Aida Daily Planner

Summary

Aida is a native iPhone daily planner that combines actions (tasks), calendar events, and time blocks into a single unified timeline. No app-switching—see your entire day at a glance.

What is Aida Daily Planner?

Aida is built with SwiftUI and offers two complementary views. Planner Mode displays your day as a chronological timeline with actions, events, and time blocks interleaved by time. Project Mode organizes actions using a GTD-inspired system with Inbox, Anytime, and Someday smart lists plus custom color-coded projects. All data is stored locally in an encrypted SQLite database. Optional iCloud sync via Apple CloudKit keeps devices in sync while Apple handles encryption. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers.
