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. |
Which page you are on
A routine and each of its steps has a page, and so does a run and each of its steps. Every page says what it is, in bold, under its name: Routine, Run or Step. A step's page says whose step it is on the row directly below, with that routine's or that run's own mark. Tap the name to see what the marks beside it mean.
- A run's page opens with its name and what it is for, a row to its routine, and the card of the step in hand with Next, Not now… and Again. Under that is every step it is walking. The tabs at the foot of the page switch to Now, the step in hand on the whole screen with its clock, big enough to read across the room, and to what the run holds and how it is set up. A routine's page is built the same way, with its steps and no step in hand.
- A step's page says where the step stands, such as In hand, Done or Still to come. The rows under its name open the run, or the routine, at this step.
- Press and hold any routine, run, step or row of More to see what it holds before opening it.
Where they live
Five places in the bar at the foot. Routines is what you have written down. Runs is what is going, planned or finished. Steps is the step in hand of every going run in one list; The steps coming up too, at its foot, adds the rest. Tap a step to open its page, or press and hold it for Next and Not now. More holds Triggers, Data, History and the settings. The app's mark in the middle is In hand: everything waiting on you, with a count on it while something does. The bar slides away while you scroll down a list and comes back when you scroll up; More › Appearance turns that off.
Press Steps while a run is open and that run's step in hand is lit for a moment. Press Routines there and its routine opens.
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 value the step's name quotes is different: it is filled in where the name is shown, and changes nothing about the step. See Values in a step's name.
- 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 on Runs, then Run 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.
