A gentler daily planner

composeDay

Compose your day, your way.

It works with your brain instead of fighting it. An ADHD woman built it because nothing else did: compose a day that actually fits you, then stay composed while you live it.

Launching 2026. Early access soon.

Try it: miss a task on purpose

No red, no “overdue,” nothing breaks. It just recomposes your day around the miss and waits for you there, like it always assumed you’d be back.

The difference you feel first

Most planners run on guilt. This one doesn’t.

Streaks you break, a red badge, a running count of everything you didn’t get to. That’s the machinery that quietly teaches an ADHD brain it’s broken. composeDay leaves it out, and keeps you composed instead.

Most planners

3 tasks overdue. Your streak is broken. Try again tomorrow.

composeDay

Passed by, and moved to a spot that fits. Nothing lost.

Most planners

You get the checkmark only when it’s finished.

composeDay

The good feeling fires the moment you start, because starting is the hard part.

Most planners

A wall of everything you haven’t done, staring back at you.

composeDay

Just your next thing, until you choose to see more.

A planner that’s on your side.

The day is never lost

Miss something and it quietly slots back in. Nothing turns red, nothing gets labeled failed, and nothing is ever lost.

Celebrate the attempt

The win is starting, not finishing. The good feeling fires the moment you begin.

Only what matters now

No overwhelming list. Just your next thing, until you choose to see the rest.

Your defaults, not ours

Everything is adjustable to how you actually work. Set it up once, then stop deciding.

The whole system

Not a to-do list. A system that bends to you.

Sixteen engines, one idea: you compose the day around your real life and your real brain, and it never punishes you for being human. Have a look at any of them.

Try it: start something

The win is showing up.

Tap it once. Tap it five times. It celebrates the fifth start as warmly as the first, and never makes you feel bad for needing to begin again.

Go on, press it.

Real weeks, set up once

One engine. Every kind of life.

It bends to faith, to shift work, or to your own quiet routines, whatever anchors your days. Three people, three very different days.

5:10

Suhur, hydration, and meds, all shifted earlier with today’s sunrise, automatically.

6:00

Fajr, gently within its window, with its wudu prep chain. Miss a prayer and the makeup slots in before the next one, in order, the same day. Never “failed.”

10:00

Deep-work block, dropped into her peak-focus window. Errands all batched into one Thursday run.

15:20

A client call slips. It quietly recomposes the afternoon around the gap. No red.

19:15

Iftar. Meal, hydration, and evening meds all moved with sunset, no re-planning.

His “day” starts at 4pm this week. Meals, meds, and sleep all key off the shift, not the calendar.

19:00

Shift begins, and the app goes quiet. “I’m Occupied” pauses its attention until he’s back.

04:00

It learned his focus bottoms out here, so it stopped nudging him at 4am.

08:00

Home. A protected recovery block after every shift, so he actually sleeps.

A phone-free morning ritual and a 10-minute meditation, treated as peers to prayer on the same engine, not a religious afterthought.

12:00

Her 16:8 fast opens (noon to 8pm, fixed). Classes stay locked as anchors; everything else flows around them.

16:30

Energy crashes. She taps Breathing Room. The whole day’s expectation drops to her minimum set, with no nagging.

21:00

She spends a rest token. Three a week, and they never expire. Resting is never failing.

The promise

Everything you need to survive your day is free.

Most planners hand you a taster and lock the features you actually need behind “Pro.” composeDay draws the line somewhere more honest: by what it costs to run.

If it runs on your device, it’s free. Capture, scheduling, prayer times, timers, Watched Mode, trackers, your own-cloud backup. All of it, forever.

You’ll never hit a wall that says “upgrade to plan your day.” The free tier is the whole app. Pro just adds a few shortcuts on top, it stays optional, and there’s no monthly subscription: annual or lifetime only, because a monthly cancel-cycle is its own kind of ADHD guilt.

Free, forever

  • The whole adaptive scheduling engine
  • Prayer times and personal rhythms
  • Watched Mode, every timer, Breathing Room
  • Capture and encrypted backup on your device
  • Day models, habits, and trackers to run your week (8 day models, 8 habits split freely between building and quitting, and 2 trackers on free, unlimited on Pro)

Pro, whenever it helps

  • AI that breaks a dreaded task into a first step
  • A live body-double, and your day synced across devices
  • Learning that finds your patterns and your best hours
  • Extra companions, deeper stats, and the limits lifted
Private by design

Nothing to breach.

It works fully offline. Optional sync mirrors to your own cloud, end-to-end encrypted, so we never hold a server-side copy of your day. Sensitive trackers stay on your device, invisible to every social feature and notification.

Yours to keep

No account required.

Core features need no sign-in and no connection. Sign in only when it buys you something, like cross-device sync, and even then your data never becomes ours.

Made by someone who needed it

“Every other planner made me feel broken. Streaks that shamed me, a red badge for being human. So I built the one I actually needed: no guilt, no punishment, just a calm, composed way through the day.”

composeDay. Built by an ADHD woman, for ADHD brains.

And, always:

Have a composed day.
