Your calendar knows your meetings. Another app knows your habits. A third knows what you spent. None of them know what your Tuesday looks like. Dawnlet keeps all of it in one place and shows you one day at a time, weather beside the date — then stays quiet. Dawnlet is built by one person, Aly Badawy. EVENTS AND TODOS Repeating or one-off events, paged by month. Todos with due dates, notes and links, repeating weekly, monthly or on the nth weekday. HABITS AND STREAKS Every day, specific weekdays, or a few times a week. Honest streaks, with skip days that don't break the chain. Link a habit to Apple Health and it checks itself off when you hit the goal. MONEY Income and expenses by category, monthly budgets, recurring bills and savings goals. Lock it behind Face ID, which hides amounts in notifications too. TIME TRACKING A live timer with real pauses, so totals stay honest. Switch in one tap or backdate. Or start a focus session: intervals with breaks, each one logged. THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO Movies, books and places — each with a planned date, a rating and who you did it with, and a map. People are your Apple Contacts, read on your device, with an optional nudge to keep in touch. JOURNAL, MEALS AND GRATITUDES As many entries a day as you like, with bold, italic and a mood, and questions drawn from your day when you're stuck. Search it, revisit this day in past years, and log meals and gratitudes. CHAT WITH DAWNLET Ask what's on Friday, or add events, todos, meals and gratitudes in your own words. It shows what it understood before saving anything, and runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. NOTIFICATIONS THAT KEEP WORKING Every kind has its own switch and quiet hours. All on your device, so a week away never goes silent. Focus filters show only the categories and tags you pick. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Widgets, and your running timer in the Dynamic Island. Siri and Shortcuts start a timer, add a todo, check off a habit or log an expense. Apple Watch shows events, habits, todos and the timer. Works offline, and syncs when you're back. BUILT FOR EVERYONE VoiceOver throughout, Audio Graphs, Reduce Motion, iPad keyboard shortcuts and Undo after a delete. In US, British, Australian and Canadian English. PRIVACY, PLAINLY You sign in with Apple. Dawnlet stores an account ID, the email Apple gives it and your name if you shared it. No third-party analytics, ads or crash-reporting SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no tracking. Calendar, Reminders and Contacts are read on your device; synced todos are saved to your account, and someone you add to a meal, movie or place is stored as a name, contact ID and keep-in-touch interval. Apple Health is only read, on your device. Weather sends your approximate location, or a city you pick, only to Apple's weather service, never to Dawnlet. Chat and journal prompts run on your device. Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PLUS Free is a complete app: agenda, events, todos, habits, money with Face ID lock, time tracking, journaling, meals, gratitudes, places, books, movies, people, Calendar and Reminders in your agenda, focus sessions, Focus filters, one Apple Health habit and notifications.
