#  Daily

**Daily** is an AI-powered task manager focused on productivity, minimalism, aesthetics, and day-to-day planning.

---

## Overview

Daily is built around a simple question:

**What did I do yesterday, and what matters today?**

It combines day-based planning, fast task operations, and an execution-focused AI assistant in a local-first app for macOS.

## Core Principles

- **Day-first workflow**: tasks are organized by date, not buried in endless lists.

- **Local-first architecture**: your data stays on your Mac and works offline.

- **Action over chat**: AI is built to execute operations, not just answer questions.

---

## Features

### Plan your day

#### Tasks are grouped by day, with fast date switching, month navigation (wheel/swipe), and keyboard-driven flow.

### Organize work visually

#### Use both **List** and **Board** layouts. Empty columns can be hidden/collapsed, and tasks can be moved or reordered.

#### Context menu provides quick task actions without leaving the current view.

#### Projects/branches let you isolate task spaces. Switch branch in header, manage projects in Settings, move tasks across projects, and navigate from search with automatic branch switch.

#### Tasks can be rescheduled to another day in a few steps.

### Capture rich task details

#### Task content supports markdown, file/image attachments, and tag-based organization.

#### Inline commands work in-editor: `#tag` adds, `-#tag` removes, with autocomplete.

### Find and recover quickly

#### Fuzzy search scans all tasks, tolerates typos, and jumps directly to the target date.

![Search Tasks](./media/showcase/search.gif)

#### Deleted tasks can be restored or permanently removed.

### Stay local, sync when needed

iCloud sync is optional. The app remains local-first and fully usable offline.

UI customization includes 9+ themes, including Glass UI.

## AI Assistant

Daily includes an in-app AI assistant that executes real operations in your workspace.

### What it can do

The assistant performs real in-app operations: task CRUD, status updates, date-based search, batch actions, tag/time/attachment management, and day summaries.

### Typical prompts

- "Create a task to review the PR tomorrow at 2pm"

- "I spent 2 hours on the documentation task"

- "Complete all my work tasks for today"

- "How's my day going?"

### Model options

Both runtime modes are supported: local models and remote API models.

| Local models                                           | Remote models (OpenAI-compatible)                        |

| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |

| Run fully offline with llama.cpp                       | Use cloud models with your API key                       |

| Metal acceleration on macOS                            | No local model download required                         |

| Three curated local profiles: fast, balanced, quality  | Access latest hosted models                              |

## Privacy and Data Control

Daily stores data locally on your Mac by default.

- No account required

- No mandatory cloud dependency

- Works offline

- Optional iCloud sync

- Local-first storage with data integrity safeguards

## Platform Support

> [!NOTE]

> **macOS Only**: Daily currently supports only macOS. While Electron supports cross-platform deployment, Windows/Linux builds are not officially supported yet due to limited testing coverage.(or I'm just lazy 🤷‍♂️).

---

## Installation

Install with Homebrew:

```bash

brew install --cask scheron/tap/daily

```

Or install manually:

1. Open [Releases](https://github.com/scheron/Daily/releases)

2. Download the latest macOS `.dmg`

3. Move **Daily.app** to **Applications**

If macOS blocks launch because the app is not notarized, run:

```bash

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Daily.app

```
