Daylight
Notes that hold their shape
A true rich-text editor — bold, italic, underline, links and lists, stored as real formatting rather than markdown. The first line becomes the title, so a note titles itself.
Daylight
Bring light to your day.
A beautiful daily dashboard for iPhone. Your positive affirmation, weather, to-dos, events and notes on one screen, under a sky that changes with the hour.

The daylight
A sky that keeps time with yours.
Daylight's background is a real sky, and it moves the way one does. Rosy at dawn, pale blue through the morning, deepest at noon, warm through golden hour, violet at dusk, and quiet after dark — easing hour by hour rather than snapping between moods.
Open the app at 7am and at 7pm and it feels like two different times of day, because it is.
- Six moods, blended continuously across the day
- A separate palette tuned for dark mode
- Moonlight after dark, quietly

Tap one — the whole page moves with it.
To-dos
Life in days, not lists.
Your life is organized by days, not by projects. Every to-do and note belongs to one, and you swipe between them like pages. Anything you don't finish rolls quietly onto tomorrow instead of turning red.
- Unfinished to-dos roll over on their own
- Repeat daily, weekly or monthly, with an end date Premium
- Hold the + until it catches fire, then add in rapid fire Premium
- Shake to undo, swipe to delete

Events
Say it, don't fill it in.
An event is one line of plain English. Type "Dinner with Antonia 7pm tomorrow at Longhorn Steakhouse" and Daylight works out the title, the day, the start, how long it runs and where it is.
- Times, days and places the way you'd say them — “6–8pm”, “for 45 min”, “next Friday”, “7/20”, “at Longhorn Steakhouse”
- “Every Monday” and “weekdays” become repeating events
- Choose which calendar it lands on or open the full editor
And when it's time to go. Tap an event for its details and, if the place is one Maps can find, a directions arrow is sitting right next to it. One tap and the route is already up.

The rest of the day
Your humanity isn't a chore.
Your calendar, already there
Events come straight from the calendars you already keep, in each one's own color, laid out on a timeline you set the start and end of. Nothing to import, nothing to keep in step.
Weather, at a glance
Today's conditions with the high and the low, in °F or °C. Tap the glyph and the sun throws rays, the rain falls, the snow drifts. Because why shouldn't it.
An affirmation to start on
One line at the top of every day. Premium adds eight themes — Growth, Self-Worth, Love, Appearance, Wealth, Resilience, Gratitude and Calm — plus room to write your own.
Four widgets
Today's to-dos with a count, today's events in their calendar colors, your affirmation on the changing sky, and a Lock Screen tap that opens straight into the day.
Backed up and ready
Your days, notes and settings sync through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no password, and no server of ours in the middle.
Quiet by design
Daylight will never buzz at you.
There are no notifications, no badges, no streaks, and no account to make. You craft your day in the morning and check in when you feel like it. That's the whole idea.
Nothing phones home
No analytics, no trackers, no ads. Your days live on your device and in your iCloud.
Forgiving by default
Shake to undo a delete. Notes come back with their formatting and bookmarks intact.
Rewarding to touch
Confetti when you finish something. Haptics that land. Small surprises under a long press.
Free vs Premium
Unleash your best day.
Every screen, every widget, the sky, the weather, your calendar and iCloud sync are free. Premium lifts the daily caps and adds the extras people want once they've settled in.
