A daily planner that respects how your day actually works.

DayBox turns scattered tasks into a single timeline: capture an inbox, mark your Big 3, drag work into time blocks beside calendar events, and start a focus timer for each block. When the day ends, see planned vs. actual focus time and roll what is left into tomorrow.

Productivity

Structure without the spreadsheet feeling

DayBox is for people whose day is a mix of meetings, messages, and deep work. Instead of an endless task list, you see hours on a timeline, what is pinned for focus, and a timer that keeps one block honest at a time. When priorities shift, drag blocks—no guilt, just a plan that matches reality.

Key features

What makes DayBox stand out.

01

Timeline + calendar in one view

Plan around real commitments. Drop tasks into time blocks on a vertical day view so you can see what fits before you overpromise.

02

Inbox and Big 3

Capture ideas fast, then mark up to three must-dos so the important work is obvious when the day gets noisy.

03

Focus timer per block

Start a session from a timebox, see the remaining time at a glance, and pause or adjust when meetings run long.

04

Drag to reschedule

Move blocks when the day changes. Push unfinished work to tomorrow in a tap so you start fresh, not from zero.

05

Reflect on planned vs. actual

Close the loop with lightweight stats: how much focus you planned, how much you logged, and whether the Big 3 landed.

06

Themes, accents, and profile

Light, dark, and system appearance with accent choices so the app feels calm during deep work.

FAQ

Common questions about DayBox.

What is timeboxing in DayBox?

Does DayBox support the Big 3 method?

Yes. You can mark up to three priorities for the day so the timeline stays anchored to what matters most.

Can I reflect on how the day went?

The reflect view summarizes planned vs. actual focus time, completed tasks, and Big 3 progress so you can adjust tomorrow.

Is DayBox Pro required for core planning?

Core planning, timeboxing, timers, and reflection are designed to work without a subscription. Pro adds advanced features such as deeper analytics when available.
