## Key features

- **Day arc:** Routines, workouts and meals all count toward one arc that fills as you tick them off, shown on the Home Screen and watch face.
- **Calendar-aware planning:** Reads the calendars already on the device without changing them, and moves workouts away from meetings and work hours.
- **To-dos and routines:** Type a to-do with a date and time in plain language, or give it a rough length and Daily finds a free gap.
- **Spaces and notes:** Home, Work and other spaces each hold their own lists, to-dos, routines and notes with checklists and tags.
- **Training and food ideas:** Build a workout week and get a food idea on each meal time. The vendor says there is no calorie logging.
- **Private journal:** One page a day, locked with Face ID, Touch ID or a fingerprint.

## Good for

- People who plan workouts and meals alongside their to-dos
- Apple and Android users who want a planner with no account
- Anyone who wants the day's progress on a watch face

- No web or Windows version is listed.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** Every feature is free according to the vendor's roadmap page, with no account, ads or tracking. The category's cheaper quarter starts at $3.99 a month.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** No paid plan is listed at all, so there is no cap to reach.
- **Features: C.** Calendar-aware planning, to-dos, routines, a journal and a workout week. The listing shows no web version and no way to share lists with anyone.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the Apple versions are installed through TestFlight and Android through an APK, which is more setup than a store install.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android, with Apple Health, Health Connect, Siri and Gemini. No web or Windows version is listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Daily: Day Planner is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 63 of the 75 other daily planner apps we grade.

- You could make: Tasks, calendar, habit tracking, daily notes and natural-language input: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Apple Health, Health Connect and Siri among them.
