Daybook review
An inexpensive planner for individual teachers who need core scheduling and diary tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Daybook is a digital lesson planner and teacher diary for primary and secondary school teachers. It turns a timetable into daily and weekly planning views, with space for lesson content, notes, reminders, tasks, attachments, and supporting files. Teachers can save lesson templates, reuse planning for future weeks or classes, and print or export plans. The product is aimed at individual teachers who want a focused planning workspace rather than a broader collaborative teaching platform.
Pricing is straightforward: the Daybook plan costs $1.99 per month with monthly billing and includes the full timetable builder, auto-populated diary, lesson planning and notes, daily and weekly views, reusable lesson templates, and attachments and file support. A 14-day trial provides time to review the workflow before continuing with the paid plan. There is no free plan, so the product is best suited to teachers comfortable with a low recurring cost for core planning features.
Daybook’s platform fit is strongest for teachers working on the web or with an iPhone or iPad. Offline-friendly planning can help when connections are unreliable, while printable and exportable plans support work outside the app. Android is in public beta, and the product does not provide verified standards, collaboration, or integrations. Choose Daybook for individual timetable-based planning, reusable lesson content, and a compact teacher diary. Schools needing shared planning, connected services, standards alignment, or established Android access should consider an alternative.
