✅ Who Can Use My Day?

My Day is available to all users, across all plans:

  • ✅ Free Plan

  • ✅ Premium Plan

  • ✅ Family Plan (shared + personal tasks)

  • ✅ Workspace Plan (shared + personal tasks)

Available on:

  • Web

  • Desktop (Mac & Windows)

  • Android & iOS mobile apps


🧠 What Is My Day and How Does It Work?

My Day gives you a blank slate every morning, so you can focus only on the tasks that matter most right now.

Each morning, your view resets — clearing out yesterday’s tasks so you’re not overwhelmed by backlog. You can easily add tasks into My Day using:

  • Smart Suggestions

  • Manual search

  • Calendar events

  • Personal lists

  • Assigned board tasks (Family & Workspace)

💡 My Day is a private view. No one else sees what you plan for your day — even if the task is part of a shared board.


⭐ Key Features of My Day

Here’s what makes My Day one of the most powerful planning tools inside Any.do:

🔍 Smart Suggestions & External Sources

Let Any.do suggest the most relevant tasks for your day - from both Any.do and other platforms.

Smart Suggestions uses AI to prioritize what matters most based on urgency, due dates, and relevance. You can accept or dismiss suggestions with a single tap.

But that’s not all - if you use other productivity tools, External Suggestions lets you bring tasks from:

  • ✅ Trello

  • ✅ Asana

  • ✅ ClickUp

  • ✅ Monday.com

  • ✅ Todoist

These suggestions will appear in your My Day feed alongside your Any.do tasks, helping you stay focused — even if you use multiple systems.

Real life example:

You’re a freelancer juggling multiple platforms. You’ve got a Trello board for client A, a ClickUp workspace for client B, and project tasks in your Any.do Workspace.

Each morning, My Day will show you key items across all three, so nothing ever falls through the cracks.


⚙️ My Day Preferences

Need more control over your day?

Customize your My Day view to match your personal workflow:

  • Set your daily reset time

  • Choose which calendar events appear (Web/Desktop only)

  • Enable external suggestions

  • Reset your Smart Suggestion filters anytime

💡 My Day Preferences help you tailor your planning to your actual habits — morning or evening, busy or calm.


📌 Pinned Tasks

Want to carry a task over to tomorrow? Just pin it.

  • Pinned tasks stay visible until you complete or unpin them

  • Great for ongoing priorities or tasks that don’t get done in one sitting

Use case:

You’re working on a long-form blog post or coding feature - pin it to carry it forward day after day until it’s done.


📋 Board Task Support

If you’re on Family or Workspace, My Day also supports collaborative tasks:

  • Only assigned tasks will show up in Smart Suggestions

  • You can also manually add any board task

  • Tasks still live in your board, but you get private daily visibility


🎯 Focus Mode Integration

Once you’ve filled your My Day view, you can activate Focus Mode to stay on task (Premium, Family, Workspace).

  • Start a countdown timer

  • Grow a digital tree as you stay focused

  • Visualize productivity throughout the day

💡 This is great for deep work blocks or distraction-free sessions.


📅 Calendar Integration (Optional)

Connect your Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendar to view events alongside tasks.

  • View meetings and tasks in one place

  • Schedule around your real-time availability

  • Reprioritize on the fly


🔁 My Day + Other Views

My Day is most effective when used together with:

  • 7 Days View – See your week ahead and add relevant tasks to My Day

  • All Tasks View – Review your entire workload and add relevant tasks to My Day

  • Calendar View – Combine events with to-dos and add relevant tasks to My Day

  • Board/List Views - Review individual project and add relevant tasks to My Day

Important Note: Only assigned tasks from boards will appear in My Day, 7 Days, or All Tasks.

Use case example:

You’re in a Workspace and assigned 3 sprint tasks for today.

In My Day, add only the ones you’re responsible for - keeping your view clear and focused.

🙋 FAQs

🗑️ Does My Day delete my tasks?

No! Tasks are never deleted. My Day resets visually - your tasks remain in their original list or board.

👥 Can I see board tasks in My Day?

Yes, but only if they’re assigned to you (Family and Workspace only). Unassigned tasks won’t appear.

📌 Can I carry tasks over to tomorrow?

Yes - just pin the task, and it will stay in your My Day until completed or unpinned.

📴 Can I use My Day offline?

Yes, My Day works offline on mobile if the screen was opened prior to going offline. Your updates will sync once you’re back online. However, for optimal performance we highly recommend against working offline as data might be lost if the app does not get synced for a long while.

🧐 Why don’t all my “Today” tasks show up in My Day?

Even if a task is due today and appears in your All Tasks, 7 Days, or Calendar views, it will not automatically appear in your My Day screen.

My Day is an intentional space. It’s meant to include only the tasks you’ve actively selected to focus on today, either by:

  • Accepting a Smart Suggestion

  • Manually adding a task

  • Pinning a task

This gives you full control over your daily workload, so you don’t feel overwhelmed by every task due today. Think of My Day as your handpicked shortlist - not an automatic feed.
