Hey everyone!

I’m building Dayfolio, a complete smart planner for reMarkable Paper Pro.

I’m a tech lead, and most of my day is context switching: meetings, teams, projects, interruptions, and decisions competing for attention.

I love the calm of writing on my reMarkable, but I always felt a gap between my digital calendar and my paper-like notes. My calendar had the structure. My handwritten notes had the thinking. But they lived in separate places.

So I started building Dayfolio from a simple frustration:

What if the intelligence of digital automation could be combined with the calm of paper and pen?

Dayfolio turns your calendar, meetings, notes, and daily planning into one connected paper-first workflow inside a clean, premium, colored planner — especially for recurring meetings, where context usually gets lost between weeks.

What it does:

- syncs Google Calendar / .ics events into your planner
- generates meeting note pages automatically for each event
- links calendar invites directly to their meeting note pages
- connects recurring meetings, so you can jump to the previous or next occurrence
- lets you open a meeting index for the full recurring series
- lets you filter only the meetings that have handwritten notes
- shows a daily view with your calendar, weather, an inspirational quote of the day, and space to set your focus and priorities
- includes day/week planning and weekly stats, like total meeting hours and conflict hours
- uses a clean, premium, colored planner design, with support for planner colors and invite colors
- keeps everything linked with intuitive navigation

I attached a short demo video showing the workflow.

It’s still early, and I’m looking for honest feedback from real reMarkable users before the public release.

Would this fit your workflow?
What feature would make it a must-have for your daily planning?
What’s missing from your current reMarkable planning workflow?

Solo iOS dev. Most modern planner apps drop you into AI rewriters, project trees, tag systems, and subscription gates in front of pretty basic features — after watching that pattern repeat for years, I decided to build my own clean alternative. Took roughly a year to ship. It's called DayPlan.

How it works in practice: open it, drag a task onto the timeline, you're done. No account, no onboarding gate, no come-back-please notifications.

The free tier is ad-free and gives you the actual planner — visual time blocking via drag-to-schedule, a smart inbox with on-device date parsing ("sport tomorrow 6pm" lands as a scheduled task), subtasks, recurrence patterns, per-task reminders, routines you can drop into any day with one tap, streaks, native widgets, Live Activity, and iPad universal. Premium adds the Week + Month views, iCloud sync, custom categories, day notes, and the Watch complication — the kind of things that mostly serve heavier planning, not the daily flow.

Two extras worth mentioning: Auto-Schedule slots your inbox into the day's free intervals with a single tap, and a one-slot day template lets you repeat a well-planned day on demand.

Built it mobile-first, dark-first, privacy-first. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose iCloud sync. No AI, no LLM telemetry — date parsing is deterministic regex on-device.

Try it for free: https://apps.apple.com/app/6766088035

Honest feedback from this sub would be appreciated — UI, naming, whatever stands out. And if a couple of you plan a day with it, that genuinely makes the year-long build feel worth it. 🙏

Does anyone put their entire life into a digital planner? Does it matter to you whether it's cloud-based or not? Do you use the same planner for your personal life as you do for work?

What works best for you?

So I built something different. A daily planner specifically for the way neurodivergent brains actually work — in bursts, not schedules. With dopamine, not discipline.

It starts with a brain dump — no filter, no judgement, just space to get everything out of your head.

It asks for three priorities. Just three. Because that's enough.

It has energy blocks instead of time blocks — because some mornings your brain is sharp and some mornings it just isn't, and a good system works either way.

And it closes with a single checkbox: "I showed up today. That counts."

Because you did. And it does.

I turned it into a Notion template and listed it if anyone wants to grab it — happy to drop the link in comments.

I have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to get some honest opinions from people here.
I feel like a lot of students don’t really have a clear system to plan out courses, internships, and long term career stuff all in one place. Everything ends up scattered between different tools or just in your head.
I tried putting together something simple for myself to organize all of this, and I am curious if something like this would actually be useful to other people or if I am overthinking the problem.
If anyone is open to taking a look and giving honest feedback, I would really appreciate it. I am not trying to promote anything, just want to understand if this is actually helpful or not.

Hello, recently I have started making planners for help in my day to day life! I made an etsy shop to share with other people that also need a little extra help with keeping up on day to day life, activities, appointments, and money saving. 😊 I hope you find these helpful as much as i do. They are great for teens/college students. 😄 Link in comments or bio! 💜

I have a vision in my mind of a (teacher) planner, that allows me to click and move lesson plans between days with little to no problem. I'm not looking for something with major fanfare (I don't need places to put common standards or things like that.) Just something where I can organize daily lesson plans and maybe a spot to include student behaviours, if necessary.

What is everyone using as teacher? Does something like this exist? I've used notion previously and maybe it's my fault, but it just didn't stick.

Edit to Add: I don't have an iPad or similar, so I'm looking for something usable on desktop!

Hi, does anyone know where I can find designers who create cute, themed digital planners? I’m not looking for plain or minimal styles, I’m interested in colorful, aesthetic designs

I’m specifically looking for planners with themes, such as four seasons, beach vibes, picnic bears, or similar cute and cohesive concepts.

Also, should I be searching for a specific type of designer for this? For example, would kids’ book illustrators or coloring book artists be the right direction, or is there a more suitable niche or platform I should look into?

Hi everyone, I am wanting to create some digital planners and budgeting planners that will solve quite a lot of problems and be very beneficial to the buyer.

To cater to this, I was wondering if you guys prefer planners that are specifically designed for a particular software (eg google sheets or goodnotes) or planners that are just a general design that can be Imported into different softwares.

If there is anything else that you guys wish digital planners included more often, please let me know so I can put them in as well!

I'll tell you what I would like in a digital planner - and it is okay to laugh, because I'm not at all sure it exists!

Ideally, the digital planner would be laid out a lot like the old Franklin Covey paper planner, but I would be able to easily move unfinished tasks from one day to the next day. I would also be able to copy and paste the words I enter. I would like it to be something compatible with typing digital words, and not just PDF.

I use an iPhone and the digital planner would need to be compatible with ios. I also use an Android tablet, so if the app syncs between my iPhone and tablet, that would be a big plus but it's not crucial.

Please let me know of any apps that sound something like what I'm interested in. If what I am interested in just doesn't exist, please let me know that too. If it doesn't exist I'll have to stop looking and just go with the best I can find. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi everyone,

I shared an earlier version of my serverless productivity/time-blocking app here a while back, and I’ve just pushed a major update. The big focus is privacy—all data stays in your browser.

Old version link: https://nitish-17.github.io/Timebox/
Updated version link: https://nitish-17.github.io/Timebox-v2/

What’s New:

  • Smart Notes: Added both date-specific and common notes. You can also convert a note(bullet points) directly into a tasks.
  • Energy Level Tracking: You can set your start and end times so the app maps your energy (max at start, minimum at end). Press . to toggle a the energy level view.
  • Local AI Integration: I’ve added AI features that don’t compromise your data. You can configure it to use Ollama or LM Studio by pressing , (I have primarily tested it with Ollama).
    • How to use AI: If Ollama is running, just press / to generate tasks, break down complex tasks into sub-steps, or ask the AI questions.
  • Built with Gemini CLI: I created this primarily for my own workflow, but if you find it useful, feel free to use it or fork it and modify it to your liking. If you use Gemini CLI, you can just open the project and say things like "add this to the left column" or "tweak the middle column," and it will handle the code changes for you.
