About Daylite for Mac

Running a service-based business means balancing clients, projects, and relationships while still finding time to grow. Too often, that work is scattered across multiple apps, emails buried in inboxes, follow-ups forgotten, projects delayed, and important details lost. The result is wasted time, inefficiency, and stress.

Daylite is the all-in-one app designed to help service-based businesses manage the entire client lifecycle in one place. From first contact to repeat and referral business, Daylite connects every step so you can deliver exceptional service without losing time to disconnected tools.

Who Daylite is for
Daylite is built for service-based businesses where time and trust are the product. Consultants, coaches, lawyers, real estate professionals, financial planners, and other professionals use Daylite to manage clients, new client opportunities, projects, tasks, notes, and email in one system designed for Apple users. Whether you’re a solo professional or leading a team, Daylite helps you stay organized, efficient, and focused on your clients.

Why Daylite is different
Unlike generic CRMs, Daylite integrates email directly into your workflow. Mail in Daylite turns messa...

ges into action by linking them to clients, new client opportunities, or projects, and by allowing you to create tasks, appointments, or even new client opportunities right from your inbox. Your inbox is no longer where work gets stuck, it becomes the place where work moves forward. Daylite is also built specifically for the Apple ecosystem, with native apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It works seamlessly offline, syncing automatically when you’re back online, so you can rely on it wherever you are. Collaboration and visibility Daylite helps teams stay aligned by sharing calendars, delegating tasks, and tracking progress. Business owners gain visibility into workloads and upcoming deadlines, while individuals stay accountable and focused. For solo professionals, it provides the same clarity and organization without the need for extra staff. Security and trust We know your client data is sensitive. Daylite is ISO 27001 certified, uses secure cloud sync, and provides flexible permission controls so you decide who sees what. You can feel confident that your business and your client relationships are protected. Customer service that puts fit first At Marketcircle, we know that choosing software isn’t just about features it’s about finding the right fit for your business. That’s why we put so much effort into helping every customer succeed. We also recognize that effort is best spent on businesses that will truly benefit from Daylite. Our approach saves everyone time and money: you avoid investing in a tool that won’t serve you well, and we focus our resources on customers who can get the most out of Daylite. To make that decision easier, our team is available for calls to talk through your goals and challenges and to see if Daylite is the right match. If it is, we’ll guide you through getting started with personalized onboarding, one-on-one support, and a library of educational resources. If it isn’t, you’ll walk away knowing sooner rather than later with no wasted effort on either side. The outcome Daylite helps you run your service-based business more efficiently, so you get time back to focus on what matters most, like working with more clients, delivering great service, and growing your business with confidence. With everything connected, clients, new client opportunities, projects, tasks, notes, and email, you’ll avoid missed opportunities, streamline your workflows, and gain clear visibility into the bigger picture. That means fewer things slipping through the cracks and more confidence in how you operate your business every day.

Fantastic app!

Pros:

I loved the easy way it integrated with Apple Mail, and my iCal. Fantastic, the emails can be quickly assigned to any contact, appointment or project, and it links with existing contacts automatically.

Cons:

nothing, everytime I look for a solution while I am setting up, there is one. Daylite does come up much in CRM searches which is odd. I asked ChatGTP for the best CRM for Apple integration and it put Daylite at its top recommendation.

Reasons for choosing Daylite for Mac

Mainly due to ease of integration. My bookings are often multi day and many apps only allowed appointments across one day. That ruled them out. Also integrating with Outlook means you need the business version of Outlook and setting that up was a nightmare.

Reasons for switching to Daylite for Mac

I spent ages trying to set up ZOHO. I thought it was good, but integrating with Outlook was a nightmare and the calendar remained outside the App. I gave up. Wasted a lot of time.

Technical Excellence with High Customer Experience

Functionality

Pros:

Apple already has a good ecosystem of products but for business purposes, they can be (very) siloed. Daylite brings it all together in an incredibly INTEGRATED fashion! It is also a native application on the Mac - not just web-based - so it feels responsive and local. Yay!

Cons:

Calendar scheduling. I know the company is currently at work on this but creating recurring events is a bit of a cluster and integrating seamlessly with Microsoft and Google-based calendaring is not "there" yet.

Reasons for choosing Daylite for Mac

They aren't Mac-based and only server-based. So they do NOT integrate nicely with Apple's ecosystem AT ALL. Also the alternatives are clearly built by geeks (no offense) but they are NOT friendly to use.

Functionality

Pros:

The software is project based rather than calendar based but it has all the functionality of a highly effective calendar, task and file linking package. The linking of clients to projects, calendars, contacts, notes, tasks and emails is so helpful. I can click on a client or a project and see the whole history of how I have interacted with the client, what projects we have worked on, when I last spoke /emailed them etc. It makes it super easy to stay clearly on top of all of the different projects and priorities I have. It syncs with my phone and iPad and computer so I am up to date at all times.

Cons:

I used to wish that I could link emails on my phone to Daylite. The functionality used to only exist with the desktop. Last year, they added this functionality and now it makes my life much easier. Occasionally it hiccups in the email linking but is getting better and better as they do the fixes.

Why we use Daylite as a media company

Daylite is just easy to use. We spend very little time during induction teaching people how to use Daylite. If they can use a computer they can use Daylite. I recently had an issue with my personal installation. The support team from Daylite responded quickly and solved the matter within the hour. This was made even more compelling by the time difference between my locale and that of the support team. Regardless of how good the product is, the ability of the support team to get you out of trouble quickly and without fuss is what determines the quality of the product.

The integration across the Apple platform is critical. We don't always have our computers with us, the ability to stay up to date in field is important. Being able to update the database on our iPhones and iPads lightens the physical load on our team

Cons:

If I find one I'll let you know. Like all software there are features that could be better. with the integration across the Apple environment these niggle are less important.

A fully featured and user productive CRM

I have been using Daylite since v2 (now v6 and cloud based). It provides a wide CRM feature set and integrates aspects of project and time management. For small business operators that is really useful. What is particularly useful to me, is that it integrates so well with Mail - so many leads & communications come or go via email. Being able to link Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Projects, Appointments - and capturing that connectivity in my CRM is really useful. Having work with a Salesforce implementation where capturing email traffic and info was never as comprehensive - Daylite is a pleasure to use. There are a range of readily available and easily installable developer add-ons (e.g. www.iosxper.biz and www.puremac.com.au). They add additional features (e.g. multi-currency invoicing, productivity enhancements, Kanban boards), integrations (e.g. online diary publication & management, email campaigns, phone integrations, messaging, web conferencing) and improved reporting. My only real frustration is the inability to create customised views and reports across objects - without developers assistance. While the layered stack architecture will allow enormous customisation - you really need a coders help. Having said that, for 85% of what I do, I can survive for now and as my new business grows and scales, I know there is a solution to my needs. Overall I am a Daylite addict and evangelist!

Functionality

Pros:

Awesome user interface, integration into MacOS environment (e.g. Mail), layered architecture allows for integration and customisation, loyal developer ecosystem and low cost per user. Do not underestimate the value of the Daylite Mail Integration - so much of my communications and lead acquisition is via referral and via email - getting data quickly and consistently into any CRM is essential to its adaption. There are iOS/iPad OS apps - not a desktop replacement but great for road warriors to keep the communication channels open or to make productive use of time when out of the office and between meetings.

Cons:

Some highly technical limitations: - No web browser access to a Cloud-hosted service - but the OSX and iOS apps are awesome! - Limited "regular" user ability to create customised views and reports across multiple objects without developer engagement. - Dependent upon Apple apps for integration with MS Exchange/Office365 - more limited in iOS version

Reasons for switching to Daylite for Mac

I started my own business, prefer the Mac environment and could not face the amount of customisation and poor integrations to everyday needs (e.g. email) found in Win10 apps or purely browser/cloud based services. With many disruptive CRMs project no fees, to match the out of the box feature set and productivity of Daylite, you need to subscribe for layers of add-on services. They are not price competitive. There are email add-on solutions which partially work but not with the ease, sophistication or as comprehensively as Daylite & Daylite Mail Integration.

Pros:

I love that I can access everything on my phone and my computer and it automatically syncs - that I can have all of my calendar appointments, tasks, clients, projects, opportunities and corresponding emails all in one place whenever I need it. I really couldn't live without this product. I rely on it for everything. Ever since it's been in the cloud, it's gotten much better, and they've really added a lot of features, and web seminars and more customer support.

Cons:

It doesn't play well with others and integrate easily with other software - particularly with other calendar systems. When I want to invite my husband or son to personal family calendar appointments, it's many steps for them to accept a meeting. I wish they would fix that feature and also integrate with other apps and not have to use Zapier or multiple steps.

Reasons for choosing Daylite for Mac

Someone showed it to me years ago and got me on it and quite honestly, when I thought about switching, it felt like much more trouble than it was worth - and then they improved so I didn't feel I needed to.
