Your Day
The main screen shows one day at a time. Four tabs at the top change what you see.
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Habits, tasks, time blocks and calendar events for the day, plus that day's reminders |
| Habits | Habits only, plus that day's reminders |
| Tasks | Tasks only, plus that day's reminders |
| Planner | A 24-hour timeline. See Planner. |
Moving between days
- Swipe left or right on the All, Habits or Tasks tab to go to the next or previous day.
- Tap the date under the greeting to open Choose Date. Use the arrows to change months and tap a day to jump to it.
In Choose Date, today is filled with your accent color, and each day has a ring that shows how much of that day you completed. The ring counts the habits active that day (skipped habits aren't counted) and the tasks dated that day.
What's in the day list
From top to bottom, the All tab shows:
- Period Goals banner. If you have habits with a weekly, monthly or yearly goal, a banner lists each one with its progress, for example "Read: 3/5". Tap the x to hide it for now. You can turn it off for good in Customization or per habit with Show in Summary Banner.
- Wake-up bookend. Your wake-up time, such as "Wake up time 7:00 AM".
- Reminders for that date, including enabled holidays. See Reminders.
- Items with a time, in time order: habits, tasks, time blocks and calendar events.
- Items without a time, in alphabetical order.
- Sleep bookend. Your sleep time.
Unfinished items are listed before finished ones. The Habits and Tasks tabs work the same way but only show their own items. The Period Goals banner appears on the All and Habits tabs.
Habits only appear on days between their start date and end date. Archived habits don't appear.
Bookends
The wake-up and sleep rows frame your day. You can rename them (for example "Rise & Shine" and "Bedtime"), change their times or hide them in Customize under Schedule & Reminders.
If you give a habit or task a time outside these hours, the editor shows "Outside active hours" and may offer to move the bookend:
- For a habit before your wake-up time or after your sleep time, Adjust moves the wake-up time to 30 minutes before the habit, or the sleep time to 30 minutes after it.
- For a task after your sleep time, Adjust moves the sleep time for the current day only.
Grouping and hiding
Two options in Customize under View Options change the list:
- Time-Based Grouping splits the list into Morning (5 AM to noon), Afternoon (noon to 5 PM), Evening (5 PM to 10 PM) and Today (items without a time, or after 10 PM). Each group shows a count.
- Hide Completed Items removes finished habits and tasks from the list. Turn it off to see them again.
Completing things
- Habits: tap the checkbox to cycle through done, skipped and not done. See Habits.
- Tasks: tap the dashed checkbox to mark it done or not done.
You can't complete habits or tasks on a future date. Afternoon shows a Future Date message if you try.
When you complete something, a short banner appears at the top of the screen. You can turn these banners off in Customize under In-App Notifications.
View styles
The look of each habit row depends on the Habit View Style in Customize:
| Style | What you see |
|---|---|
| List | Checkbox, emoji, name and time. Tap to expand. |
| Badge | A seven-day strip around the selected day, so you can check off nearby days directly |
| Focus | A compact card with the emoji on the left and the checkbox on the right |
| Tracker | A compact card plus a heatmap of the whole year |
Tasks use the List layout in List and Badge styles, and the compact card in Focus and Tracker styles. See Customization.
