Comprehensive Features

Built for intentional days

Explore how DayBuddy seamlessly connects planning, phone awareness, and compassionate companion intervention.

📅

Daily Planning & Timetable

Plan your day with an intuitive, friendly timetable. Build blocks for creative projects, study, meetings, or offline hobbies without complex configuration.

✓ Easy drag & drop scheduling • Flexible blocks

📱

Screen-Time Awareness

Understand how you're actually spending time on your phone. Instead of vague totals, see exactly where digital attention drifted relative to your plan.

✓ Context-aware metrics • Intentional perspective

🌱

Plan-Aware Buddy

Your Buddy understands what you intended to be doing right now. When you open an app that conflicts with your active block, your Buddy gently intervenes.

✓ Contextual intelligence • Friendly reminders

👋

Gentle Interventions

Short, friendly notifications and animations replace aggressive blocking screens, scary timers, or humiliating lockouts.

✓ Peeking & pop-up styles • Zero punishment

⏱️

App Usage Awareness

Understand continuous usage streaks, daily totals, and repeated checking patterns where Android capabilities are enabled.

✓ Continuous session detection • Rapid check patterns

🎯

Day Alignment Reflection

See how closely your lived actions reflected your planned schedule. Day Alignment helps you reflect calmly without guilt or self-criticism.

🎨

Buddy Personalization

DayBuddy supports different companion characters and presentation styles as the product evolves — including Bookworm, Grandpa, and Detective.

✓ Manifest-driven animation • Expressive reactions

🛡️

Privacy First Architecture

Personal planning and usage information is handled primarily on your device. We do not store your browsing or app habits in the cloud.

✓ On-device computation • Data-minimization
