What Daytical is

Daytical is a digital teacher planner and micro learning management system for K–12 educators. It brings yearly, unit and lesson planning together with daily and weekly planning rituals. Teachers can open lesson rooms to share classwork and review student submissions, and manage courses with rosters, checklists and attendance tracking. Worksheet exercises can be marked automatically with feedback; teachers remain responsible for making assessments accurate and fair. An AI assistant can help draft teaching materials using web search, image generation and access to Google Drive files the user selects. Daytical supports Google sign-in and an optional Drive connection restricted to individually chosen files. Materials can be exported as PDF or CSV, and users can export account data. It runs on laptops and phones as an installable progressive web app for desktop and mobile devices. The maker says student roster data is not sent to AI providers and lists FERPA, COPPA and GDPR compliance. Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest, according to its privacy policy. A 14-day trial is available, and the teacher plan costs $12 a year, billed as $144 once a year. School and district options include invoice payment, SSO and data-processing agreements.
