Too much on your mind?

Tasks, appointments, ideas, all jumbled up.

Everything in one place

A day planner that does more

Instead of five apps for tasks, calendar, habits, journal and focus: one that thinks of it all together.

Just start typing. DayBlock recognises day and time and puts the block in your calendar.

Why a list alone is not enough

Without DayBlock

“The list gets longer, the day does not.”

With DayBlock

Every thing is as big as its time. You see right away what fits into today.

Without DayBlock

“Where on earth do I start?”

With DayBlock

One block is yellow: that one is due now. One button, and you get going.

Without DayBlock

“The evening feeling: got nothing done.”

With DayBlock

You see what you got done. What is left moves to tomorrow without nagging.

Try it

Type what is on today.

One sentence is enough. The block lands in your day. Check it off when it is done.

I will show you what is due.

1 of 3 done

No pressure

Did not get it done? That is fine too.

No red, no nagging, no streaks that drop to zero after one bad day. What is left waits for tomorrow. Good for everyone with a full head, also when starting is hard, for example with ADHD.

Coming from somewhere else?

Moving in takes 15 minutes

Simply bring your tasks along – from Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks or a piece of paper. DayBlock reads CSV files and plain lists, and takes its own backup back too. Completed items stay out automatically, nothing is overwritten.

  1. Export in your old app – or simply copy your list
  2. Paste into DayBlock: Settings → Data → Import
  3. Check the preview, restore, done – calendars come in as .ics

Why DayBlock exists

For years I had four apps at once: one for tasks, one for routines, one for notes, one for habits. Every morning I still stood there not knowing where to start. Everything was calling at once, and my head shut down.

What finally helped was something very simple: cutting the day into blocks. One block, one thing. Then the next. DayBlock is the tool I wished I had for that.

About me: I studied computer science and have been developing software in medicine for many years. My topics are patient safety, data protection and security – as a security champion I use threat modelling to work out where data could be attacked, before someone else does.

That is why I never liked many well-known tools: usually the provider can read everything, and the data sits on servers in the USA. I wanted something secure: end-to-end encrypted, on a server in Germany, without a corporation using your entries for training or selling. Only you can read your entries – not even I can.

Build the things you wish existed. – René

Day + Block = DayBlock Block your day.

Frequently asked questions

What does DayBlock cost?

In the closed beta DayBlock is free, without payment details. After that a fair subscription: €5.99 per month, €49 per year or €99 once.

Is my data safe?

Everything is encrypted in your browser already. My server only sees encrypted data – it is located in Germany.

Is there DayBlock for my phone?

Yes. DayBlock runs in the browser on phone, tablet and computer and can be added to your home screen like an app. Everything syncs between your devices.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Your changes are saved on the device and sent as soon as you are back online.

What if I forget my password?

With your recovery key of 24 words you get back in. Without it nobody can read your data – not even me.

Can I take my data with me or delete it?

Yes. You can export everything at any time and delete your account in the settings.

Can I bring my tasks from another app?

Yes. DayBlock reads your list from Todoist, TickTick and similar apps (as a CSV file or simply pasted text) and also restores its own DayBlock backup. Everything happens in your browser, completed items stay out, nothing is overwritten – and one click undoes the import. Calendars come in as .ics files.

Block your day.

Free in the beta, without payment details. Server in Germany, everything encrypted, export at any time.
