Fantastic app!
I have been looking for a simple easy to use app to keep all my clients records and appointments together in one place. This app is wonderful and sorry I didn't find it sooner. The customer service is excellent.
Pros
I loved the easy way it integrated with Apple Mail, and my iCal. Fantastic, the emails can be quickly assigned to any contact, appointment or project, and it links with existing contacts automatically.
Cons
nothing, everytime I look for a solution while I am setting up, there is one. Daylite does come up much in CRM searches which is odd. I asked ChatGTP for the best CRM for Apple integration and it put Daylite at its top recommendation.

I spent ages trying to set up ZOHO. I thought it was good, but integrating with Outlook was a nightmare and the calendar remained outside the App. I gave up. Wasted a lot of time.Switched From
Zoho CRMReasons for Switching to Daylite for Mac
Mainly due to ease of integration. My bookings are often multi day and many apps only allowed appointments across one day. That ruled them out. Also integrating with Outlook means you need the business version of Outlook and setting that up was a nightmare.

The best small business or freelancer CRM
Extremely positive. I was a Daylite user for a long time, switched to something else including various web based solutions, and will now switched back full time because I miss the advantages of a native Mac app.
Pros
Daylite is beautifully integrated into macOS, very easy to set up, very easy to use. A masterclass of focused app development n
Cons
Daylite lacks a little flexibility at times, and I think the iOS and iPadOS apps are rather behind the Mac app.

Still waiting for Daylite to catch up
I will say that the support team at MarketCircle are first-rate, but they’re supporting a very tired-functioning and slow product, that doesn’t adapt to changing user expectations very quickly, if at all. There was a period of approx. 3 months where one of the main features, Daylite Mail Assistant, simply stopped working after an OSX upgrade. The support team was excellent during that period and they did extend my subscription as compensation. But I’m VERY tired of the entire software industry attitude of ‘release and fix’ rather than ‘polish and be proud’. If Daylite had another major competitor on the Mac platform, they’d likely move more quickly. But they don’t. So there’s not much impetus for them to bring the product up to modern standards. It still feels like a piece of software from the early 2000’s. I suppose in it’s price point, it’s competitive in that regard. But I’ll gladly provide the devs there with my laundry list of complaints if they’ll get in touch with me. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but I think as a paying customer I’m entitled to render an informed opinion.
Pros
It has two essential components to track new business Opportunities and management/logistics for Projects which is what attracted me initially.
Cons
It is riddled with bugs in the code and inconsistencies in it’s severely outdated UI. The User Experience overall has been designed by engineers, with little regard for implementation of modern OSX conventions. If I had to distill it down to one major issue: TOO MANY CLICKS to perform simple tasks. All the functionality I’d want is there...somewhere. But it takes MANY MANY screens and clicks to perform simple everyday tasks, and ends up taking me MUCH longer than it should to input data. Also, the companion iOS apps for iPhone and iPad are severely hobbled, and there is NO web interface whatsoever. If you run it on a desktop computer (ie: in an office, desk bound environment) you’re fine. If you have ANY need to be a mobile user, you’re mostly out of luck. As an example, the iOS version will not allow file attachments when composing new email. That’s one of a loooong list of shortcomings I’ve logged since using this since 2014. The truth is, as soon as something more modern and functional comes along I’ll gladly migrate my business over to speed up my workflow. The Report engine is an absolute horror-show. Just try an build a custom report without pulling your hair out and giving up.

Why we use Daylite as a media company
Daylite is just easy to use. We spend very little time during induction teaching people how to use Daylite. If they can use a computer they can use Daylite.
I recently had an issue with my personal installation. The support team from Daylite responded quickly and solved the matter within the hour. This was made even more compelling by the time difference between my locale and that of the support team.
Regardless of how good the product is, the ability of the support team to get you out of trouble quickly and without fuss is what determines the quality of the product.
Pros
The integration across the Apple platform is critical. We don't always have our computers with us, the ability to stay up to date in field is important.
Being able to update the database on our iPhones and iPads lightens the physical load on our team
Cons
If I find one I'll let you know. Like all software there are features that could be better. with the integration across the Apple environment these niggle are less important.

A fully featured and user productive CRM
I have been using Daylite since v2 (now v6 and cloud based). It provides a wide CRM feature set and integrates aspects of project and time management. For small business operators that is really useful. What is particularly useful to me, is that it integrates so well with Mail - so many leads & communications come or go via email. Being able to link Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Projects, Appointments - and capturing that connectivity in my CRM is really useful. Having work with a Salesforce implementation where capturing email traffic and info was never as comprehensive - Daylite is a pleasure to use.
There are a range of readily available and easily installable developer add-ons (e.g. www.iosxper.biz and www.puremac.com.au). They add additional features (e.g. multi-currency invoicing, productivity enhancements, Kanban boards), integrations (e.g. online diary publication & management, email campaigns, phone integrations, messaging, web conferencing) and improved reporting.
My only real frustration is the inability to create customised views and reports across objects - without developers assistance. While the layered stack architecture will allow enormous customisation - you really need a coders help. Having said that, for 85% of what I do, I can survive for now and as my new business grows and scales, I know there is a solution to my needs.
Overall I am a Daylite addict and evangelist!
Pros
Awesome user interface, integration into MacOS environment (e.g. Mail), layered architecture allows for integration and customisation, loyal developer ecosystem and low cost per user.
Do not underestimate the value of the Daylite Mail Integration - so much of my communications and lead acquisition is via referral and via email - getting data quickly and consistently into any CRM is essential to its adaption.
There are iOS/iPad OS apps - not a desktop replacement but great for road warriors to keep the communication channels open or to make productive use of time when out of the office and between meetings.
Cons
Some highly technical limitations:
- No web browser access to a Cloud-hosted service - but the OSX and iOS apps are awesome!
- Limited "regular" user ability to create customised views and reports across multiple objects without developer engagement.
- Dependent upon Apple apps for integration with MS Exchange/Office365 - more limited in iOS version
