Free web day planner where each day has its own short list
Daywise report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for a free web to-do list that rolls over each day
Daywise gives each day its own short list, puts your top task first and moves unfinished tasks to tomorrow at midnight. The whole web app is free. It is web only, the phone apps are listed as coming soon, and it has no calendar sync.
Who Daywise is for
- Fits if you want a short list for today and nothing else
- Works for anyone who keeps tasks in a browser tab all day
Who Daywise is not for
- Skip it if you want a phone app today, because the iPhone and Android apps are listed as coming soon
- Not for you if you want your calendar alongside tasks, as no calendar sync is named
- Tight if you work offline: you can read recent days but editing pauses until you reconnect
- Too light for projects, since it is a daily list with labels and notes only
