DayGaps for Mac

Version 1.1 · 11.2 MB

Download for Mac

A signed, notarized direct download. On first launch macOS asks once to confirm an app downloaded from the internet: click Open. If it is ever refused, right-click the app and choose Open.

This is a test build of version 1.1: the format is stable and DayGaps runs the author’s actual daily plans. It syncs through your private iCloud zone, so signing into the same iCloud account on your other devices is the whole setup.

The iPhone and iPad beta

Once you are invited, install the TestFlight app from the App Store, sign in with the Apple ID you gave us, and tap Install next to DayGaps. The phone signs into your iCloud automatically and your data syncs from the Mac in the background, with no folder to pick.

What’s in this build

Version 1.1. A visual refresh and a parity release. The Mac moves to a light look with Liquid Glass and page actions in the title bar. The iPhone and iPad become full peers of the Mac. A new Plan page lays out the week, and the focus card holds the gap you are in. The full list is on the changelog; the short version:

• Focus. The now island at the bottom of every page shows the current gap and the time left. Tap it, or press ⌘F on the Mac, for the focus card: the gap’s tasks, a pie of what is done, and the time remaining.
• Plan (formerly This Week). The days of the week side by side with their gaps. Drag tasks onto a day or into a gap; drag them back to the To plan column to unplan them. An overview counts deadlines, waiting tasks and open time.
• iPhone and iPad as peers. Project, area, Deadlines and Plan pages are shared with the Mac. Swipe from the left to schedule, from the right to select.
• Safer sync. Edits made on two devices before they sync merge field by field.
• A new app icon.

This is beta software. The format is stable, but TestFlight and a direct download are the right venues for it until external review is done.

At launch

DayGaps will be a one-time purchase on the App Store. All updates through the 1.x series are included, and there is no subscription. The launch opens at a reduced introductory price.

Beta testers will be the first to know; everyone else can watch this page or the changelog.

Known issues

Known in the 1.1 test builds and being worked on:

• A shared project can lose its shared mark after the app restarts, and Stop Sharing on iPhone has no effect yet.
• Refresh from iCloud in Settings has sometimes needed more than one attempt.
• On the iPad, areas in the sidebar do not yet expand to show their projects.

What we’d love feedback on

• Does the focus card hold what you need while you work through a gap, and nothing more?
• Does Plan make the week easier to lay out than scheduling task by task?
• Anywhere the chrome feels too loud at rest?
• Anywhere a feature feels like more work than it saves?
• Sync timing across devices: does an edit on the Mac surface fast enough on the iPhone, and vice versa?
• Anywhere a Mac idiom leaked into the iPhone, or the iPhone idiom leaked back to the Mac?
