No red. No “overdue.” No broken plan. It just finds the next spot that fits — and waits for you there.

The difference you feel first

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

Streaks, red badges, “overdue” counts — the machinery that makes ADHD brains feel broken. composeDay is built the other way, on purpose.

Most planners

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

composeDay

Passed by — moved to a spot that fits. Nothing is 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. No red, no “failed,” no punishment — nothing is ever lost.

Celebrate the attempt

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

Only what matters now

No overwhelming list. Just your next thing, until you choose to expand.

Your defaults, not ours

Everything is adjustable to how you work. Configure once — then stop deciding.

The whole system

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

Sixteen engines, one idea: a day shaped around your real life and your real brain, that never punishes you for being human. Explore any of them.

Try it — start something

The win is showing up.

Tap it once. Tap it five times. It celebrates every single start — the first and the fifth — and never once 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 — all shifted earlier with today’s sunrise, automatically.

6:00

Fajr, with its wudu prep chain. Missed Asr yesterday? It’s one gentle makeup task, never “failed.”

10:00

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

15:20

Client call slips. It quietly reschedules the illustration review to the next slot that fits. No red.

19:15

Iftar — meal, hydration, and evening meds 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 — 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 10-minute meditation — peers to prayer on the same engine, not a religious afterthought.

12:00

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

16:30

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

21:00

Spends a rest token. Three a week, 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 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. Forever.

Only things with a real running cost — AI breakdowns, live social presence, deep pattern-learning — are ever Pro, and always optional. 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 adaptive scheduling engine
  • Prayer times & personal rhythms
  • Watched Mode, all timers, Breathing Room
  • Trackers, capture, encrypted local backup

Pro — optimize, don’t survive

  • AI task breakdowns & smart minimums
  • Live body-double & cross-device sync
  • Pattern & peak-focus learning
  • Unlimited day models & trackers
Private by design

Nothing to breach.

Works fully offline. Optional sync mirrors to your cloud, end-to-end encrypted — we hold no server-side copy of your day. Sensitive trackers stay on-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 — 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 way through the day.”

And, always —

Have a composed day.
