DayTimer vs Daybearing

DayTimer is a calm, minimal, and private way to add structure to your day. Structure your day into simple timed blocks and breaks, then let it run - no logins, no ads, no cloud, no busy dashboards, no subscriptions. TIME MARCHES FORWARD With DayTimer, you can rearrange your tasks, adjust them, and reset them, but you cannot pause and snooze the day away. When a task runs long, or life interrupts, you can adapt your plan and keep going, instead of falling "behind" a schedule that no longer exists! A FOCUSED TIMER - Your current time block sits front and center, showing you your task and time remaining - One top to adjust, insert a break, or rearrange - No extra content, no busy screen! 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. The core functionality is all free, a one-time supporter unlock gives you a few themes and unlimited templates. Plan intentionally, adapt gracefully, keep moving.

New in 1.2: iCloud Sync, encrypted on your device. Your day, the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac — plus keyboard control, Undo, and Clear List for when the day changes. ‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧.‧. Daybearing is a clock face for your day. Say what you're doing and how long you think it will take. Each task becomes an arc on the clock, in the hour where it will actually happen. Run over and the arc keeps growing, in orange. One glance tells you if you're on pace. HOW IT WORKS Type a task name and set its duration with the time ruler. Tap Start. When you finish, tap Complete and the next task begins in the same instant, so no time slips away between them. You can also paste in a list of tasks to quickly add tasks from other apps. Daybearing recognizes numbers at the end of a task name as the duration for that task, so you can quickly edit a task list and paste it in. The pace chip says how far ahead or behind your plan the day is. You can save tasks for later in the Plan tab, and view and export your history in the Past tab. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC • iCloud Sync, off by default. Start a task on your iPhone, and your iPad and Mac show it running. • Private by design. Everything is encrypted on your device before it leaves, with a key only your devices hold. No account to make, and Remove Data from iCloud deletes the copy whenever you like. • On iPad, the dial sits beside your task list. On Mac, and on iPad with a keyboard, you can do it all from the keys. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO There is no pause. Daybearing shows your work against real time, and real time doesn't stop. A timer you can stop measures how long you had it running, not how long the work took. If you need to stop, Set Down ends the session, logs the part you did, and puts the rest back in the queue. There are no subtasks, tags, categories or statistics screens. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase and no advertising. One time purchase. MORE FEATURES: • A Live Activity for the running task, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a Complete button so you can finish without opening the app. • Home Screen widgets • Lock Screen widgets • Siri and Shortcuts: automate and connect your other work with Daybearing. • Notifications – Act on your tasks when their time is up. • Desk Mode: set the phone down and see the task and the dial from across the desk. • Undo: ten seconds to take back a task you finished by mistake. • Routines: save tasks to your Plan and copy them into today with one tap. • Batch entry for repeated work: set a pace for large volumes of similar tasks. • An optional chime when a task reaches its estimate. • CSV export • Six themes, light and dark. • VoiceOver support and adjustable text sizing.
