How can we help?
Answers to common questions, and the fastest way to report a problem during the beta.
How do I get early access?
Join the waitlist. We invite people in small groups, with no set dates, and joining doesn't guarantee an invite. If you're invited, you'll get an email with onboarding steps. The limited beta community download is also available. The app is notarized by Apple and updates itself; Google sign-in may be limited to invited accounts.
macOS won't open DayBoard. What do I do?
The current app and its disk image are signed and notarized. The download page has the install steps. If macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet, click Open. If it blocks the download or app, contact the DayBoard team with the warning text and your macOS version. On beta 11 or earlier, install the current beta using the install steps.
Which Macs are supported?
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs aren't supported yet.
Do I need all four services?
No. Turn on only the sources you use in Settings → Sources. Google services need a Google sign-in, and Apple Reminders asks for macOS permission.
Does DayBoard require an AI account?
No. AI is optional and off until you choose a provider. If you turn it on, only the context each request needs is sent to that provider.
Is my data sent to DayBoard?
No. DayBoard talks directly to Google and to Apple Reminders on your Mac. There's no DayBoard server that sees your calendar, tasks, reminders or mail. See where your data goes.
Will DayBoard stay free?
Yes. DayBoard is free, and during the beta so is AI. When paid builds ship, the AI features need DayBoard Pro: $5 once, with a 7-day AI trial and a 14-day refund. See pricing. The source stays open under GPL-3.0, so you can always build it yourself.
How do I leave the waitlist?
Email the DayBoard team and we'll delete your address. See the privacy policy for what we store.
