Daily: Day Planner report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for a day planner with no account on phones and Mac
Daily reads your device calendars and fits workouts, meals and to-dos around them, with progress shown as one arc. The vendor says every feature is free. But the iPhone, iPad and Mac versions come through TestFlight, they need iOS 26 or macOS 26, and there is no web or Windows version.
Who Daily: Day Planner is for
- Fits if you want workouts and meals planned around your meetings
- Works for people who want the day's progress on a watch face
Who Daily: Day Planner is not for
- Tight if your phone is older, as the Apple versions need iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 on Apple silicon
- Skip it if you want an App Store install, because Apple builds come through TestFlight and Android through a downloaded APK
- Not for you if you use Windows or a browser, as neither is listed
- Watch out: the roadmap says plans change, so free for everyone is the vendor's current position
- Watch out: weather works from a US ZIP code only

Keep Daily: Day Planner, or make your own?
Keep it
Daily: Day Planner is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

What you could make
- Tasks, calendar, habit tracking, daily notes and natural-language input: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not

- It plugs into other products, Apple Health, Health Connect and Siri among them.
What this rests on. Daily: Day Planner’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
