DayPilot Focus-first planning

Auto-scheduling for people with real calendars

Your to-do list, turned into a day that works.

DayPilot breaks your tasks into focused blocks, fits them around your meetings, and re-plans on its own when the day changes. You just do the next thing.

Free for one person, forever. No credit card.

  • Plans around Google Calendar
  • Re-plans every 15 minutes
  • Moves up what you keep missing
  • Turns emails into tasks

How it works

Three steps from “I should” to “done.”

  1. 1

    Capture it

    Add a task with a rough estimate and a due date, or, with Pro, simply forward an email. Big jobs split into blocks the size you choose.

  2. 2

    DayPilot plans it

    Every block lands inside your working hours, around the busy events on your calendar, ahead of its deadline.

  3. 3

    The plan keeps up

    Run long, skip a block or take a surprise meeting, and DayPilot re-plans the rest. You always know what to do next.

Auto-scheduling

Time for your work, found automatically.

Tell DayPilot how long something will take and when it's due. It splits the work into blocks, finds open time in your working hours and steers around every busy meeting, so a six-hour project becomes six calm hours spread across your week.

  • Chunking that fits real days. Choose the block length; DayPilot spreads the blocks out before the deadline.
  • Working hours you define. Several windows a day, in your own time zone.
  • You stay in charge. Drag any block to a new time, and pin it so the planner works around it.
  • No surprises at the deadline. If something can't finish in time, you see it right away, not the morning it's due.

Re-planning and escalation

When the day slips, the plan doesn't break.

Meetings run over. Kids get sick. Every 15 minutes DayPilot checks your plan and moves unfinished blocks to the next open time, so your schedule is always one you can actually keep.

And it notices what you keep putting off. Every missed block is counted. Miss a task twice and it climbs a priority level, up to two levels, so the work you've been avoiding gets first claim on your best hours.

  1. Tue · 2:00 PM Review pull requests Missed. Moved to Wednesday morning.
  2. Wed · 9:00 AM Review pull requests Missed again. Medium to High
  3. Wed · 1:00 PM Review pull requests Planned first thing after lunch. Done.

Email to task Pro

Forward the email. Get a planned task.

Every Pro account gets a private DayPilot address. Forward a request, copy it on a thread, or send yourself a note from your phone. DayPilot reads it, drafts a clear title and summary, estimates the effort, picks up any deadline, and plans it into your week.

  • Nothing gets lost. The original email rides along as an attachment.
  • Only from people you trust. Tasks come from your own address and senders you approve.

Teams Team

Plan together without stepping on toes.

Invite your team to a shared workspace. Organize shared work into groups, let managers hand it out, and every assignment lands in that person's own plan, around their own calendar. Private tasks stay private.

  • Groups with managers. Managers assign; members see what's theirs.
  • Pro for everyone. Each member gets calendar sync, their own task inbox and templates.
  • One flat price. Up to 5 people on Team, 10 on Team Plus, more on Organization.

And everything around it

The details that make a plan worth trusting.

Calendar sync, both ways Pro

Busy Google Calendar events block time and free ones don't. Planned blocks are written back to the calendar you choose, so your phone shows the real plan.

Projects and subtasks

Color-coded projects, and subtasks whose progress rolls up to the parent on its own.

Recurring tasks

Finish a recurring task and the next one appears, ready to be planned.

Templates Pro

Save a task or a whole project workflow, then recreate it in one click, already split into blocks.

Rich notes and files

Headings, checklists, links, images and code in every task, with attachments alongside.

Schedules and time zones

Working hours with several windows a day, in your own time zone. Pro adds a schedule for every part of life.

Drag, drop and pin

Move any block by hand. Pin it, and the planner plans everything else around it.

Today and your focus queue

Overdue, due-soon and in-progress work on one screen, with escalated tasks first.

DayPilot for iPhone

Sign in your way
