Sound familiar?

The timeline is the job.
The tools have never respected that.

🕚

11:47 PM, the night before

One change from the venue and you're re-typing forty times in a Google Doc, then re-exporting, then re-emailing six vendors — hoping nobody runs the old version tomorrow.

📶

Barn venues don't have wifi

Cloud planning suites are wonderful until you're in a paddock, a basement ballroom, or a heritage church. DayOf HQ is a real app on your device. Airplane mode is a feature, not an outage.

💸

$660 a year. For a document.

The best-known timeline tool costs $54.95 a month — or $195 for five events. You make timelines for a living; you shouldn't rent the ability to do it.

How it works

Three steps. Ten minutes. Every version handled.

1

Start from a real template

Classic single-venue, church + reception, first look, two-day celebration, elopement. Type the ceremony time once — the whole day drafts itself around it.

2

Drag until it's true

Blocks for every moment, parallel lanes for hair & makeup vs. venue setup, pins 🔒 for the times you've promised the caterer. Change anything — everything downstream ripples, and buffer warnings show you exactly what got tight.

3

Export every audience's version

One master timeline becomes the couple's copy, the vendor sheet, the DJ/MC run sheet with cue notes, the photographer's schedule with golden hour marked. Beautiful branded PDFs — your logo, your colours.

Built for the day itself

Everything the day-of needs. Nothing your CRM already does.

DayOf HQ doesn't want your contracts, invoices, or guest list. It does one thing — the running of the day — better than anything else.

Auto-ripple with pins

The feature that should have always existed: slip one block and every following time recalculates instantly. Pin what can't move; watch buffers compress in amber and red before they become a problem at 6 PM on a Saturday.

Parallel lanes

Real weddings aren't a single-file line. Run both partners' prep, venue setup and vendor arrivals side-by-side, converging exactly where they should.

Audience versions

Filter the master into the couple's version, the vendor version, the DJ's run sheet, the photographer's schedule — edit once, every version stays true.

PDFs worthy of the stationery table

Three editorial themes, your logo and accent colour, a vendor contact grid on the back page. PNG export for quick texts. Output that quietly advertises your professionalism.

Sunset, built in

Golden hour drawn straight onto the timeline for your date and venue city — no separate app, no network needed. Photographers will hug you.

Yours. Actually yours.

No account. No cloud. Files live on your device in an open format, autosaved on every change. If we vanished tomorrow, your app and your timelines keep working. Try finding a subscription that says that.

What “buy once” means here — in writing

Pay-once software has been ruined by fine print, so here's ours, up front, forever:

  • Your licence never expires. The version you buy is yours for life, offline, no activation server required after setup.
  • 12 months of updates and new features included. After that, your app keeps working exactly as it is — updates just stop being added.
  • Bug fixes are always free. For everyone, forever. Broken software isn't an upsell.
  • Major new versions (a v2, if it ever exists) will be a separate, discounted purchase — at least 18–24 months away, announced honestly, never forced.
  • Your data is never hostage. Open file format, documented, exportable. No account to close, because there's no account.
Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Who is this for?

Wedding planners and day-of coordinators first — plus mobile DJs/MCs who run receptions, photographers who plan coverage around light, venue coordinators and celebrants. If your Saturdays are run off a timeline, it's for you.

What does it run on?

Any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or iPad — installable as an app, and fully functional offline after the first load. A packaged desktop version follows shortly after launch.

Is my data in the cloud?

No. There's no account and no server. Timelines autosave on your device and save to files you control. That's the point.

How do vendors see the timeline?

You export their version as a beautiful PDF (or PNG) and send it however you already talk to them. No portals, no “create an account to view this timeline” emails for your vendors.

Why is it so much cheaper than the subscription tools?

Because it costs us nothing per month to keep your copy running — there are no servers storing your data. Subscription pricing funds infrastructure you don't need for what is, at heart, a brilliant document.

What if it's not for me?

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. And the free demo is the full app — try it on a real wedding first.
