Where are my tasks stored?
In a folder of markdown files you own. On the Mac it is
~/scheduler. You can open, edit, back up or version control
them yourself, and the app picks up external edits live.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Your fourteen-day trial belongs to you rather than to a
machine, so it starts when you sign in — with Apple or Google,
no password to invent. The account is also what syncs your Mac
and your phone. See the privacy page for
exactly what that stores.
What happens to my tasks if I stop paying?
Nothing happens to them. They are markdown files in your own
folder, and Daymetric does not touch, lock, move or encrypt
them when a trial or a subscription ends — not on expiry, not
on account deletion. The app keeps opening, keeps showing your
day and your log, and keeps exporting everything. What stops
is writing: adding, completing, editing and deferring, until
you subscribe again. If you never do, the folder still opens
in TextEdit with every server we run gone.
My Mac and my phone disagree
Both devices need to be signed in to the same account. If a file was
edited in two places before syncing, Daymetric merges both rather than
picking a winner, so nothing is lost.
The app shows a fault
It cannot read your files. Usually the folder moved, or macOS evicted
iCloud files to save space. Open Setup to see which folder it is
actually reading and whether it is local or in the cloud.
My agent cannot see my tasks
Daymetric registers its MCP server with Claude Code, Claude Desktop,
Cursor and Codex at launch. Restart your agent after installing so it
reconnects. Setup has a status board showing which agents are wired.
How do I delete my account?
Setup, then the account panel, then delete. It removes your account and
every synced file immediately. The files on your own devices stay where
they are.
"What changed" looks wrong
Daymetric keeps a local index of your folder so it can show what
changed and when. It is a cache, not your data. Quit Daymetric,
delete ~/Library/Application Support/Daymetric/vaults,
reopen — it rebuilds from your folder and nothing is lost.
