BUILT TO ADAPT - Task running too long or too short? Change it's length, everything else re-flows automatically. - Life is interrupting or adhoc tasks came up? Insert a task on the fly - Priorities change? Rearrange the blocks remaining in your day - You got pulled away and the day escaped you? Click a block and restart from there TEMPLATIZE - Save your standard days into reusable templates - Start a template on a tap - For predictable weekdays, set scheduled days and let them load automatically DayTimer is a free app that started as a passion project.
