A brief and your Spark
A few lines about the day and one concrete action for one of your areas: five minutes, doable today. Not the right one? Swap it, or ask for an easier version of the same idea.
For iPhone and iPad · iOS 27
One bright thing a day.
Every morning DayBright writes a short brief and one small, concrete action for an area of life you care about. In the evening, a 20-second check-in turns the day into a Glow. All of it is written on your device with Apple Intelligence. No account, no server.
- Free, with DayBright+ for more
- Nothing leaves your phone
- Works without Apple Intelligence too
How a day goes
One spark, a check-in, a glow
Sparks rotate through the areas you keep active, one a day, so no area is forgotten and none takes over.
Say how you feel
Tap your energy, the minutes you have and where you are, and the spark is rewritten to fit. A spark with a timer runs as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
A 20-second check-in
Rate how bright the day was, add a line if you like, and read a short reflection written for that day. Your week ends with a review: a highlight and one suggestion.
Screens
Small on purpose
Four screens, a colour family for every area, and nothing to set up before the first spark.
Made on your iPhone
Private because there is nothing to leak
DayBright learns from your own history, on your own phone: when you finish sparks, which areas work for you, how long you like them. The App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”.
Read the privacy policyWritten on your device
Briefs, sparks, reflections and reviews come from Apple Intelligence running on your iPhone or iPad. Where it is not available, DayBright uses its built-in library.
No account, no server, no analytics
Your areas, sparks and check-ins live in a private database on your phone. Nothing is uploaded and there is nothing to sign up for.
Context you control
With DayBright+ and your permission, one line each from Calendar, Weather, Health, Reminders and Contacts shapes the spark: how busy the day is, rain or shine, a short night, a birthday coming up. Never raw titles, and all of it stays on the device.

Questions
Before you download
Does DayBright need Apple Intelligence?
For sparks written for your day, yes: a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with it turned on and a supported language. Without it, DayBright works the same way with its built-in library of sparks and tells you so.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad on iOS 27 or later. Apple Intelligence is available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, and on iPads with M1 or later.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. DayBright has no account, no server and no analytics. The one exception is Weather: if you turn it on, your approximate location goes to Apple's weather service to fetch the forecast, and DayBright does not keep it.
What is DayBright+?
A monthly or yearly subscription that adds personal context, the “fits now” nudge, writing to Health, unlimited and custom areas, and photo sparks. Three active areas, the daily spark, check-ins, Journey, widgets and Siri are free. Prices are shown in the App Store.
How do I cancel?
In your Apple Account settings (iOS Settings, your name, Subscriptions). Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep DayBright+ until the end of the period you paid for.
I used DayBright 1.x. What happens to my history?
Your areas and history carry over on the first launch of 2.0 and stay on your device. Earlier versions used OpenAI and Firebase Analytics; 2.0 uses neither.
