Capture
Every task starts as a thought you had at the wrong moment. The Inbox takes it — from a system-wide Quick Add on the Mac, your voice on the Apple Watch, or Siri. Type “Email Tom back on Tuesday” and DayMap reads the day out of the sentence. Nothing has to be filed yet. Getting it down is the whole job.
Organize
The Project Planner is a board of colored columns, one for each project. Break any task into subtasks, nested as deep as the work actually goes. Group projects into Areas — Work, Family, whatever you keep separate — and filter the board to one when the rest can wait. The colors do the remembering, so you find things without reading every row.
Plan
The Task Scheduler sits directly below the board, so planning is one movement: pull a task from its column onto a day. It keeps its project color, and the week reads at a glance. Give it a time and it lands on the timeline. Switch between Week, Next 7, Month and Upcoming. Repeating work schedules itself.
Do
Focus shows a single day and nothing else — no board, no week, nothing to scroll past. Pick your 3 Daily Bearings, the three things that matter most, ranked one to three. Tick work off as you finish it. At the end of the day, Waypoint asks a few questions if you want them, and anything unfinished can carry to tomorrow.

See your whole life, then plan your day
DayMap lets you organize your projects and tasks by visually mapping out your life, one week at a time, allowing you to see your projects, tasks and schedule in an intuitive and user friendly interface.
-
Projects and calendar, together
Every project is a colored column in the Project Planner, with your week or month right below it. Drag a task onto a day and it keeps its project's color, so you can see where your week is going at a glance.

3 Daily Bearings
Name the three tasks that would make today count, ranked 1, 2 and 3. Three is the limit on purpose: if a fourth mattered as much, one of the first three didn't.
-
Overlook
Your day from the high point on the trail. It opens the first time you open DayMap each morning: your bearings, what's at a set time, what's due, and what carried over from yesterday.
-
Focus
One day, one list. Today's tasks on the left, the one you're working on open on the right, and nothing else on screen. On Mac and iPad.
-
Areas
Group projects into Work, Family, Home, or whatever you keep separate. Filter the board to one area when the rest can wait, and let a project appear in more than one.
-
Capture anywhere
Get it out of your head the moment it arrives. Quick Add from anywhere on your Mac, voice capture in your own language, or a word to your Apple Watch. It all lands in the Inbox to sort later.
-
Repeating tasks and deadlines
Every weekday, every other week, the third Thursday of the month. Move or skip a single day without touching the rest of the series, and give anything a deadline, with a time if it needs one.
-
Your calendar, both ways
See your Apple or Google calendar events beside your tasks, and send scheduled tasks to the calendar you choose. Use one direction or both.
-
Share a project
Invite someone into one project and work on the same tasks together. Check something off and it's done for both of you. Everything else stays yours.
-
Waypoint
An optional end-of-day journal. A few short questions and a couple of minutes to mark where you are before tomorrow. No streaks, no scores, and only you can read it.
On Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch, with Home Screen widgets, synced through your own iCloud. No ads and no tracking. Some features need DayMap Pro.
People said this about the original DayMap.
After a few years away, it's back — rebuilt from the ground up for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The idea people loved is unchanged.
"I nearly cried when I saw your app! For years, that is EXACTLY how I've planned my week, and I've never seen it in app form, so I'm thrilled!"
— Deb
"I've been looking for software for managing a media production schedule for my job, and the dragging and dropping functionality is amazing. My brain works this way!"
— Sean
"I have been looking FOREVER for an app that was just like my manual Planner Pro Pad calendar. I love writing up the tasks in projects, prioritizing these and then mapping them to my calendar."
— terrisc
"I've used Things, Toodledo, Todo and many others and they didn't quite get it: I was still missing the big picture of my day. With your app I can visually get my bearings at a glance."
— Claudia
"I downloaded DayMap to my Mac and HELLO! It was exactly what I'd been looking for and I didn't even know it."
— Melania
"I have used paper planners, spreadsheets, the calendar app, and on and on. Out of all of them, I really love this planner! It has revolutionized the way I plan my life."

There's Always More Day Than There Is You
A brief booklet on a single idea: there is always more day than there is you. Day Mapping is the practice of seeing a day before you live it — five small movements, practiced daily, and a first week you can start tonight.
