From Thesaurus.com:

day-to-day [ dey-tuh-dey ] Main Entry: daily Part of Speech: adjective Definition: occurring every day; during the day

Synonyms: circadian, common, commonplace, constantly, cyclic, day after day, day by day, day-to-day, diurnal, everyday, from day to day, often, once a day, once daily, ordinary, per diem, periodic, quotidian, regular, regularly, routine

My comment:

Of the synonyms listed above, circadian, diurnal and quotidian are more formal, being Latinate; these are less likely to be understood in casual speech or non-academic writing.
