About Daysight
When I was a young finance professional in NYC, I remembered birthdays too late to actually do anything for them (if I remembered them at all!). I started Daysight to help you (and me!) stop making the same mistake.
A calendar reminder the day-of at 9am isn't that helpful. Daysight sends you a heads-up early enough to act on it, with a gift idea so you're not scrambling.
Privacy is the foundation, not a feature
The data you put into Daysight is personal: birthdays, relationships, the people who matter most to you. We take that seriously. We will never sell, share, or monetize your personal data.
We don't track you across the web. We don't contact the people you add. Your contact list exists for one reason: to help you show up for the people in your life.
You're always in control. You can export all of your data at any time, and you can delete your account, along with every piece of data we hold, whenever you choose. No retention periods, no hidden backups, and no hoops to jump through. When we say delete, we mean it.
How we keep the lights on
Daysight is free to use, and we intend to keep it that way. When we include a gift suggestion in your reminder email, the link is an affiliate link. If you choose to purchase through it, we earn a small commission from the retailer — at no extra cost to you.
That's our entire business model. No subscriptions, no ads, and no data sales. Gift suggestions are the value we add: they save you time and mental energy. Affiliate commissions are how we fund the service. Both sides of that equation need to work, and we think that alignment is what makes Daysight sustainable.
You're never obligated to buy through our links. If you already know what to get, or prefer to shop somewhere else, the reminder still does its job. We succeed when we make sure you remember and prepare for the big days.
