The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | The whole web app is free, and the page shows no paid plan. The category's cheaper quarter starts at $3.99 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Everything is free once you create an account, and no cap is listed. |
| Features | C | Day lists, rollover, a highlighted top task, labels, people, notes and search. The listing names no calendar sync or integrations. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you need an account before you can add a task. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only for now, and the page says mobile apps are coming soon. No integrations are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Daywise is for

- 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
