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.
Quietly powerful
It’s not just gentle. It’s genuinely clever.
Under the calm surface is real machinery, the kind most planners don’t have. A taste of what’s waiting, all of it free.
Rules that read like sentences
“When I get home, remind me to unload the car.” “Every other Friday, bins out.” You write it in plain words, and it never once touches your GPS.
See how → Errand runsErrands that gather into one run
Tag where a task happens and same-place tasks fall into a single trip, with one “arriving home” list instead of a buzz at every shop.
See how → Watched ModeA coach in your pocket
It talks you through the shower or the dishes, one step at a time, and takes a mumbled “mhm” for yes when words are too much.
See how → Rhythm engineYour rhythms run the day
Prayer, fasting, cycles, or your own rituals become the anchors everything else composes around, worked out offline from the sun.
See how → AttentionIt rations its own voice
A notification budget that quiets itself when you stop listening, so a loaded day never turns the app into a nag machine.
See how → Time-blindnessTime you can actually feel
A timer that ticks in pure seconds, because “five minutes” is abstract and 300, 299, 298 is not.
See how →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.
The day is never lost
It recomposes your day when you slip, celebrates you for starting, and keeps a progress view that can’t go down. Fresh Start, comebacks, invisible wins.

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.
Suhur, hydration, and meds. On a short summer night it guards her sleep and wakes her just in time, no earlier.
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.”
Deep-work block, dropped into her peak-focus window. Errands all batched into one Thursday run.
A client call slips. It quietly recomposes the afternoon around the gap. No red.
Iftar at last light. 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.
Shift begins, and the app goes quiet. “I’m Occupied” pauses its attention until he’s back.
It learned his focus bottoms out here, so it stopped nudging him at 4am.
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.
Her 16:8 fast opens (noon to 8pm, fixed). Classes stay locked as anchors; everything else flows around them.
Energy crashes. She taps Breathing Room. The whole day’s expectation drops to her minimum set, with no nagging.
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: every engine, generous limits, nothing walled off by kind. Pro only ever does two things. It raises the numbers, and it adds the handful of features that genuinely cost money to run (AI, live sessions, cross-device sync). No monthly subscription, on purpose: annual or lifetime only, because a monthly cancel-cycle is its own kind of ADHD guilt.
Free, forever
- The whole scheduling engine, day models, rhythms, and prayer times
- Watched Mode, Focus mode, every timer, alarms, Breathing Room
- The rules engine, errand-runs, gates and dependencies, all on-device
- Kanban, capture, search, widgets, and encrypted backup to your own cloud
- Every core feature, with generous limits (8 day models, 8 habits split freely between building and quitting, 8 trackers)
Pro, whenever it helps
- More of everything: unlimited day models, habits, trackers, and rules
- AI task breakdowns and scaled-down “good enough” minimums
- Live body-double sessions and cross-device sync
- Sharper learned suggestions and deeper stats
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.
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.
