Your day is a cup.
It holds what it holds. Daycup shows you what fits today — and what doesn’t.
The problem
You don’t plan badly. You plan too much.
Eight hours of tasks in six hours of day isn’t a plan. It’s a wish list with a deadline.
Most planners let you write down anything. Daycup asks one thing first: how much room do you actually have?
How it works
Start with the truth.
Take the day, minus what’s already booked: sleep, work, meals, the commute. That leaves 8h free. Keep 2h to breathe.
6h in your cup.

Every task goes in with how long it takes, as a layer. Its height is its time.
