Illustration with fictional events, tasks and messages.
A calendar that also shows what's due.
Month, week and schedule views put your events, tasks and reminders on the same grid, so a crowded Thursday looks crowded before you get there.
- Month, week and schedule layouts
- Tasks and reminders on their due dates
- Peek at your calendar beside any page with ⌥⌘K
Tasks and Reminders, finally together.
Keep work in Google Tasks and errands in Apple Reminders, and see both in one list. Found the same to-do in both? Link them, and checking off one completes the other.
- Edit titles, notes and due dates without leaving DayBoard
- Linked duplicates show up once in your Agenda
- Every change syncs back to Google and Apple
Mail that sits next to your plans.
Read, reply and send without leaving your day. Snooze a message until later, or bring a thread back to Home if nobody replies. Optional AI highlights what needs your attention.
- Write and send mail, with a configurable Undo send window
- Optional Needs reply, FYI and Ignorable chips with one-line summaries
- Snooze, follow-up reminders and a subscriptions manager
An assistant beside your day.
Open Ask Assistant beside any view with ⌥⌘J. The email, event or to-do you have open becomes a context chip, so you can ask about it without copying it into a new chat. Keep or remove context before sending.
- Choose a provider; AI stays off until you do
- Claude Code, Codex or your own API key, including xAI Grok
- Review proposed items before adding them in Ask first mode
- Manage memories and see recorded AI usage in Settings
- Optional local MCP for your own AI tools, with a tool activity log
Screenshots show DayBoard beta 17 with fictional demo data and sample AI responses.
Keep your place. Move at your pace.
Notes that stay close
Write Markdown with a live preview, find notes from the command menu, and save an Assistant conversation as a note.
Find it with ⌘K
Jump to a view or item, run an action, or hand a question to the Assistant. Open tabs, reorder the sidebar and press ? for the shortcuts.
A glance from the menu bar
See today's items, your next meeting and mail waiting on you. Quick Capture adds a task, reminder or event from another app using your chosen AI provider.
Your day stays between you and your Mac.
There's no DayBoard server that sees your calendar, tasks, reminders or mail.
Stored on your Mac
Settings, linked items and Assistant history are saved locally. Sign-in tokens are encrypted with macOS's built-in protection.
Straight to the source
DayBoard talks directly to Google's APIs, and to Apple Reminders through macOS. Nothing passes through a service of ours.
AI on your terms
AI stays off until you pick a provider. When you use it, only the context that request needs goes to that provider. Read the data guide
Road Map
What's available in beta 18 and what's still ahead. Google access may be limited to invited accounts.
Available in the beta
Shipped in the current limited beta.
- Home and Agenda. Mail that needs you, tasks and meetings for today or this week, with all four sources together in Agenda.
- Mail you can act on. Send with Undo, snooze, follow-up reminders, subscriptions and optional AI triage.
- Ask beside any view. Context chips, model and effort controls, optional memory, and providers including xAI Grok with your own API key.
- Notes, tabs and keyboard navigation. Markdown notes, ⌘K, calendar peek, mail shortcuts and a sidebar you can arrange.
- Quick Capture and the menu bar. Add items from another app, see your next meeting and check what's waiting on you.
- A signed, notarized Mac app. For Apple silicon and macOS 14+, with new betas installed when you restart.
A limited beta download is available. Google access may require an invite; joining the waitlist doesn't guarantee one. Checkout isn't open yet.
In progress
Work underway now.
- Mac refinements. Continuing to check window behavior, system panels and notifications alongside the new views.
- Google connection reliability. Improving sign-in and syncing; access outside the invited test audience is not yet promised.
- Sign in with ChatGPT. Signing in with a ChatGPT account directly is being built and isn't in the beta. Today you can use a ChatGPT account through Codex, or use a separate OpenAI API key.
Planned
Next on the list, with no dates yet.
- DayBoard Pro checkout. The planned $5 AI-only unlock is described on the pricing page. Checkout will open after the payment flow is verified; every feature stays free during the beta.
Plans may change. Invited onboarding remains through the waitlist.
Is the beta free?
Yes. Beta testers get every feature at no cost, and DayBoard Pro free when paid builds ship. After that, DayBoard stays free and its AI features need Pro: $5 once. See pricing. The source stays open under GPL-3.0.
Which Macs does it run on?
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs aren't supported yet.
How do I get early access?
Join the waitlist with your email. If you'll connect Google, use that Google account's address. We invite people in small groups, with no set dates, and joining doesn't guarantee an invite. If you're invited, you'll get a download link and onboarding steps. A limited beta community download is also available. The app is notarized and updates itself; Google sign-in may be limited to invited accounts.
Will macOS let me open it?
Yes. The current DayBoard app and its disk image are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The download page has the install steps. Beta 11 and earlier can't update themselves: install the latest beta over them once, and later betas arrive in the app.
Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?
DayBoard can use the Claude Code and Codex apps already on your Mac for its AI features, which apps from the App Store aren't allowed to do. Downloading it directly keeps those features.
Do I need all four services?
No. Turn on only the sources you use. Google services need a Google sign-in, and Apple Reminders asks for macOS permission.
Do I have to use AI?
No. Every AI feature is optional and stays off until you choose a provider.
Can I build it myself?
Yes. The source is on GitHub under GPL-3.0, with build instructions in the README.
Get your day on the board.
