Daily Agenda
Read full descriptionHide full description
A daily planner: one anchor, a few deep-work signals, the rest can wait. Most to-do apps hand you an endless list and a fresh wave of guilt. Daily Agenda does the opposite. It gives your day a calm, focused shape: one Anchor, a few deep-work Signals, and the quiet confidence that the rest can wait. Built on a simple truth — deep work comes first, urgent is not important — Daily Agenda helps you protect your best hours for the work that actually moves your life forward. • ONE ANCHOR Pick the single task that defines your day. If you finish only this, today was a win. • A FEW SIGNALS Choose a small set of deep-work sessions — never more than a few. Focus beats volume. • QUICK TASKS, KEPT APART Managerial busywork lives in its own lane, slotted between blocks, never before your real work. • A MORNING RITUAL Start with a five-minute plan: pick your Signals, set your Anchor, pull anything waiting from your Backlog. • A SHUTDOWN RITUAL End the day with a gentle review. Done is archived, unfinished rolls to tomorrow or back to the well. Nothing is lost. • THE BACKLOG A calm well for everything you're not doing today — capture it, forget it, dip back in when you're ready. • CALENDAR VIEW See your anchors and tasks across the week at a glance. • HOME SCREEN WIDGET Glance at today's Anchor and Signals without opening the app. • GENTLE REMINDERS Optional nudges to plan in the morning, check in through the day, and wind down at night — on your schedule, never noisy. • PRIVATE & OFFLINE Your day stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Daily Agenda is for people who want to do fewer things, better — deep workers, makers, students, and anyone tired of productivity theater. A calmer shape for your day.

Write what matters. Keep your days in a single stream. DIARYit is a private daily diary with one entry per day and just enough room for what you want to remember. A LITTLE SPACE. A CLEARER FOCUS. You don’t need to record everything to remember something. Each day gives you a deliberately limited writing space. Capture a moment, a thought, or what the day meant to you, without a page you feel obliged to fill. YOUR LIFE, IN ORDER Write in the present. Let the past stay as it was. Once a day has passed, its entry can no longer be edited. This is intentional. Your diary keeps what you wrote then, not what you might write now. The days ahead are visible, but you cannot write in them until they arrive. The days behind you remain there to revisit. Looking back is your choice. LOOK BACK WITH CONTEXT Find days with writing in the calendar and jump directly to an entry. Press and hold a date with writing to mark it green, yellow, red, or leave it unmarked. Give each day a meaning of your own. PRIVATE. SIMPLE. YOURS. No account to create. No ads, social features, or streaks to maintain. Your writing is stored on your device. Write and read available entries offline, in a quiet interface that follows your device’s light or dark appearance. Your entries can be included in your iPhone’s iCloud Backup when backup is enabled for DIARYit. This is device backup, not live syncing between devices. START WITH TODAY Write today’s entry and read your most recent past entry for free. An optional Access subscription unlocks your full history. Scroll through earlier days or return to an entry from the calendar. Choose monthly or yearly. Your saved entries are not deleted when your subscription ends.
