Features

Everything PathDay can do

Every feature is free and stays free. Scan the practice you care about and find the tools that fit how you work.

Tasks

Capture everything, plan today with confidence

Organize all you need to do, then work from one clear Today view.

Unlimited tasks and subtasks

Capture everything, then break big tasks into checklists of smaller steps.

Today-focused planning

One clear view of what needs attention now, with overdue and upcoming still visible.

Categories for every area of life

Each category has a name, icon, and color, and tasks are filed into exactly one of them, or none at all.

Inline #hashtag tags

Type a #hashtag in a task name and filter by tag everywhere in the app.

Color-coded priorities

None, Low, Medium, High, or Critical, visible at a glance in every list.

Quick bulk editing

Select multiple tasks and set Date, Category, or Priority for all of them at once.

Recurring and flexible scheduling

Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly patterns, with single-occurrence or whole-series edits.

Reminders and notifications

Up to two reminders per task, using presets or a custom date and time.

Attachments and audio memos

Attach photos and files, and record audio memos with on-device transcription.

Inbox

Capture now, decide later

The Inbox gives every stray thought a place to land in one tap, then Process Inbox clears it in one deliberate pass.

Capture without deciding

An Inbox item arrives with no date and no category, so capturing costs you nothing and interrupts nothing.

Process the whole queue

Your inbox sits on one screen with a progress strip counting down. Tick one item or several, then choose Schedule, Snooze, or Update.

Schedule in a tap

Today, Tomorrow, This weekend, Next week, or pick a date. Giving an item a day is what takes it out of the Inbox.

Snooze and Someday

Not yet is a real answer. Snooze for a week or a month and it comes back on its own, or send it to Someday and it waits indefinitely.

Annotate without filing

Set a category, priority, or tag mid-pass and the item stays in the queue. Those answer what a thing is, not when you will do it.

Review Someday

A separate pass over everything you set aside, with Activate, Keep, or Delete on each one, so Someday never quietly becomes a graveyard.

Habits

Routines that actually stick

Flexible habit tracking designed for everyday life.

Five flexible types

Simple, Segment, Count, List, and Measure, so every routine fits the way you actually live.

Streaks and trends

A streak flame that turns orange at seven days, plus seven-day trend charts.

Log any day

Log any past day so your record stays accurate, even when you catch up later.

Set each habit’s rhythm

Every day, chosen weekdays, or every few days. On its off days a habit steps out of the way instead of counting against you.

Focus

One thing at a time

A built-in Pomodoro timer keeps sessions intentional and linked to your work.

Configurable sessions

Focus and break durations are all adjustable, and the cycle laps until you stop it, with a sound at the end of every focus and break period.

Open Timer

No breaks and no time limit. It counts up until you press Stop, then banks the whole run against your day and your task.

Live Activity support

A Dynamic Island and Lock Screen countdown keeps your timer in view.

Task-linked focus

Link a session to a task and see exactly what you got done.

Session history

Review your focused time and per-task totals whenever you want.

Floating timer on Mac

A compact timer that stays above your other apps and full-screen spaces, with Pause, Skip, and Stop on hover.

Mantras

Begin each day with clarity

The daily mindset practice that makes it a discipline and not just a task list.

Library or your own words

Choose from a built-in library, or write your own with a label, title, and passage.

A daily practice

Practice resets each day and builds a streak that keeps you consistent.

Mindset that carries

Reinforce the values and mindset you want to bring into every day.

Apple Watch

Your day, without your phone

A full PathDay app on Apple Watch rather than a remote control for your phone. It opens on Today and carries Previous Days, Ongoing, Habits, and Mantras with it.

Opens on Today

The day’s progress across the top, then what is scheduled, each task with its time and its category.

Check off from your wrist

Complete a task or log a habit on the watch. Finished items stay struck through where you left them.

Habits with their progress

Rings and counts showing how far along you are and how much is left, not just whether you have started.

Mantras in full

Read the whole mantra on the watch instead of a truncated preview, and mark it read there.

Widgets

Your day, without opening the app

Today, Habits, and Mantras each get their own widget, on the iPhone and iPad Home Screen and on the Mac desktop.

The PathDay Today, Habits and Mantras widgets on the iPhone Home Screen

Three widgets, three sizes

Today, Habits, and Mantras, each available in small, medium, and large.

Mac desktop too

The same three widgets on your Mac desktop, reading the same synced data.

One tap to act

Check off a task, log a habit, or mark a mantra read straight from the widget without opening the app.

Page through the day

Arrows move through whatever does not fit, with the day’s progress along the bottom.

Reports & More

See your progress, make it yours

Understand what you actually completed, and shape the app around how you work.

Reports

Daily, Monthly, and Yearly bar charts for Tasks, Habits, and Mantras, with Category and Tag filters.

Search

Find tasks by name or notes, narrowed by status, recurring, Category, and Tag filters.

Achievements

Flag a task as an achievement and collect them by year and month.

Light and Dark mode

Choose System, Light, or Dark under Settings.

Make it yours

Set defaults for new tasks, choose card styles, and configure your bottom-bar tabs.

Offline and iCloud sync

Works offline, then syncs through your own iCloud across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

Completely free. Private by design.

Every feature included. Synced through your own iCloud, and your data is never sold or shared.
