On your phone, offline, and the API

#On your phone

Daykite runs in your phone's browser today, with a layout made for small screens:

• A tab bar along the bottom — Today, Calendar, Projects, Tasks and More.
• The round + button creates an event, focus block, reminder or task.
• More holds Routines, Bookings, Integrations, Automations, Help and Settings.
• 3 days and Agenda views are the most comfortable on a narrow screen.

Add it to your home screen to open it like an app:

• iPhone (Safari): Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Android (Chrome): ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen or Install app.

iPhone and Android apps are being built on the same public API.

#Offline

On a flaky train connection, Daykite keeps working as far as it can:

• Reading: calendar views you've recently opened are kept, so this week is still there without a connection.
• Creating events: a new event saved while you're offline is queued and sent the moment you're back online.
• Everything else — editing, bookings, tasks — needs a connection, and tells you if it couldn't save.

#The API

Everything the app does goes through a public API, so you can build on Daykite too.

• Personal scripts and automation tools use an API key with just the scopes they need — see API keys, webhooks and OAuth apps.
• Hearing about changes — webhooks send a signed request the moment something happens.
• Apps for other people use OAuth, so nobody hands over a key.
• Mobile-friendly: one call returns everything needed to start, and another returns only what changed since last time.
