Daylite Reviews & Product Details

When your time is your product, you can’t afford to waste it. Daylite is the CRM and project management app built exclusively for the Apple ecosystem, specifically for consultants, fractional executives, freelancers, construction companies, and other service-based businesses that sell their expertise. Most CRMs are built for sales teams. Daylite is built for people who are the business: it combines contact management, sales pipelines, project management, calendars, tasks, and email into one connected system that runs natively on Mac, iPhone, and iPad- not a web app wrapped in a browser tab. Why Apple-native matters: Daylite integrates directly with Apple Mail, Calendar, and Contacts, so every email, meeting, and task is automatically linked to the right client, opportunity, or project. It works offline and syncs seamlessly across your devices, with built-in AI (powered by Apple’s Writing Tools) to help you draft and polish communications faster. Everything stays connected: Every note, email, and task builds a searchable history for each client and project, so you and your team always have full context without switching apps or hunting through inboxes. Choose the plan that fits your business: Leap: This plan is designed for anyone starting their business journey or running a side hustle. It includes all essential Daylite features for one user, integration with one email account, up to 500 contacts, and email-only support. Growth: This plan is designed for full-time businesses with growing needs, including those looking to expand their team. It includes everything in Leap, supports up to 20 users, allows three email account integrations per user, includes up to 25,000 contacts, and comes with standard support and onboarding. Scale: This plan is designed for established businesses that need advanced tools and dedicated support to scale successfully. It includes everything in Growth, supports up to 100 users, allows 10 email account integrations per user, includes up to 250,000 contacts, and comes with premium support and onboarding.

Daylite Reviews FAQs

Generated using AI

Last updated: Nov 01, 2026

What is Daylite, and what problem is it built to solve?

Daylite is a CRM and business productivity application for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users. It brings contact management, scheduling, task management, and project tracking together to help small businesses streamline their operations.

What languages does Daylite support?

Daylite supports 5 languages: Dutch, English, French, German, and Spanish.

What company sizes and industries is Daylite the best fit for?

Daylite’s strongest fit is with small businesses, with positive-use experience also concentrated in several service-oriented industries.

Small businesses: The clearest company-size segment among positive users.
Professional services: Management consulting, law practice, and financial services are recurring industry settings.
Creative and client-service businesses: Marketing and advertising, photography, and construction also feature among the represented industries.

How long does it take to implement Daylite across a team?

Time to go live	Relative frequency
Under 1 day	Most common

What customer support options does Daylite provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Daylite users often describe support as responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful in resolving technical questions. Experiences vary, though, and some have found replies slower or the assistance less useful.

What is the experience like for teams switching to Daylite from another tool?

Switching to Daylite is often tied to working in an Apple environment and wanting client records, email, tasks, and project work more closely connected. Users coming from tools such as Act!, GoldMine, Maximizer, Salesforce, and Airtable describe looking for a more Mac-friendly or more integrated workflow; some also value Daylite’s project-management capabilities or lower cost. Getting the data structure and workflows set up can take planning, especially when teams are moving a customized system.

What tools and platforms does Daylite integrate with, and how do these integrations help users get more value from the product?

Daylite’s connections help keep client communication and related work together, particularly for teams using Apple productivity tools.

Apple productivity: Apple Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Billing and finance: Billings and Xero.
Email marketing and automation: Mailchimp and Zapier.
Project planning: Merlin.

In daily use, these connections can link correspondence and schedules to client or project records, support billing workflows, and connect marketing or automation tasks with the CRM.

What features or capabilities could make Daylite even more useful?

More flexible reporting and deeper control over customization are recurring ways users would like Daylite to improve. Other requested additions would make routine work more automated and the experience more adaptable to different teams.

Expand reporting options, including more customizable reports and dashboards.
Add more workflow automation to reduce repetitive manual steps.
Offer further interface and field customization, including layout refinements.
Broaden integrations and access options for teams using non-Apple platforms and tools.

"Easy Partner Tracking, but Limited Integrations"

4/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

I like that Daylite keeps our low-volume partner outreach separate from our main Attio CRM, so it doesn’t clutter our core data or muddy our PLG usage reporting. Its relationship linking is clean and makes it easy to map reseller connections and partner stakeholders, then tie contacts, meetings, deal notes, and follow-up tasks together without overcomplicating things. I also rely on its task automation for reseller check-in reminders. I can tag consent status on contact records and quickly filter and validate it for TCPA and CCPA checks before outreach. The core setup was straightforward, and I imported our partner contacts quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Daylite’s API is weak and limited, so I have to manually export CSVs to sync partner records with Attio. It also lacks native bulk consent scrubbing, so I have to update opt-out flags one entry at a time, which slows me down during quarterly contact data audits. The core setup was straightforward, but customizing fields for consent flags and partner tiers took extra work, and I had to train the BD team to log stakeholder links consistently.

"Centralizes Project Management Effortlessly"

5/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

I like that Daylite allows me to link email conversations with customers directly to their respective projects, which keeps everything organized in one place. The capability to use it across platforms is also something I appreciate. Additionally, it's easy to reorder and regroup our client base information using filters, which I can create and save, and set up follow-up tasks. The calendar feature is very effective for us, as it helps to manage various appointments and tasks efficiently, including associating appointments with individual coworkers. Having everything in one spot significantly simplifies our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

There have been times when the email link feature didn't work, linking different projects to different people and creating a mess. I'm not sure exactly why that happened, but I believe it was some sort of bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Daylite to centralize all project information from start to finish, organize it efficiently, and link relevant emails for clarity, which enhances understanding of project challenges. It streamlines daily operations by keeping everything in one place and linking tasks and notes smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Apple integration, but too many missing CRM features overall"

2/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

The best thing is that it integrates really well in Apple ecosystem and with my apple mail inbox. If your entire team is on Mac, iPhones, iPads then it just works. The macOS integration feels like it actually native Apple app rather then a 3rd party app. The Apple Mail integration is also good, I can link emails to contacts and projects without directly with the Daylite mail assistant integration. Task creation is straightforward and assigning them to different team members is easy enough. So if your a small Mac-only team that just needs basic task tracking and contact management, it's okay but there are a lot of missing features to call it a proper CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Honestly, Everything! Where do I even start. The biggest dealbreaker for me honestly is theres zero automation inside the platform. I've used tools where you can build out workflows, set triggers, create flows that actually move things forward without you having to manually do every single step. Even wordpress plugins supports that and its not even a CRM. You can't build a flow, you can't set up a simple "if this then that" rule, nothing is available. Every action is manual which completely defeats the purpose of a CRM in 2024 when everything else has moved on.

On top of that, the interface feels pretty old. Doesn't feel like a modern SaaS CRM tool at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I started using Daylite in the hopes that it would help me centralise client management and streamline how my team handles every projects and follow-ups. It did solve the basic problem of keeping contacts and tasks in one place. I'm able to assign tasks to team members and see whos responsible for what and that is useful. Apart from that, syncing with Apple Mail so client emails are atleast linkable to the right contact. So on a very basic level it brought some structure to how we track things.

But beyond that it hasn't really "solved" anything. I still have to manually do things that should be automated. I still have to jump between tools because Daylite just can't do everything in one place and isn't enough. The benefit is limited to organisation, not efficiency. It's basically a contacts app on steroids like airtable is spreadsheet on steroids + task management built into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Organization, Excellent Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

I love how Daylite keeps me organized with everything in one place that is easy to access. It's great that all my emails and quotes are saved so I can refresh my memory no matter how long it has been. I also like that it keeps a copy of all my quotes, allowing me to see what I have quoted previously and if I got the order. Daylite is my primary go-to place, where I can link all my conversations and quotes to the customer file or individual person file. Additionally, I can select what and where I want things recorded. The initial setup was very easy, and their tech support is excellent at responding to questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

The email program has to be updated a lot, but I think most of that has to do with new software releases from Apple to their operating system. Daylite does a lot, so to get the full use of it, you will need to spend some time looking at instruction videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One CRM with Customization Challenges"

5/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

Daylite is a solid CRM tool that people love for being an all-in-one platform, combining CRM, tasks, and projects which means there's less app-hopping. It's customizable, letting you adapt it to your workflow rather than the other way around, and integrates nicely with tools like Mail and Calendar. Users also appreciate the smart suggestions from Daylite's AI that help prioritize tasks and close deals faster. The mobile app is great for staying updated and responding quickly on-the-go. Reporting is another highlight, providing clear insights to improve sales and project outcomes. Finally, users find the setup straightforward, with easy import of contacts and tasks from other tools, guided onboarding, and a quick start to productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Some users mention a learning curve as new users might need time to explore all features. There are customization limits, as some want more flexibility in reporting, like customizable report templates and deeper control over dashboard layout and custom fields. Additionally, a few third-party integrations could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Preferred legal CRM"

5/5

What do you like best about Daylite?

I enjoy the way Daylite allows me to organize my clients, opportunities, and tasks. I can easily see a few different panes of my most active cases, as well as any outstanding tasks and my daily schedule, all at once and have begun to use the Daylite calendar to organize my personal events as well as work events due to its integration with Apple Mail and Calendar. Any time we have needed assistance, the Marketcircle team helps us find a solution to keep Daylite running smoothly for our firm. It is the first thing open on my computer every day, and out of all the programs and platforms we use, causes us the least grief! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

There is very little, but it seems like there is room for improvement on the automatic tagging feature when it comes to projects, contacts, and attachments from email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

No Sync / Integration with Office 365

Like many small businesses, we use Microsoft 365 for Identity, Collaboration, File Repository and Email Hosting. There is no integration / sync from Daylite to Office 365 Calendar or Contacts. If you or your clients use MS Teams or Outlook for calendar management / scheduling this is a HUGE pain point and prevents one from using Microsoft Booking functionality. Especially when you or clients need to reschedule events.

Not Compatible with MacOS Sonoma.

At the time of writing Daylite is not compatible with MacOS Sonoma due to issues with the Daylite Mail Assistant. Also - accessing customer support from the Australian timezone can be challenging.

UI Dated

Whilst there have been some recent improvements to the iOS UI, the MacOS is feeling a bit dated/tired and would benefit from being modernised to improve user experience. Especially when entering data into objects

Basic Features Require User to Purchase Add Ons.

Some features that should be included in the Daylite system (e.g. Custom Fields for Objects with Drop Downs, Unique Opportunity or Project Numbering) require an additional subscription from a 3rd party provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Thanny Schmitz of Daylite

Hi John - Thank you for much for taking the time to leave a review and such a detailed feedback.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Highly recommended, from our experience of several CRM through the years (with Windows then Macs), DAYLITE is the best from far, it suits particularly small business and organisations in our view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

As agent for several principals in different countries, we are the hub of communications between multiple contacts, several with the customers and several with the principals for various technical projects, the Daylite CRM helps us enormously to follow all and be on top of it; also projects sometimes run for a very long period of time, and the easiness of search for a particular document or message is great for us, including technical drawings, pictures, technical data sheets etc. Invaluable also the fact that we are both (we are a micro company with only 2 people) aware at all time of the files and their progress, including when travelling for business.
