My Day: today, by hand
Only what you chose for today, in the order you arranged it. Use it each morning, and look at nothing else until it's done.
My Day
A daily planner in three parts: morning, afternoon, evening.
My Day is Freely's plan for today: a short list you choose, split into three calm parts. Nothing is placed until you drag it there, and whatever you don't finish moves to tomorrow, in the same part.
- Fresh every morning
- Carry-over you can undo
- Habits beside the plan

What is My Day?
My Day is the daily planner inside Freely, a free to-do list. Each morning it clears what you finished: you choose what today is for, place each task in the morning, the afternoon or the evening, and tick them off. Tasks you don't finish stay, in the part they were in, and the habits due today sit at the top.
Step by step
How to plan your day in Freely
A few taps in the morning, then one place to look all day.
-
Pick today's tasks
Swipe a task to the right from any list, tap the ☀️ on it, or type straight into My Day's own box: “call the plumber at 9” goes in with its time. On a laptop, right-click a task and choose Add to My Day.
-
Take a suggestion or two
At the bottom of My Day, Suggestions for My Day offers up to six tasks worth pulling in: overdue ones first, then the ones due soonest. It starts folded away, so it never crowds the plan.
-
Place each one
New tasks wait under Not placed yet. Drag each into Morning, Afternoon or Evening, or right-click it on a laptop and pick the part. It stays there until you move it.
-
Work through it
Tick tasks off as you go. The ring at the top fills, and when the last one is done Freely celebrates. Need to concentrate? Open a task and start its focus timer, 25 minutes unless you set another length.
-
Start fresh tomorrow
Each morning My Day lets go of what you finished. Anything unfinished comes along into today, in the same part, and a banner says how many: tap it to undo the carry-over.

Overdue first, then the soonest dates. One tap adds a task to My Day, unplaced.
Which screen when
My Day, Upcoming and the Calendar
They show the same tasks in three ways. My Day is the short list for today; the other two keep the long view.
Upcoming: everything dated
All your dated tasks in one line, nearest first. Anything late is pinned on top, one tap from Move to today, and tasks marked Date TBD wait at the very end without ever turning red.
Calendar: the month
The same tasks on a month. Drag a task, or a single step inside one, onto another day to move it, or add a task straight onto a day.
Small things
What keeps a day calm
- My Day keeps the order you arrange by hand: hold a task, then drag it up or down
- A task someone shared with you can go in your My Day too, and it never lands in the owner's
- The same My Day on your phone and your laptop, also without a connection
- A task deleted by mistake comes back with Undo, or from Recently deleted for 30 days
- Habits due today wait at the top, ticked with one tap

The next morning: yesterday's unfinished call is back, still in the evening.
Honest limits
What My Day doesn't do
- No hour-by-hour timeline. My Day has three parts, not a time grid. A task's time shows on its row, but it doesn't place the task for you.
- Today only. You can't fill tomorrow's My Day in advance. Give tasks a date instead: they wait in Upcoming and turn up in Suggestions on the day.
- Website reminders need Freely open. A reminder pops up on the website only while Freely is open in a tab. Phone notifications come with the apps, which are still being prepared.
Questions
Planning your day: questions
What happens to the tasks I don't finish today?
They move into the next day's My Day by themselves, in the part they were in. A banner says how many were carried; tap it to undo, and they leave My Day but stay in their lists.
Does a task's time put it in the right part of the day?
No. The time shows on the task's row, but nothing is placed until you drag it, so the plan stays the way you made it.
Is My Day the same on my phone and my laptop?
Yes. What is in My Day, and which part each task is in, syncs between your devices, and it works without a connection too.
Can I add a task someone shared with me?
Yes. A task from a list or a share you can see can go in your My Day. It is kept on your side, so it never appears in the owner's My Day.
