MyDayPilotChoose your Top 3.
Give today a little direction with up to three priorities. Plan ahead for any date, then tap each one when you finish it.
A little more focus. A little less to remember.
Remember what's next.
Know what's done.
Your reminders, your daily checks, and the things people ask of you. Just today and tomorrow.
Currently in limited TestFlight testing.
Did I already do that?
Most reminders tell you when to do something. Sometimes the real question is whether you already did. Check off a Must Not Forget item when it's done, and the answer is there the next time you wonder. Items reset each morning, and past days stay in your history.
MyDayPilot shows what you checked off. It can't know whether the task was actually done, so it isn't a safety system.
A place for the big things. And the little ones.
Less to hold in your head.
Start with Today + Tomorrow, use Day View for a timeline, or open Next 21 Days to look ahead at upcoming reminders and bills.
Give reminders a home.
Keep one-time events and repeating reminders together: daily, weekly, every other week, monthly, or yearly. Choose All Day or a time in 15-minute steps, and mark bills so they stand out. Timed reminders start with Alerts On; turn Alerts Off to keep one visible without an alarm. A crossed-out bell shows which ones are quiet.
The checks you don’t want to skip.
Add up to eight Must Not Forget checks, like the stove, the doors, or the cat. They reset every morning. Add a time for an alarm with early nudges, and tap when it’s done.
Bring in what you already have.
Pull in your iPhone calendar events and Apple Reminders for the year ahead. MyDayPilot keeps its own copies and checks your selected import source once a day when you open or return to the app.
One less thing to remember
Give recurring bills
a place in your plan.
Rent, utilities, insurance, subscriptions—keep track of the bills that matter to you. Set a reminder for when each payment is due, choose whether it repeats, and mark it as a bill so it stands out.
- Keep bills alongside the rest of your day.
- Choose a schedule that fits the payment.
- Spot upcoming bills in Today + Tomorrow and the Next 21 Days look-ahead.
From “I should” to “I did.”
Open it. Add three things.
You’re done.
No account to create. Your planner lives on your phone and works without a connection.
Type today’s Top 3.
Up to three priorities, so today has a direction.
Add your must-not-forget checks.
The stove, the doors, the cat. Give one a time if you want an alert.
Tap + and write a reminder.
Type it in plain words, like “Dentist Thursday 2pm,” and check the date and time before it saves.
Planning can be personal.
Make it work
for your life.
Let the people who care help you remember.
Invite up to five trusted people. Each gets a private link to suggest a reminder, like “Dentist Thursday at 2.” You see every suggestion and choose to accept or dismiss it. They can’t see your planner or change anything you’ve added, and you can remove anyone at any time. Share each link only with the person it’s for.
The things your loved ones ask of you, waiting until you're done.
When someone asks for something, add it as a request. It stays on your list, day after day, until you check it off. With a finish-by date, it shows a countdown and joins a combined daily notification on selected days before it is due, on its due date, and while overdue. Without a finish-by date, it stays on your list without deadline alerts. Your Support Circle can send suggestions too: they arrive in Incoming Suggestions, where you can accept them as requests.
Look back at what you’ve done.
Review the last 365 days of Top 3, Must Not Forget and Request completions, see timing for timed daily routines, and export a PDF with summaries and trends.
Comfortable to use, every day.
Choose your text size, light or dark appearance, section colors, and alert sounds.
Simple pricing
Everything included.
No surprises.
At launch, try MyDayPilot free for 14 days with every feature turned on. After that it’s $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year (USD). The trial requires no purchase and does not automatically charge you. Repeating reminders, Requests, alarms, calendar import, history, backup, and the Support Circle are all part of the one price. No locked features, and no upgrade prompts to add one more thing.
Plan up to three priorities per day, eight Must Not Forget routines, 25 open Requests, and five Support Circle people. Older testers who already had more than eight routines can keep them.
Launch pricing and the free trial are planned and may change before release. Testers are not charged.
Why MyDayPilot exists
I didn't set out to build an app.
I set out to solve my own problems. I forget things, every day: something I meant to do, something someone asked me to take care of, and sometimes whether I already did something at all.
I tried other planners. They gave me more to manage, more to organize, and more to think about. I didn't need a bigger system. I needed a smaller one, so I made one that shows only today and tomorrow.
Everything in MyDayPilot started as a real frustration in my own life. When I ran into another problem, I found a way to solve it. When something didn't work the way I needed, I changed it. That's still how it grows.
I built it for myself, but I doubt I'm the only one. If this sounds like you, I hope MyDayPilot helps.
Before you get started
A few useful answers.
Can I download MyDayPilot now?
MyDayPilot is in limited iPhone testing through Apple TestFlight. Access is by invitation; there is no public App Store release yet. If you already have an invitation, use the link your testing organizer sent you.
What will it cost?
Pricing isn’t live yet, and testers are not charged. The plan for launch is a free 14-day trial with everything included, then $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year (USD). The trial requires no purchase and does not automatically charge you. There is no ongoing free tier after the trial.
Do I need an account?
Not to start planning. Your planner works on your phone, even without a connection. You only need an email address, confirmed with a link and no password, to turn on backup or the Support Circle. If a confirmation email does not arrive, contact support.
Will every reminder make a sound?
No. All Day reminders have no timed alert. Timed reminders start with Alerts On, but you can turn Alerts Off above Cancel and Save; a crossed-out bell marks them. In Settings → Early Nudge Alerts, choose one early warning at 15 or 30 minutes for ordinary reminders. Must Not Forget has two early warnings, at 30 and 15 minutes, plus its main alarm. With sound enabled, those MNF warnings play two and three beeps respectively; a reminder’s single warning plays three beeps. Turning early nudges Off does not turn off the main alarm. Choose its sound under Main Alarm.
Open MyDayPilot at least once a week to refresh upcoming alerts; you do not need to leave it running. Some schedules can run out of prepared alerts after a long gap. Your iPhone’s notification, sound and Focus settings affect delivery. If the schedule is very busy, some early nudges may be paused to make room for main alarms.
Is MyDayPilot a safety system?
No. MyDayPilot is a planner that helps you remember. It can’t replace turning off the stove or locking the door, and alerts depend on your phone’s notification and Focus settings. Please don’t rely on it for safety-critical reminders.
Where is my planning history stored?
On your phone. Your most recent 365 days of history are kept there. If you turn on backup, an encrypted copy of your planner and history goes to iCloud or MyDayPilot Cloud, and you can restore it later. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Can the people I invite see my planner?
No. They can only suggest a reminder, and nothing is added unless you accept it. Each person has their own private link, and you can remove anyone at any time.
Does it work with my calendar and Apple Reminders?
Yes, you can import both. MyDayPilot makes its own copies, so changing them does not change the originals.
What is a Request?
A request is something someone asked you to do. Unlike a Top 3 goal or a daily Must Not Forget check, it stays on your list until you complete it. You can add a finish-by date and get a gentle countdown. Completed requests are recorded in your history. You can have up to 25 open Requests. Swipe right for Done or Add to Top 3, and left for Delete. Completed cards turn blue and remain available to Undo for seven days. Add to Top 3 copies a Request into today’s empty slot only; it does not complete it or carry it into tomorrow. Requests are listed separately from Day View and Next 21 Days.
How do I back up and restore my planner?
Open Settings → Backup and Restore and choose iCloud or MyDayPilot Cloud. Tap Start Backing Up for the first verified copy, then Back Up Now whenever you want an immediate backup. Backups include reminders, Requests, Top 3, Must Not Forget, history and settings. Normal automatic backups wait 30 minutes after your latest change, with a maximum 60-minute deferral while the app can run. Closing the app or losing connectivity can delay them. Unchanged data does not trigger a new automatic upload, and Off keeps existing saved copies.
Use Restore My Latest Backup or Choose an Older Backup, then Restore This Backup and review the replacement warning. Browsing alone changes nothing. Undo My Last Restore recovers the safety copy from just before your last restore. iCloud also requires the same Apple Account.
How do I see reminders hidden below the first few?
Scroll within Today’s Reminders or Tomorrow’s Reminders. “More reminders” appears when more are below. With more than four reminders, hold one still for two seconds to open the larger list. Tap a reminder to edit it or swipe left for Delete.
Can I use it on Android or in a browser?
The current testing release is for iPhone. This website explains the app and provides help; it is not a web version of your planner. Other platforms have not been announced.
Is MyDayPilot related to DayPilot scheduling software?
No. MyDayPilot is an independent iPhone daily planner app.
