“I built this app
to escape the
loop I was in.
Then realized
I wasn't alone.”

Our Story
I'm not a developer by training. I'm someone who spent too many evenings watching YouTube and scrolling Instagram instead of doing the things I actually wanted to do.
I tried every app blocker, every habit tracker. Nothing worked. Not because I was weak — but because every app was built around restriction, not reward.
So I built Dayli for myself. A simple rule: earn access before you spend it. When I saw it working — exercise streaks, books finished, less guilt — I knew others felt the same way.
Dayli started as a personal fix. Now it's a mission: help people reclaim their attention, one goal at a time.
