Hey HN, I built DayZen after years of lying to my calendar. I'd cram 10 hours of tasks into 6-hour days, wonder why I never finished anything, then feel terrible about it. The core idea: Show your day as a 24-hour radial clock. Tasks become colored arcs around the circle. When the circle fills up, it's full. No more pretending. How it works:

Drag tasks onto the clock face and resize them with your finger Overlapping tasks glow red immediately (no more finding conflicts at 11 PM) Two-way calendar sync keeps everything in one place Widgets show your current task and what's next

What makes it different: Most planners ask "what should I do?" DayZen asks "what actually fits?" It's not about motivation, it's about physics. You can't fit 10 pounds into a 5-pound bag. I originally made this for my ADHD brain, which has zero time awareness. Turns out the visual approach helps anyone who thinks spatially or chronically overschedulules. Tech stack: Native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), local-first with optional iCloud sync, zero tracking or accounts required. Pricing: Free tier with 10 tasks to try it out. Premium is $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $24.99 lifetime (early supporter pricing). The app is live on the App Store now. I'd love your feedback—especially from fellow overcommitters or anyone who's tried to build time awareness into their workflow. Happy to answer questions about the approach, technical choices, or why I thought a radial interface would work when every other planner uses lists.
