About

FocusQuest

Read full description

FocusQuest turns focus into a game you actually want to play — it locks the apps pulling you away from your work, then rewards you for staying the course. REAL LOCKS, NOT SUGGESTIONS Choose the apps that distract you, start a focus or study timer, and FocusQuest locks them — no snoozing, no five-second workaround. When time's up, a real lock-screen alarm makes sure you notice. YOUR OWN RULES Set fixed windows — say, 10pm to 7am — where distracting apps stay locked automatically, timer or not. Or go further with Always Blocked, for the apps you'd rather cut out of your life completely. A CHECK THAT MEANS SOMETHING No hollow "are you still there?" prompts. A quick movement challenge confirms you're actually present — not just tapping a button on autopilot. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Earn XP, level up, build a streak worth protecting, and clear daily quests that make consistency feel like momentum, not chores. BETTER WITH FRIENDS See how you stack up, cheer on their wins, send a wave — staying focused is easier when it's not just you. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR INTO YOUR DAY Dynamic Island & Live Activity keep your timer visible at a glance. Siri Shortcuts start and stop sessions hands-free. Spotlight surfaces your quests instantly. SharePlay lets you focus together on a call. Download FocusQuest and make breaking distraction the habit that actually sticks.

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.
