Three shapes
The same marks appear everywhere, from lists to the Lock Screen and the watch.
| Mark | What it is |
|---|---|
| Rounded square | A routine. It can be started. |
| Ring | A run under way. The ring fills as it goes. |
| Plain disc | A run that has stopped, finished or not. |
Where they live
The Routines tab has three halves. Routines is what you have written down. Runs is what is going, planned or finished. Steps is every step of every going run in one list.
A run follows its routine
- Change the routine, and runs going now follow.
- Change a step inside a run, and only that run changes. A new name, a different length, a note or a value written there belongs to this run. It is marked orange and counted by the band at the top. See Keep or Only here.
- A run can have steps of its own. The plus on the run's page, then Step, adds one Now, Next or Last.
- A finished run keeps the routine it read. Delete the routine later, and old runs still show their steps. Again on one of them brings the routine back.
One at a time, or several
A routine runs one at a time unless you say otherwise. Pressing Start while a run of it is going offers:
- Start it again, which ends the run that is going and starts a new one.
- Add another one alongside, which keeps both. The routine runs several at a time from then on.
- Plan it for later…, for a day and a time.
The routine's Settings has Allow several at once.
A run with no routine
The plus in the middle of the tab bar, then Something new…, starts a run from just a name. Add steps as you go. At the end the band asks one question: whether it was worth keeping. Keep it as a routine… turns the run into a routine.
When something goes wrong
- A run shows the old wording after you edited the routine. That step was changed in the run itself, and the run's own version wins. Keep it, or change it back.
- Old runs still show a routine you deleted. On purpose: a run is the record. See Recently Deleted.
- Start it again ended a run you were in. It went to Cancelled with everything it collected. Find it under Runs and press Reopen.
