Day Start Hour
Day Start Hour
Section titled “Day Start Hour”By default, DailyDriver treats the day as starting at 4:00 AM rather than midnight. This matters because entries logged in the small hours (say, a 2 AM hygiene log or target progress) usually belong to the previous day in how you think about your routine.
What it affects
Section titled “What it affects”The day-start hour is applied to:
- Hygiene — nudges and the manager: an entry before the day-start hour counts toward the previous day.
- Targets — daily totals and interval calculations use the shifted day.
- Day view (optional) — the
daytimeline has two boundary modes, toggled withminside the view: midnight (the default, 00:00 → 24:00) and day start, which runs from the day-start hour to the same hour the next day. The last-used mode is remembered.
Other views (journal timestamps, calendars, export) use the real calendar date.
