Your calendar
has a recovery cost.

DayGauge turns your calendar and Apple Watch recovery data into three private decisions every Sunday, so next week costs less. No event details read. No logging. iPhone-only.

No event titles, attendees, or addresses are ever read or stored. Calendar shape only.

01

Calendar shape, not content.

We read meeting count, duration, and gaps. Never titles or attendees. Apple's most restricted Calendar scope.

02

Three decisions, not a dashboard.

Every Sunday at 7pm, the Brief lands with three concrete calendar edits for next week. Move the late meeting. Protect the recovery block. Stop reading rings.

03

Cited, not generic.

Every recommendation links to the research behind it. Clow 2010, Åkerstedt 2020, Mark 2008. No wellness platitudes.

Sunday, 19:00 · Week 19

A focused week,
slightly under-slept.

Drained by

Two evening meetings past 7pm. Your sleep onset shifted 38 minutes later on those nights.

Lifted by

A 3-hour open block on Thursday. Steps rose 22% that afternoon, HRV +8% the next morning.

Three decisions for next week
  1. Move the recurring Wednesday 6:45pm sync to Thursday 4pm.
  2. Block 9-10:30am Tuesday. Override-proof.
  3. Cap next week at 18 meeting hours.

Last Sunday's Brief for one of our beta testers — a PM at a London fintech, 22 meeting hours that week.

Who it's for

DayGauge is built for one person: a meeting-heavy product or engineering manager, in a London or NYC tech company, who wears an Apple Watch and already complains about calendar debt.

If that's not you, this probably isn't the app you're looking for.
