Make your day easier to follow with visual task cards, reusable routines and a focus timer. VisualDay is a personal daily planner for study, work and everyday routines. Give each task a title, icon, color and estimated duration, then organize it into morning, afternoon, evening or anytime. See what is next and track completed, skipped and remaining tasks throughout the day. PLAN WITH CARDS Create and edit task cards. Break a busy day into manageable steps, from preparing breakfast to a study session or a work task. REUSE YOUR ROUTINES Start with Morning routine, Evening routine or Study session templates. Create up to three custom templates on the free plan and reuse them when planning another day. Pro unlocks unlimited custom templates and additional ready-made routines.
