Your day at a glance. Your world in tiles.

DayFrame is a desktop-first app for Windows that brings your email, calendar, contacts, and more together in one place — with a friendly layout and a Windows Phone-inspired live tile navigation rail for switching between modules. Mac support is planned.

One shell. Every part of your day.

Instead of juggling separate apps, DayFrame gives every part of your personal world a home behind a single shell. A persistent tile rail on the left keeps your modules one tap away — bold, square, and yours to color — while the main pane shows whatever you're focused on right now.

Pinning goes deeper than modules, too. A single RSS feed, a board, a world clock — pin any of them straight to the rail and it becomes its own live tile.

We want you to feel at home in DayFrame, so even if you don't like the colors or fonts in the application, they're all customizable. Tiles can be any color or size that you'd like.

Under the hood, each module is an independently built, independently tested piece that plugs into a shared contract layer. That's what lets DayFrame grow — new modules arrive over time without disturbing the ones you already rely on.

Email, Calendar & Contacts

These three share one provider sign-in — Google today, with Microsoft 365 sign-in in progress.

GitHub

Pick repositories from a list instead of typing owner/name, and set how often each one polls. An issue and PR feed keeps comments in sync and supports filters, alongside a pane of monitored repositories and saved views — all within GitHub's rate limits.

RSS

A three-pane reader where feeds show their own channel logo. Pin any feed to the rail as its own tile, carrying that logo with it. Remote content is sandboxed, and images stay blocked until you allow them.

Time

World-clock tiles for the places you care about. Pin any clock to the rail, and copy a time in several formats when you need to share it.

Weather, Market News & Bluesky

Each has its own module view for a closer look, plus a matching board widget for your dashboards.

Boards: your own dashboards

Boards are customizable dashboards built from widgets drawn out of your modules — arrange the pieces of your day exactly how you want to see them.

Widgets available today: Calendar day view, Calendar agenda, Weather conditions, Bluesky recent posts, Market News watchlist, RSS, and Email folder.

  • A distinct edit mode for laying widgets out
  • Undo/redo, plus a whole-board reset
  • Renameable widgets
  • Per-board refresh cadence and density
  • Full keyboard support
  • Pin any board to the tile rail as its own tile

Make it feel like yours

Feeling at home in DayFrame is a first-class goal, not an afterthought. Personalization goes well beyond swapping a color.

Eight board style presets ship today, ready to apply in one click: Midnight, Paper, Neon Tokyo, Atari 2600, Dragon, Fairy, Mermaid, and Hot Dog Stand.

  • Your own wallpaper on a board
  • Texture backgrounds for boards and widget headers
  • Board-wide and per-widget typography
  • Widget header colors with automatically derived, readable foregrounds
  • Built-in contrast checking
  • Customizable tile chrome
  • A library of tile textures, and any tile color you like

Accessibility — contrast and legibility — is preserved across every theme.

Coming soon

DayFrame is in private preview, on the 0.4 preview series, with ten modules working today. There's no public build to install just yet, but the private preview is real, running software — not a mockup.
