A list that is not yet a plan
Eleven things to do and no sense of whether they fit. Drag them onto the timeline and the overcommitted afternoon looks overcommitted instead of looking fine.
Web app
Plan the day. Catch the rest.
DayForge turns a loose list of to-dos into a time-blocked day. Drop tasks into a tray, drag them onto a timeline, and keep quick notes, voice memos and files in the same place.
A planner that admits the day will change.
Most planners assume you know when everything happens. DayForge assumes you do not. Tasks without a time land in a tray instead of disappearing, so nothing is lost while you decide when to do it.
When you are ready, drag a task onto the timeline. Blocks stretch to match their duration and overlapping work sits side by side, so an overcommitted afternoon looks overcommitted instead of looking fine.
It syncs across phone and computer through your own sign-in, so the plan you made at a desk is the plan in your pocket.
In practice
Three moments it saves you
A thought that is not a task yet
Something occurs to you that needs thinking about, not doing. It goes in Notes, outlines itself as you type, and converts into a task when it is ready.
A week somebody else needs to see
Export the week as a calendar file, filtered to work only, and it opens in their Google Calendar or Outlook like anything else.
A walkthrough video for this one is in production.
How it works
Three moves, start to finish.
Capture
Add a task in seconds with a title, a duration and a Personal or Work tag. Anything without a time waits in the tray.
Block your time
Drag a task from the tray onto the day, or open it and pick a date and start time. Blocks size themselves to the duration.
Look ahead and export
Scan the week with the forecast strip, tick things off as you go, then export a day or a week as a calendar file.
Everything in one place
Planning, routines, notes, recordings and files, without a second app to check.
Planning
- Unscheduled tray for quick capture, with a one-tap clear
- Day timeline with blocks sized by duration
- Duration and end time stay in sync in both directions
- Drag and drop with an undo toast, plus a drag handle so scrolling does not move things by accident
- Seven-day forecast strip
- Personal and Work tags
Repeats and routines
- Recurring tasks, daily or on chosen weekdays
- Each occurrence ticked off on its own date
- Routine templates you can create, edit and apply to a day
- Pinned reminders that stay visible and expand when tapped
Notes that outline themselves
Start typing and DayForge stamps the title with today's date, then builds the outline as you go. Press Enter and the next line starts as a bullet. Press space twice on an empty dash to flip it to a star. Skip two lines to start a new topic, which splits into its own note.
- Color tint and pinning per note
- Search across every note
- Convert a note into a task when it is ready to act on
Voice notes
Record audio straight onto a task, with a live transcript where the browser supports speech recognition and a one-tap copy into the task text. Transcription quality depends on the browser and is least reliable on iPhone. The recording itself is always saved.
Calendar export
- Export one day or a whole week as an .ics file
- Filter by Personal or Work, and by event or appointment type
- Opens in Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar
Files and photos
- Attach any file type to a task or a note
- Label each attachment as you upload it
- Photos are shrunk before upload and open in a full-size viewer
Under the hood
- PlatformWeb app in any modern browser on phone, tablet or desktop. Installs to a home screen.
- SyncStored in a Supabase database, so changes appear on every device.
- SecurityRow-level security limits every record to its owner. Uploaded files sit in private storage, reachable only when signed in.
- AccountsBuilt as a personal tool with a single account per user, signed in by email and password.
