Daylite is specifically designed for Apple devices so you can integrate with Apple Mail on your Mac, and leverage features like Siri and Caller ID on your iPhone.
Daylite helps you and your team:
- Remember when to follow up by setting tasks & reminders
- Remember important details by tying emails, call and meeting notes to clients and projects
- Keep track of all the moving pieces on a project with tasks, emails, and calendars all in one place
- Streamline your sales and project processes with customizable pipelines and checklists

Users of the app include small businesses producing their own promotional graphics, pro designers that are looking for a quick solution, and social media content creators who need fresh, new graphics on a daily basis for Facebook and Twitter covers, YouTube channel art, YouTube thumbnails, and Instagram posts.
The app’s template collection reflects most current design trends, including:
- Photorealistic 3D Texts

- Photos with Captions
- Grunge Style
- 2D Calligraphy
- Neon & Glowing Effects
- 3D Transformed Texts
Users can experiment with template colors, while preserving the style color scheme, and change text or background color separately, replace background images, and set any document size. Text settings allow users to change the font easily, adjust color, control geometry (chamfer, thickness, depth, and perspective), apply shadow and glow, and tune lighting. All the textures are seamless and scalable.
