ListMyDay has two ways to use the same iPhone/iPad app. A Caregiver enters and manages information. A Care receiver sees a simple daily board and can mark permitted tasks Done.

What can the caregiver enter?
For ordinary entries choose Caregiver → Tasks → Add item → Type. For birthdays, choose the separate Birthdays tab and tap Add birthday. Both paths use the same supported item types:
| Type | Example | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment | Video appointment at 2:00 PM | A scheduled event with a time and optional alert |
| To do | Water the plants every Monday | A task that can be marked Done on its scheduled day |
| Visit | Alex visits Saturday | A visitor or other planned visit |
| Important | Trash pickup is Thursday | Information worth knowing |
| Birthday | Taylor's birthday on July 16 | A personal date that repeats automatically every year |
| My day | A quiet day at home | A short note describing the day |
Other repeat choices include Does not repeat, Every day, Every week, Every month, and Every year. Drafts are private to the caregiver device until published.
Birthdays: enter once, show every year
Choose Caregiver → Birthdays → Add birthday. Enter the person's name, optional note and birthday date, then tap Publish to board. Birthdays appear in a separate caregiver list sorted by month and day, not in the Tasks list. They recur every year; February 29 birthdays appear on February 28 in non-leap years. On the receiver, all birthdays for TODAY or TOMORROW appear in their own Birthdays today or Birthdays tomorrow group, without displacing appointments or tasks. The first three names show initially; choose Show more birthdays to see the rest. No Done button or appointment notification. Learn how to manage many birthdays.
Holidays without extra reminders
For common US holidays, the board says Today is Christmas Day beneath the date and clock. When enabled, TOMORROW says Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, even with no tasks scheduled. Holidays follow the household time zone and do not take task slots, need completion, or send alerts. The caregiver can turn them off, choose all federal holidays, or show observed weekdays in Display settings.
Two-minute caregiver quick start
- Open ListMyDay on your caregiver device.
- Scroll to Tasks & reminders and tap Add item.
- Pick a type, enter a short title and choose the date. For a repeating task, use the Repeat picker. To enter a birthday instead, switch to Birthdays → Add birthday and enter the birthday date.
- Tap Publish to board rather than Save draft.
- Wait for the approved receiver to sync, then check its TODAY or TOMORROW section.
See full instructions with worked examples.
Care receiver quick start
- Open ListMyDay and choose Set up as care receiver if this is a new device.
- Enter the short pairing code from your caregiver, show them the separate six-digit verification code, and wait for approval.
- Read TODAY. When you really finish a To do task, tap Done today. Family birthdays are grouped separately from tasks.
- Read TOMORROW for an early look. There is no Done button there.
See full receiver setup and daily-use instructions.
The receiver keeps the date and clock together in a clear header. If weather is enabled, it appears in a separate full-width panel rather than squeezing the clock. Learn about weather and alerts.
