DayGLANCE is a privacy-first day planner app that delivers a beautiful at-a-glance visual overview of your daily schedule through intuitive drag-and-drop time-blocking on a responsive 24-hour timeline. It features a smart inbox for quick task capture, Pomodoro-style focus mode, habit and routine tracking, recurring tasks, and a hierarchy of goals and projects, all while running completely offline with no account required. Fully self-hostable via Docker and available as an installable progressive web app (or native Android/desktop versions), it offers optional end-to-end encrypted sync through WebDAV/Nextcloud or CalDAV, plus seamless integrations with tools like Obsidian. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install DayGLANCE on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 8

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:7191 Click Skip. Follow the instructions in the image below.
