Dayward Isn’t Just for You — It’s for Your Whole Family
Productivity apps are almost always designed for one person. One inbox, one task list, one daily page. Even apps that support teams treat “family” as an afterthought — or not at all.
Dayward takes a different view. Every Pro subscription includes family sharing for up to six people, at no additional charge. It’s not a separate plan or an add-on. It’s just part of what Pro is.
Here’s what that actually means.
What Family Sharing Includes
When you upgrade to Pro, you can create a family group, give it a name, and invite up to five other people with a shareable link. Each person signs in with Google, picks their relationship (spouse, parent, or child), and joins. That’s the whole setup.
From there, the family features are organized around three things: shared pages, task assignments, and a family dashboard.
Shared Pages: Your Family’s Shared Knowledge
Every Dayward user has their own wiki pages — personal reference pages linked from daily entries with [[brackets]]. Family sharing extends this: you can share any of your pages with the family.
When you share a page, you choose how: clone (keep your original and create a family copy) or move (transfer it to the family entirely). And you set the permission: everyone can edit, or view only.
Shared pages show a gold FAMILY badge in the header so there’s no confusion about what’s personal and what’s shared. On wide screens, clicking a family page opens it in a side-by-side pane alongside your daily notes — handy for referencing a shared grocery list or project page while you’re planning your day.
What can you put in family pages? Anything you’d want shared:
- A weekly grocery list the whole household can edit
- A home project page with notes, decisions, and links
- A family schedule or trip itinerary
- House rules or chore expectations for kids
- A shared reading list or watchlist
Real-time collaborative editing means two people can update the same page simultaneously — conflicts are merged automatically.
Family Tasks: Send Work to Each Other
The family tasks feature is where coordination becomes active. Any family member can send a task to any other member — it’s not a top-down parent-to-child system, it flows both ways.
When you send someone a task, it shows up in two places for them: the Family Tasks tab in the family dashboard, and automatically in their Next section on that day’s page. The task appears as a special block — they can check it off, add notes beneath it, reorder it within the section, or dismiss it. What they can’t do is edit the text (it’s the task you sent them, not a free-form note).
From your side, you see a From you section grouped by recipient. You can see whether each task is pending, done, or dismissed, and revoke any task you haven’t had acted on yet. When someone completes a task you sent, your copy updates in real time — no need to ask “did you do that thing?”
This is genuinely useful for the everyday logistics of a household. Sending a “pick up dry cleaning” task to a spouse, assigning a “finish homework before dinner” task to a child, or asking a family member to follow up on something — all of it flows through the same interface, and the recipient sees it right alongside their own tasks for the day.
The Family Dashboard
The family dashboard is a dedicated view in the sidebar that shows the whole picture at once. Two tabs:
Members shows everyone in the family as cards — their avatar, name, relationship, and live stats: how many days they’ve been active, their current streak, how many pages they’ve created, and when they were last in the app. It’s less about surveillance and more about a shared sense of how everyone’s doing. (And yes, it’s quietly motivating when your streak is lower than your spouse’s.)
Family Tasks (the default tab) is where you compose and review task assignments. Send new tasks, see pending items, check what’s been completed, and revoke anything that’s changed.
The dashboard also handles the administrative side: renaming the family, managing the invite link, removing members, and — if the family is no longer needed — deleting the group.
What Stays Private
It’s worth being explicit about this: daily pages are private. Family members cannot see each other’s daily entries — what you’re working on, your personal tasks, your notes. The family layer is opt-in. You share pages deliberately. You send tasks deliberately. Nothing bleeds through automatically.
This matters. The value of a daily outliner is that it’s yours — a place to think and plan without an audience. Family sharing is a layer on top of that, not a window into it.
AI Credits Are Pooled
One more thing: Dayward Pro’s AI features (Plan My Day, Do Now, Recap My Day, Extract) run on a shared credit pool of 50 credits per month across the family. Each AI action costs one credit. For most families, 50 credits a month is more than enough — a daily Plan My Day for one person is 30 credits a month, leaving 20 for everyone else. And the credits reset on the first of each month.
One Subscription, Up to Six People
The math is straightforward. Dayward Pro is $39.99/year — that’s $3.33/month. For a family of four, that’s under $1/person/month for daily planning, shared pages, task coordination, and AI features. There’s no family plan pricing to figure out, no per-seat billing, no upgrade prompt when you add a member.
If your household runs on a mix of physical notebooks, group texts, and shared Google Docs — a layer of intentional coordination inside the same tool you’re already using for your own daily work might be worth trying.
