DayCast
Plan, capture, reflect, track
JC Mobile App Studio
DayCast keeps your whole day in one private place: a time-blocked planner, notes, journal, spending and net worth tracker, and a PDF toolkit, all encrypted on your device and wired to Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves your iPhone unless you choose to share it.
The Planner shows tasks and events on one time-blocked timeline, drag a task onto an hour to schedule it. Repeat anything, any way: every 2 weeks on Tuesday and Thursday, the last Friday of the month. Group work into projects, add locations to events, and type something like "Lunch with Sarah Friday at noon" to have it filled in. Notes holds rich text, tables, code blocks, and checklists in nested folders with tags, saved filters, photos, voice memos, and sketches, and version history saves every meaningful edit so an accidental overwrite is one tap from undone.
The Journal pairs mood-aware prompts with four AI reflection voices and optional location, weather, and Health context. On This Day, weekly summaries, and multiple journals are all here, and Year in Review shows your whole year, including which parts of your life track with your good days.
Spending shows what's safe to spend today after the bills still coming and the savings you're pacing toward, projects when your debts clear, and ranks every merchant by month-over-month trend. Budgets run on any cycle with rollover and alerts, Net Worth tracks live ticker quotes and monthly snapshots, and the Reports Hub turns it all into eleven shareable reports, including a year-end tax export. The PDF toolkit searches inside every PDF you import, including OCR for scanned pages, then lets you sign, highlight, annotate, and tag, with Apple Pencil support and saved signatures.
Every note, task, event, expense, and journal entry is encrypted on your device the moment you write it (AES-GCM), including your PDF search index and note history, with your key in your iCloud Keychain. All AI runs on Apple Intelligence on your iPhone or iPad and never leaves it. DayCast is local-first, with optional encrypted backups to your own private iCloud Drive folder so you can restore on a new device in seconds. No analytics, no trackers, no ads, no data sale.
The core planner, notes, and journal are free. Premium unlocks time blocking, Safe to Spend, the bill calendar and debt payoff planner, the merchant breakdown, budgets on any cycle, note version history and saved filters, full-text PDF search, Year in Review, unlimited AI, the full PDF toolkit, Wallet auto-import, Net Worth, the Reports Hub with tax exports, and unlimited projects, budgets, goals, and subscriptions, for $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
