and share it straight from Dayfly. Dayfly-managed attachments are removed when an expired note is cleaned up. Photo-library originals and shared copies remain. Want to keep something? One star makes a note permanent. • No account, no sign-up — open and write • Stored on your device, with no account or cloud sync • No ads, no tracking • Minimal design, dark by default Dayfly Pro (lifetime · one-time purchase): • Multiple photos + video attachments (free: one photo per note) • Per-note expiry — from 1 hour to 7 days, or forever • Lock Screen widget with your latest note and time left • Action Button & Siri quick capture (Control Center capture is free) • Notes fade out as they near expiry • Extra themes Not a subscription. Buy once, yours for life. Expired notes are hidden; stored data is cleaned up when the app is active. Device backups may include notes and attachments. Shared copies and originals in your photo library are not deleted when a Dayfly note expires.
