Daybox review
A focused daily planner for turning tasks into timed sequences.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Daybox organizes tasks into timed sequences and moves automatically from one task to the next. It is aimed at people who want structure for focused work, routines, study sessions or workouts, rather than a general-purpose project workspace. Tasks can have custom durations, and drag-and-drop ordering lets users arrange the sequence for the day. Color-coded categories provide another way to distinguish tasks. A free plan and web, iOS and Android availability make it accessible across browser and mobile workflows; account-based synchronization keeps tasks and timers in step across devices.
The standout feature is the timer-led workflow. Daybox can advance automatically between tasks, play audio completion notifications and allow duration changes while a session is running. Supported mobile platforms can show a live timer on the lock screen. These details make the app particularly suited to users who want the plan itself to guide their next action, including when switching devices. It is less suited to people whose planning depends on calendar-centered coordination or broad integrations, which are not established here.
Daybox uses a freemium model: its website describes the product as free to use, and the named paid options are Daybox Pro Monthly, Daybox Pro Annual and Daybox Pro Lifetime. The product details do not provide prices for those plans, so the practical distinction is simply that Pro options are available alongside the free offering. Email is the stated support channel. Choose Daybox if a timed task sequence and automatic progression are central to your day; consider another planner if you need verified calendar sync, integrations or a wider coordination feature set.
