Daylite is an all-in-one CRM and productivity app built exclusively for Apple devices. It's made for service-based businesses — people who sell their time and expertise — and it brings your client management, sales, projects, email, calendar, tasks, and notes together in one Apple-native app. If you want one place where everything about a client lives — who they are, the deal you're working, the project you're delivering, the emails you've traded, and what you need to do next — that's Daylite. Instead of juggling separate tools and chasing scattered details, you get one connected system. ## Daylite is a CRM and a Productivity App in One Many CRMs focus primarily on managing contacts and sales. Daylite connects that CRM data directly to the projects and day-to-day work those relationships generate. Everything lives in one database, where related people, companies, opportunities, projects, emails, appointments, tasks, and notes can be linked together. * **Contacts and Companies** — the people and organizations you work with, and your full history with each * **Opportunities** — your sales deals, tracked visually through pipelines on the Opportunities Board * **Projects** — the work you deliver, with linked tasks, timelines, and communication history * **Calendar, Tasks, and Notes** — the daily tools you use to plan, follow through, and record what matters * **Email** — your inbox connected directly to your CRM, sales, and projects. Because sales, delivery, and day-to-day activity share one system, you don't have to manage the client in one tool and the work for that client in another. ## Daylite is a Native Apple App Backed by the Cloud Daylite is delivered as a subscription. Your data lives in **Daylite Cloud**, and native apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad sync to it. Why that matters: * **Native apps are faster.** feel like they belong on Apple hardware, rather than a website in a browser tab. * **They keep working offline.** You can work through your opportunities, add notes, and check your calendar with no connection — then everything syncs automatically the moment you're back online. * **The cloud handles the heavy lifting.** Hosting, syncing across your devices and team, and backups — so there's no server for you to run. Your subscription covers hosting, sync, backups, and ongoing updates. ## Daylite Connects to Other Tools Daylite isn't a walled garden. It connects out to the rest of your stack in a few ways: * **Native integrations** Apple Contacts, and Apple Calendar * **Automation platforms** such as Zapier and Make, for no-code workflows between Daylite and thousands of other services * **A REST API** for developers who want to build directly against Daylite --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
