Change priority without breaking focus
Hover an issue, tap P, and keep moving. The same quick picker handles status changes with S.
Your whole day, one glance away.
Dayline lives in your menu bar and keeps your calendar, Linear issues, and notes in one quiet little place — so you always know what's next.

Dayline reads between the lines
01
Start your day knowing what’s next
Up Next shows your remaining timed events for today, straight from Google Calendar. Tomorrow’s plan is one click away when you want a head start.
02
Your Linear issues, minus the tab
Active issues assigned to you, sorted the way you like. Hover for hotkeys — copy the URL, change status, bump priority — or swipe a row to cancel it. New issue? One click.
03
Notes that never leave your Mac
Quick local notes, right next to your day. The first line becomes the title, more notes stay one click away, and everything is stored only on this Mac.
Built for how you actually work
Menu-bar only, on purpose
No dock icon, no windows vying for attention. One click on the menu bar and your day unfolds; click away and it’s gone.
Always quietly fresh
Dayline refreshes your calendar, issues, and notes in the background on a cadence you choose.
Keyboard first
Hover an issue and press C to copy its URL, S for status, P for priority. Remap them to whatever your fingers prefer.
Swipe to act
A horizontal swipe across an issue reveals Cancel; across a note, Delete. No confirmation dialogs, no fuss.
Launch at login
Flip one switch and Dayline is just there every morning, like it should be.
Sorted your way
Order Linear issues by what matters to you, and notes by updated, created, or title. Your day, your order.
Light enough to forget
Native SwiftUI keeps Dayline lightweight and fast, using next to no system resources while it waits in your menu bar.
Your next event, always visible
The next calendar event and its countdown appear directly in the menu bar, so you know what’s coming without opening a thing.
Small app. Surprisingly capable.
Dayline keeps the common actions close without turning your menu bar into another dashboard to manage.
Create the issue while it is fresh
Capture the title, owner, due date, description, and the advanced details without opening a browser tab.
Tune it once, then forget it
Choose refresh timing, meeting-title behavior, shortcuts, sorting, and launch at login from one small settings window.
Local first, with you in control
Dayline has no backend and no account system. Your Mac talks straight to Google and Linear over HTTPS, tokens live in the Keychain, and notes never leave your disk. Disconnect either account from Settings at any time — the token is revoked and deleted.
