About Daylta

Why Daylta exists

Most productivity apps assume discipline the user doesn't have yet. Most habit apps count streaks without ever looking at what the rest of the day looks like. Daylta's premise is simple: a day well planned leaves room for the habits that matter, and habits stick when they are anchored to a visible daily timeline.

So we put both in one place: a planner that shows your free time honestly, a timer that makes planned time real, and stats that compare what you planned against what you did. Then we wrapped it in something warm, because showing up daily should feel rewarding rather than dutiful. That is where Bitsy came from.

What we believe

Local-first, private-first

Insights are computed on your device. You should never wonder where your day's data went.

Plan, do, reflect

Every feature must serve one of those three verbs or connect two of them. Otherwise it doesn't ship.

Encourage, never shame

A missed day is a restart, not a red mark. Copy, mascot and scoring all obey this rule.

Honest numbers

Planned-versus-actual is shown even when it's unflattering. That contrast is the coaching.

Low-friction capture

Logging water, starting a task or taking a break is one or two taps from the home screen.

A simplicity budget

New capability must reuse an existing surface, be invisible, or replace something weaker. One primary action per screen.

Who it's for

We started with teens and students balancing study, fitness, sleep and screen-time pressure, who found conventional productivity tools overwhelming. Along the way we found that a lot of adults wanted the same thing: lightweight day planning plus habit and health tracking in one place, without handing personal data to a cloud service.
