If something is broken, it helps to include your iPhone model, your iOS version, and what you were tapping when it happened.

Answers

Why can't I edit a past day?

Because that's the point of the app. Past days are there to look back on, not to rewrite, so they open read-only. If work didn't get done yesterday, use the "from yesterday" section at the top of today's list to bring it forward.

How do I add something for tomorrow?

Pull down from the year grid to open settings and turn on For tomorrow, then pick a time. After that time each day, today's list shows a section for tomorrow. You can add and reorder tomorrow's tasks, but you can't complete them until tomorrow arrives.

Where is my data stored? Can I sync it?

Everything stays on your iPhone. There is no account, no server and no sync — which also means your lists don't appear on a second device.

Deleting the app deletes its data. If you're changing phones, restore the new one from an iPhone backup rather than installing Daily fresh.

My widget isn't updating

Widgets refresh on a schedule iOS controls, so a change can take a few minutes to appear. If it's stuck for longer: open Daily once, then remove the widget and add it again. Low Power Mode delays widget refreshes across all apps.

I'm not getting the daily reminder

Check Settings → Notifications → Daily on your iPhone and make sure Allow Notifications is on. Focus modes and Scheduled Summary can also hold the reminder back until later.

How do I set up the daily wallpaper?

Turn on Daily wallpaper in settings and tap View setup instructions. It walks you through a one-time Apple Shortcuts automation that refreshes your lock screen with the current year grid. It's the only part of Daily that needs setup, and skipping it costs you nothing else.

What happens to whiteboard bubbles over time?

They fade. An idea you never touch again gets quieter on its own — dragging or interacting with a bubble brings it back. Hold a bubble to turn it into a task for today, or double-tap to pop it.

Is Daily free? What's the tip jar?

Daily is free and always will be. There's no paid tier and nothing is locked. Settings → Support Daily has an optional tip if you want to chip in; it changes nothing about the app.

Tips go through Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Will there be an Android or web version?

No. Daily is built for iPhone, and the widgets, wallpaper and gestures are the reason it works the way it does.
