Daycon Help

What Daycon does, screen by screen, and what to expect. If you're in the demo, everything here works the same way, and it's all wiped when you leave.

1. What Daycon is

Daycon puts your day in front of you: what's on today and the next few days, what's still yours to do, the notes you log, and one place to talk with the people you share life or work with. Everything is kept as plain notes in your own space, on a private server, and nothing you write is ever changed by Daycon.

2. Today: the agenda and the checklist

The Quote of the Day and the month's Anchor Verse sit at the top: one short line to carry, and one passage to ponder all month.
Morning Anchor (marked Compass): four lines to start the day. Current Wobble is where you're off course right now, honestly; Morning Connections, the people and the prayer you began with; Project focus, the one piece of work that matters most today; Reading, what you're reading. Tap Fill or Add beside one. In the demo, Dana's earlier days show hers.
Today & Ahead: the agenda, a line for each of the next few days, with your calendar's events in it.
The Checklist: today's easy items, the ones you'd rather tick than write about: a call, a text, a pickup. Tick one and it's crossed out. + Add to the checklist sits under the agenda.
Still yours: the longer list, collapsed. It ticks off the same way.
You said tomorrow needs: when you closed yesterday, what you wrote for today is at the top, in your own words.
‹ › at the top move a day back or forward; tap the date to come back to today.

3. Me, the family, the work

The chips across the top narrow the day. Me always shows everything that's yours. The others (in the demo, Harpers and Harper Home Repair) show only that part of life: its agenda items, its notes, its calendar. A line you log while a chip is on is marked for that part.

4. Log a line

The big Log button. Type, or tap your keyboard's microphone and say it. Choose where it goes (Notes, Movement, or a Morning Anchor line) and tap Log it. It goes into the day's note and nowhere else.

Lists and formatting work as you type: start a line with - for a list and Enter carries it on; Tab indents it; **bold** and *italic*; [[a note]] links to another note. Every box grows as you write, then scrolls.

5. Capture an Insight or a Reflection

Capture walks you through one, a question at a time. An Insight is something you heard (a sermon, a book, a conversation): the title, where it came from, what caught you, why it landed, and one response. A Reflection is what God is showing you. Each becomes its own note, linked from the day.

6. Calendar

Your calendar, read-only, as a month. Tap a day to see it, then Open this day to go there. Events also appear in the agenda on Today.

7. Ask

Ask a question about your own notes ("what did I write about the knee this week?") and get a short answer with where it came from. Ask reads; it can't change anything.

8. Messages

A conversation for everyone in your space, and one for each pair of people. Messages arrive in a second or two while Daycon is open; the tab shows how many are unread. Messages are kept as notes in your space, so you can search them and Ask can read them. The tab appears once someone else is in your space.

9. Close the day

In the evening, Close the day sits at the bottom of Today (all day, on a past day that's still open). About two minutes:

Your Movement line, if it's empty: what you did today.

Three questions: what moved, what didn't, what tomorrow needs. Typed or spoken.

What carries forward: untick what's done or no longer yours.

Close today and set up tomorrow. Your answers go into the day as you wrote them, and tomorrow is ready: your words at the top, the calendar, and what carried.

If you don't close it, tomorrow is still set up overnight. A closed day can take a line you remember later.

Daycon is by invitation. The link you're sent works once, for 72 hours: open it, name your device, and tap Make my passkey. Your phone or computer asks for your fingerprint, face or PIN, and that's how you sign in from then on. No password, ever. If your device can't make a passkey, Sign in without a passkey keeps that device signed in for 90 days. A lost phone: ask whoever invited you to remove it and send a new link.

11. In the demo

You're Dana Harper, a made-up mom with a small repair business, her husband Sam and their daughter Maya. Everything works: log, tick, close the day, message the family (they answer), and ask about Pilocon's books in Ask or in the Pilocon conversation. In the demo, answers come from searching its notes. The quotes of the day are from Ron Robison's own writing: his books, Reflections and Insights. The Anchor Verse is the Berean Standard Bible. Everything is wiped when you tap End the demo, after 30 minutes without use, or after two hours.
