Create your perfect space to focus on your daily tasks

I built daily.place – a small browser app to focus, plan, and breathe 🌿

Hey everyone 👋
I’m Agustín, a developer from Argentina. I created a side project called daily.place
— a simple, browser-based workspace where you can focus, organize your day, and maybe relax a bit too.

It’s free, works right in your browser, and doesn’t ask you to sign up or create an account.

🧠 The idea

I was constantly opening 3 or 4 different tabs:

  • one for a Pomodoro timer,
  • another for to-do lists,
  • another for background sounds,
  • and somehow I’d still end up checking Twitter 🙃

So I thought — what if I could put all those small things in one clean page? Nothing fancy, just a quiet place to focus. That’s how daily.place started.

⚙️ What it does

Here’s what’s inside:

  • 🕐 Pomodoro timer with short & long breaks (customizable).
  • ✅ To-do list — super simple, all stored locally.
  • 🎧 Ambient sound mixer — you can blend rain, café, waves, white noise, etc.
  • ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts for quick actions.
  • 🌙 Dark mode for night sessions.

Everything is saved locally in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no tracking. You just open it and start.

💡 Why I built it

Honestly, I built it for myself first. I wanted a place that felt calm, like sitting down with a coffee and saying “okay, let’s do this.”

I didn’t want another app full of analytics, logins, and subscriptions. I just wanted something that loads fast and stays out of my way.

Now it’s become my go-to tab whenever I start working.

🚀 Try it out

Go to daily.place

Pick a “place name” (like Work, Study, FocusZone — whatever you want).
That name saves your layout and settings locally.

Then just… start working. Add tasks, set the timer, mix a few sounds.

🧭 What’s next

I’m planning to add:

  1. cloud sync so you can use it on multiple devices,
  2. more ambient sounds,
  3. maybe some small customization for themes and layouts.

But I’m keeping it simple — that’s kind of the point.

💬 Final thoughts

I know it’s not the next Notion or anything like that — and that’s okay. I just wanted a small place that helps me stay focused without noise.

If that sounds useful to you too, I’d love you to try it: daily.place

And if you have feedback or find bugs, you can reach me from the site — I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading ❤️
— Agustín

Very cool, bookmarking as I have the same flow of lofi, lists and have wanted a decent pomodoro because I really struggle looking away from my screen often and long enough.
