Read full description

A real Pomodoro timer: name the task, start the clock, and let focus blocks and breaks cycle themselves until the work is actually done. Most countdown apps stop at zero. This one remembers what you were working on. Every finished block is saved with its task, project and category, so by Friday you can see exactly where your hours went — and the streak, XP bar and daily goal give you a reason to sit down again tomorrow. WHAT YOU GET - Focus and break phases that advance on their own, with a long break after every set, so you never tap between rounds - Your own routines: focus length, short break, long break, and how many cycles come before the long one - Every session logged with task, project, category and notes, turning your history into a work journal you can actually read - A 7-day bar chart with totals, current streak and longest streak — proof the habit is sticking - Daily and weekly minute goals with live progress right on the timer screen - Achievement badges, XP, and a daily planner where you estimate how many pomodoros each task will need PERFECT FOR - Students grinding through revision, essays and exam prep - Developers, writers and designers who need uninterrupted deep-work blocks - Anyone who works better against a visible countdown than an endless to-do list - Remote workers separating real focus hours from busywork WHY NOT JUST USE THE STOPWATCH ON YOUR PHONE? A stopwatch tells you that time passed. It won't restart you after a break, won't remember the task you were on, and won't show you that you put in fourteen hours of deep work this week. That record is the entire point — it turns "I was busy" into "here is what I finished." You also get a chime and a notification when a block ends, plus a keep-screen-on option so the countdown stays visible while you work. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no internet connection needed. Your sessions, routines, tasks and notes stay in a local database on your iPhone and are never uploaded anywhere. Export the whole history to a JSON file whenever you want it. FULL ACCESS Unlocks unlimited custom routines, unlimited session history (the free version keeps the last 7 days), session notes, the insights dashboard and charts, projects, categories and tags, achievement badges, the daily planner, and JSON backup and restore. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Start one 25-minute block today and find out what a single uninterrupted hour actually looks like.

Plan your day. Watch your habits turn into a streak you can see. Dayly is a calm daily planner with a habit tracker built in. Open it and you get one answer: what you have to do today, and whether you are keeping your habits going. THE STREAK YOU CAN SEE Most habit trackers hand you a number. Dayly draws you a picture. Every habit you keep fills in a coloured band on the month calendar, and days in a row join into one long ribbon. Miss a day and the gap is right there — nothing to interpret. ONE SCREEN FOR TODAY • Nine weeks of days in a single list, opening on today • Add a task in one tap, on the day it belongs to • Tick it off and the checkbox fills with the task's own colour • Hold to reorder or remove • Give anything a time and a reminder so it cannot slip HABITS YOU CAN SEE • Turn any task into a habit: every day, or on the weekdays you choose • Each habit gets its own colour band on the month calendar • Keep it up and the bands join into one continuous streak • Scroll back through earlier months in the same view ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • Widgets for today's tasks and for your habit calendar • Light and dark, following your system • 20 languages FREE • Unlimited one-off tasks • Up to 3 habits • The full nine-week planner • Times and reminders • Home screen widgets DAYLY PRO • Unlimited habits • Current streak, best run and completion rate for every habit • The full colour palette • Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There is no sign-up and no server. Your tasks live on your device and are shared only with Dayly's own widgets. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the whole app works offline. Dayly is for anyone who wants a daily to-do list and a habit tracker in one quiet place: students planning a week of study, people building a morning routine, anyone who has bounced off planners that ask for an account before they show you anything. SUBSCRIPTION Dayly Pro is available monthly or yearly as an auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
