# Getting Started ### What Is Daylite? Daylite is a CRM and productivity app built exclusively for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It's where you manage your contacts, activities, commitments, and history — all in one place, all working together. If you're here, you're probably tired of stitching together a patchwork of apps to run your business. You've outgrown the spreadsheets, the sticky notes, the inbox-as-filing-system. Daylite pulls it all together — structured enough to stay organized, flexible enough to match how you work. *** ### Built for Apple. Built for You. Daylite is made exclusively for Mac, iPhone, and iPad — so it feels like it belongs there. It respects the design principles you already love, syncs seamlessly across your devices, and works hand-in-hand with Apple Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. No web app slowness. No cross-platform compromises. Just a native experience that gets out of your way and lets you work. ### The Big Idea: Everything Is Linked Together. In most apps, your contacts live in one place, your emails in another, your tasks somewhere else. When you need the full picture — *What did I promise this client? Who's working on this? What emails have we sent?* — you're hunting across apps and inboxes. Daylite connects all of it. Link an Email to a Contact. Link a Task to an Opportunity. Link a Project to a Company. When you open any record, you see everything related to it — every conversation, every task, every appointment — in one view. {% embed url="" %} That's what makes Daylite different. And that's what this guide will help you set up, step by step. ### **What You'll Learn in This Guide** In about 30 minutes, you'll build a real, working Daylite setup — not just read about features. You'll move through three short phases, and each step builds on the last: * Get started — add your first Contact and Task, connect your email and calendar * Put it to work — track sales with Opportunities and manage work with Projects * Make it yours — organize with Categories, Keywords, and Smart Lists, then customize Daylite to fit how you work By the end, you'll have a system that keeps your business organized and nothing falling through the cracks. {% hint style="warning" icon="brightness" %} **We’re glad you’re here.** Thousands of small businesses succeed with Daylite.
