DailyBattery

Visualize your focus energy.

About

DailyBattery is a focused macOS utility for people who treat their time like a limited resource. It turns your abstract schedule into a tangible battery that quietly lives on your desktop.

Most productivity tools hide in a menu bar and hope you remember them. DailyBattery is built on a simple idea: visibility drives consistency. By keeping your focus in sight — without shouting for attention — it helps you spend your energy where it matters most.

Features

Visual Energy

A vertical, glass-inspired battery that sits elegantly on your desktop. Watch your “charge” deplete as you invest your energy into the work that matters.

Dynamic Time Blocks

Design your day with labeled, color-coded blocks — Work, Reset, Freelance, or whatever fits your rhythm. DailyBattery adapts to your routine, not the other way around.

Built-in Pomodoro

Attach focus cycles to any block with Snap (25/5), Steady (50/10), or Endure (90/30). Each segment can have its own pace of deep work and rest.

Intentional Peace of Mind

No accounts. No tracking. No cloud. Your schedule lives entirely on your Mac. It's structure without the surveillance.

Always present, never loud

DailyBattery floats above your windows at a gentle transparency — visible at a glance, quietly out of the way when you're immersed.

Power-User Shortcuts

Double-click the frame to instantly hide or show the battery. Keep control close, without digging through menus.

Smart Validation

If your time blocks overlap, a subtle “vibrate” animation lets you know. You get a clean, realistic schedule without fiddling.

Native & Fluid

Built with SwiftUI for modern macOS, with smooth spring animations and full dark-mode support. It feels like it belongs on your desktop.

Pricing

Pay what you want

You get the full experience from day one. After a few days, a gentle prompt appears so you can keep using it with a free license ($0) or contribute any amount to support its ongoing development — support is always optional.
