Launch price — Pro license $39 (regularly $59) through December 31, 2026

Start free. Pay once for Pro.

Daytactic is free to use, and your first 14 days include every Pro feature. When you want everything for good, the Pro license is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no renewal fees, and every 1.x update included. If there's ever a 2.0, owners get it at a discount.

What "updates included" actually looks like

4 releases so far. The latest, 1.3.0, shipped October 2026 with 13 changes: custom record types, and search that reads everything. Every release is listed publicly, dated, so you can judge the pace for yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan has no time limit: tasks, notes, journal, and calendar, plus up to 3 active projects, 25 contacts, and 3 meeting recordings a month with local transcripts. Your first 14 days include every Pro feature, so you can see everything before deciding. No credit card.
What happens after the first 14 days?
The app keeps working on the free plan, and nothing is deleted. Pro-only areas — like Goals, Pipeline, and AI meeting summaries — stay visible but become read-only. Buy a Pro license any time and they unlock instantly with the same key; there's nothing to reinstall.
Is this a subscription?
No. The Pro license is a one-time purchase ($39) and you own it. Every 1.x update is included, with no renewal fee.
Do I have to pay for updates?
No. Every 1.x release — new features, fixes, and macOS compatibility patches — is included with your license. If a 2.0 ever ships as a paid upgrade, existing owners get it at a discount, and the version you own keeps working either way.
Can I install on multiple Macs?
A Pro license covers 2 of your Macs — say, a work laptop and a home Mac. Each Mac keeps its own local data. Replacing a Mac? Deactivate the old one in Settings → License and activate the new one. Buying for several people? Email support@daytactic.com about volume pricing.
Is my data private?
Yes, fully. Your database lives on your Mac. Meeting transcription happens locally via Whisper — audio never leaves your machine. The only network calls are optional Claude/OpenAI requests for action-item extraction (you control the key, you can turn it off) and license validation.
Does it work without internet?
Everything except optional AI features (action-item extraction, and any assistant you connect to the built-in MCP server) works fully offline. Recording, transcription, calendar, CRM, notes — all local. The MCP server itself is a local binary and sends nothing anywhere; only the client you connect it to talks to a network.
Mac App Store availability?
Not currently. Direct download only — it lets us ship faster, sandbox less aggressively, and offer a real one-time license. We may add MAS later for discoverability.
What if I want a refund?
Pro licenses have a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions. Email support@daytactic.com and you're refunded.
Does it work with my existing calendar?
Yes — native EventKit, two-way sync, per-calendar rules. Apple Calendar, Google, Exchange, anything macOS Calendar already connects to.
Why a free plan and a one-time license instead of a subscription?
A real Mac app made by one developer needs to be funded by the people using it, not by your data. The free plan lets you find out whether it fits how you work; if it does, you pay once for Pro, with updates included. It's the most honest model we could find.
Will there be a Windows or iOS version?
Not in the foreseeable future. Mac-only, and that's the point — every interaction is tuned for macOS.
Wasn't this called Life Manager Pro?
Yes. Daytactic was called Life Manager Pro until October 2026. It's the same app: your license key, your data, and your updates carry over, and there's nothing to reinstall.

Start free. Upgrade when it earns it.

Your first 14 days include every Pro feature — no credit card. After that, keep using it free for as long as you like, or unlock everything for good with a $39 one-time Pro license for 2 Macs (launch price through December 31, 2026).
