One short brief, before the day starts.
Tilly reads every calendar you connect and writes a daily brief you read once: what is next, how much of the day is already spoken for, which meetings collide, and where there is still room to work. Free in the app on iPhone, Mac, and the web.
The whole day, in the first ten seconds.
The brief opens with the date and a count you can act on: how many meetings, how long they take together, and how much free time is left around them. Underneath sit the next commitment, any all-day items, and the busiest run of back-to-back meetings, so you know before breakfast whether the afternoon is real.
It names the conflict, not just a number.
A badge that says “1 conflict” makes you go looking. Tilly lists the overlapping meetings by title, with the minutes they share, and drops each one as it passes so the brief never nags you about a collision that resolved itself at eleven.
How the chief of staff asks before it acts
Free time you can actually book.
Once you set the hours you are available, open time is measured against them rather than a generic eight-hour day, and the brief offers to protect an opening large enough for real work. Approve it and the block lands on the calendar that controls your availability, so a meeting request sees busy time instead of a gap.

Where the brief finds you.
A brief you have to go and open is a brief you stop reading. Tilly puts the same one in the places you already look.
Today, on every device
The brief sits at the top of Today on iPhone, Mac, and the web, and collapses once you have read it.
A Home Screen widget
One of eight iPhone widgets, so the day is readable without unlocking anything.
In your inbox on Pro
Tilly Pro emails the brief each morning, and to up to two extra addresses once each one confirms.
News from the topics you pick
Choose the subjects you follow and the brief opens with the few headlines that touch them.
Only the calendars you show
Hiding a calendar in Tilly takes it out of the brief and its counts, and never touches the provider.
Quiet by design
No streaks and no score. It describes the day, then gets out of the way.
What is free, and what Pro adds.
The free plan is the useful baseline. Pro is the layer that solves the harder problems.

Questions about a daily brief app.
What is a daily brief app?
A daily brief app reads the day ahead and gives you one short summary instead of a calendar you have to interpret. Tilly opens with the date, how many meetings you have and how long they take, the free time left around them, any conflicts, and the next thing on the calendar.
Which calendars does the daily brief read?
Every calendar you connect and keep visible: Google Calendar, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud, CalDAV servers, and subscribed ICS feeds. Hiding a calendar in Tilly takes it out of the brief and its counts without deleting anything at the provider.
Is the daily brief free?
Yes. The brief is in the app on every plan, on iPhone, Mac, and the web. Tilly Pro adds the brief by email each morning. Pro is $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year and includes a 14 day trial for eligible new subscribers.
Can the brief go to someone else as well?
On Pro you can add up to two extra recipients, such as a partner or an assistant. Each address has to confirm by email before a brief is ever sent to it, so nobody receives your schedule without opting in first.
Does the daily brief change my calendar?
No. The brief describes the day and names what needs a decision. Any calendar or task write is prepared and then waits for explicit approval, with the destination calendar and the details visible before you save.
Connecting the first calendar takes about a minute, and the brief is there the next morning.
Start tomorrow with the whole day in one place.
Free on iPhone, Mac, and the web.
