About Daily

Daily is the intelligent daily planner engineered for the modern professional who values clarity over clutter and meaningful progress over mere productivity. In a world saturated with overwhelming task managers that incentivize endless doing, Daily provides a sanctuary for strategic thinking. It is designed for founders, creators, and ambitious individuals who feel the pressure of a growing workload but refuse to let it dictate their focus. Daily's core value proposition is its commitment to reducing cognitive load. It transforms the chaotic stream of tasks, reminders, and ideas into a structured, calm workflow. The platform acts as a trusted external brain, allowing users to capture everything instantly without the friction of organization. Then, through its intentional "Today" view, it empowers users to make conscious, strategic choices about what truly deserves their energy each day. This isn't about doing more; it's about scaling your impact by doing what matters with unparalleled focus. Daily provides just enough structure to support exponential growth, ensuring your system evolves with your ambitions without ever becoming a source of complexity or pressure itself.

Features of Daily

Frictionless Brain Dump

Daily's foundational feature is an ultra-simple capture interface that allows you to record tasks, thoughts, and reminders the instant they appear. This eliminates the mental tax of holding items in your head, creating a reliable and always-available repository. By removing the initial barrier of categorization, it encourages consistent use and ensures no critical idea or action item is lost, setting the stage for later strategic review and prioritization.

Intentional Today View

This is the heart of the Daily methodology. The Today view deliberately isolates only the tasks you have consciously chosen for the current day. It strips away the noise of future obligations and past carry-overs, creating a focused, manageable list. This curated view combats overwhelm, provides a clear starting point, and fosters a deep sense of calm and control, enabling you to engage in deep work without distraction.

Gentle Task Carry-Forward

Tasks not addressed by the end of your day are not marked as failures. Instead, Daily's system gently and automatically carries them forward to the next day's planning session. This non-judgmental approach removes the guilt and stress associated with an incomplete list, reframing planning as a continuous, adaptive process. It ensures important items remain visible while allowing you to consciously re-evaluate their priority with fresh eyes each morning.

Minimalist, Purpose-Built Design

Every aspect of Daily's interface is crafted for clarity and calm. It intentionally avoids complex tags, nested subtasks, and visual clutter that characterize other tools. This minimalist design philosophy reduces decision fatigue and learning curves, allowing you to spend less time managing your system and more time executing on your goals. The simplicity is a feature, not a limitation, designed to scale seamlessly with your cognitive needs.

Use Cases of Daily

Scaling Startup Founders

Founders juggling product development, fundraising, hiring, and operations use Daily to maintain strategic clarity. They dump all incoming demands—from investor emails to bug reports—into Daily, then each morning use the Today view to isolate the 2-3 high-leverage activities that will genuinely move the needle for their growth. This prevents reactive firefighting and aligns daily action with long-term vision.

Creative Professionals & Freelancers

Writers, designers, and consultants leverage Daily to manage project pipelines, client requests, and administrative tasks without stifling creativity. The brain dump feature captures inspiration and incoming feedback instantly. The Today view then helps them structure their workday around focused creative blocks and critical client deliverables, ensuring they meet deadlines while protecting time for deep, innovative work.

Ambitious Career Climbers

Professionals aiming for promotion and skill mastery use Daily to proactively manage their workload and development. They capture meeting action items, skill-building goals, and networking tasks. Daily's system helps them distinguish between urgent reactive work and important career-advancing projects, ensuring they consistently dedicate time to the high-impact activities that accelerate their professional trajectory and visibility.

Mindful Productivity Practitioners

Individuals who have experienced burnout from rigid productivity systems find refuge in Daily. It supports methodologies like mindful planning and essentialism. The tool facilitates a daily review ritual where users can consciously let go of unimportant tasks and gracefully carry forward what still matters, fostering a sustainable, pressure-free relationship with work and personal goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Daily different from other to-do apps like Todoist or Asana?

Daily is philosophically different. While tools like Todoist and Asana are built for comprehensive project management and collaboration, Daily is purpose-built for individual daily clarity and focus. It eliminates feature bloat and complexity, focusing solely on the cycle of capture and intentional daily selection. It's not about managing every detail of a project forever; it's about deciding what deserves your focus today to drive meaningful progress.

What happens to tasks I don't complete today?

Tasks you do not complete are not lost or highlighted as overdue. They are automatically carried forward to the next day, where they will appear in your general list for reconsideration. This allows you to start each day with a clean slate (the Today view) while knowing all your commitments are safely stored. You then consciously choose which items to promote to your new Today list, adapting to your changing priorities.

Can I use Daily for team collaboration?

Daily is intentionally designed as a personal productivity tool focused on individual clarity and focus. It does not include real-time collaboration features, shared projects, or assignment functions. This singular focus is what allows it to remain simple and pressure-free. For team-based task management, we recommend integrating your personal Daily practice with a dedicated collaborative platform.

Is there a mobile app available?

Yes, Daily is built to be accessible wherever you are. A fully-featured mobile application is available, allowing you to capture tasks on the go and review your Today list from any device. The experience is synchronized seamlessly, ensuring your system is always up-to-date and your focused plan is always in your pocket when you need it.
