Finalist

Finalist: Daily Planner is a daily planning app inspired by paper planner.

Integrating calendar events, task lists, notes, reminders, and weather forecasts onto a single, beautiful timeline. It also incorporates journaling suggestions and an activity ring to help users maintain inspiration and motivation. Designed for people who truly want to get things done, the app rejects complex workflows and empty productivity displays. Finalist Users can freely switch between the classic Daybook stacked layout and the Broadsheet newsprint-inspired design, rearranging sections and saving custom presets using the layout editor. The reconstructed timeline allows users to drag tasks onto a grid to sketch their day’s schedule with a pencil, then finalize it. The Notes tab provides notebooks, tags, and search capabilities, allowing users to use native notes synced via iCloud, connect to Markdown folders, or even edit in place using an Obsidian repository. Finalist Tasks within these notes automatically become real tasks that can be checked off anywhere in the app. The Apple Watch app condenses the entire day’s schedule into a glance, with the top Now card always showing the next priority. It supports checking off fixed lists from your wrist and adding tasks using the keyboard, drawing, or dictation. The app also features a weekly cross-page view, a scoring system, habit tracking, tag time reports, and Siri voice management capabilities. Built on native Apple technology, it syncs via iCloud without requiring account creation, supports family sharing, runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro, and provides full database backup and JSON/OPML import/export functionality.
