Marked done. Nice, that’s the one you moved twice.

Tasks, meetings, and breaks in one plan you can actually see. Block time for , pick your , and let the coach handle the moments you get stuck on.

A calm morning ritual,
not a scramble

Plan the day you can actually finish. Sort what belongs to today, let Dayplan estimate durations and timebox it, add breaks, and catch the moment you’ve overcommitted. Five calm minutes, and you’re set up for a genuinely productive day.

Three priorities.
Not everything all at once.

Dayplan asks the one question other planners skip: what are the three things that actually matter today? Those get pride of place, while everything else waits its turn, guilt-free. Focused, doable, and genuinely satisfying to close out.

Close the day with
a clear conscience

A guided wind-down ritual that clears the tabs still open in your head. Decide what moves to tomorrow, let the rest go without guilt, and take a moment to reflect.

You log off clear-headed, knowing nothing’s forgotten. It’s all captured, ready when you are, so you can genuinely switch off.

Where does the rest go?

The only planner that texts you back

Most planners just hold your to-dos. Coach helps you actually do them. Text a brain dump and get real tasks, ask what’s next, or get a first step when you’re stuck. Your next move is one text away, so one lost hour doesn’t cost you the whole day.

pretty good actually, tired but ok

Breaks you actually take

Rest is a strategy, not a reward. You can manage your time perfectly and still run out of steam by 2pm. In Dayplan, breaks are their own kind of task, allowing you to step away without guilt and get more done.

Frequently asked questions

Dayplan is a daily planner with an AI coach that texts you. You plan your day around three priorities, protect real breaks, and shut down without guilt, while the coach helps with the hard part: actually starting, switching, and following through. It's built for busy, ambitious people who end the day feeling no closer to their goals.

Most planners help you build a list; Dayplan helps you finish it. Instead of cold auto-scheduling or endless task counts, Dayplan gives you a coach that texts you through the moments people actually get stuck on: starting, switching, and closing out the day. It plans your breaks as seriously as your tasks, and it has no streaks and no guilt, so planning stays calm.

The Dayplan coach plans your day with you, remembers how you work, breaks big tasks into a first step, and finds the time to fit them in. Through the day it nudges you to start, suggests when to switch, protects your breaks, and walks you through a calm shutdown. It doesn't just hold your tasks; it helps you execute them and bounce back when a day goes sideways.

Yes. The Dayplan coach lives in your iMessage and the web app. It sends plain text messages to help you plan, take breaks, and wind down, and you reply like you're texting a friend. You don't have to open the app to stay on track; a plan is one text away.

Yes. Dayplan is built around the parts of the day that are hardest with ADHD: starting, switching tasks, remembering, and shutting down. Instead of streaks and guilt, its coach texts you to help you begin, take real breaks, and follow through, and picking three priorities keeps the day focused instead of overwhelming. That makes Dayplan a strong fit for people with ADHD and anyone with executive-function challenges.

Dayplan is built for founders, designers, freelancers, and knowledge workers who stay busy all day but end it no closer to their goals, and who are burned out on judgmental, streak-driven productivity tools. If your problem isn't knowing what to do but actually doing it, Dayplan is for you.

Each day in Dayplan you pick the three things that matter most. That's your plan and your focus. Everything else can wait without guilt, because there are no counts or streaks punishing you for what you didn't finish. Three priorities keeps the day clear and doable instead of overwhelming.

Dayplan treats breaks as a first-class planning object; no other planner does this. You answer "when will I pause?" the same way tasks answer "what will I do?", dropping a coffee, a walk, or a stretch into your day and protecting it like a meeting. The coach can even suggest the right kind of break for the gap you have.

You can capture in a text, a voice note, or a photo. Type it, say it, or snap a picture of your notebook, and Dayplan turns it into tasks, sets a sensible duration, and files it for the right day. Get the thought out of your head the moment you have it, and deal with it when you plan.

Dayplan Pro syncs with all your Google and Apple Calendars, so you see your meetings and your tasks together on one timeline and plan around your real day. On Free, you plan on the built-in Dayplan calendar.

No. Dayplan has no streaks, no task counts, and no pressure to finish everything. An honest day where the important things got done is a good day; the rest waits without punishment. It's designed to feel calm, not to shame you into opening it.

They're coming soon. Native apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android, and desktop apps for Windows and Linux, are on their way. Until then, Dayplan works in any browser on your computer or phone, and Coach reaches you through iMessage.
