ThisDay, a daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
A daily planner where tasks, events, notes, voice memos, photos, habits and places share one timeline, and any of them can remind you. My own product, not client work. I designed, built and shipped the app, and the site that carries it.

The brief
ThisDay is my own product, not client work. Nobody briefed it. I built it for myself first. It is the app I always wished I had.
The idea is a day, held in one place. Tasks, events, notes, voice memos, photos, habits and places sit on one timeline, and any of them can carry a reminder.
The app
A daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. I designed it in Figma and built it in SwiftUI.
Navigation is one floating bar, the Day Bar: a day stepper, a menu and a plus for capture.
- No account and no server. Data stays on the device and syncs through the owner's iCloud.
- Habits can tick themselves from Apple Health.
- A category can be shared with a link.
- Twelve languages.
Version 1.0 shipped on 24 August 2026. Version 2.0 followed on 23 September, rebuilt on Liquid Glass, with the Apple Watch app and the iPad layout in the same release.
The site
this-day.app is navigated with the same bar. The Day Bar sits at the bottom of every page, names the section on screen, steps to the next one and opens into a grid of all of them.
The app on the page is built, not pictured. The phone in the hero is markup, so its sections fold when clicked. The glass bar in the 2.0 section can be dragged over the list under it. One card switches between iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
The Mac shortcuts get a drawn keyboard. Scrolling the list presses each shortcut on it. Every command is pulled from the Mac app, which is on the way.
Around it:
- The site in the same twelve languages as the app.
- A changelog with every version.
- A phone layout that keeps the bar.
How it was made
Designed in Figma. The app is SwiftUI, with RevenueCat for the purchase. The site is Next.js. I designed, built and shipped it on my own.
