How do I use it?
Create a new event
Tapping the + button displays a form for you to enter your event's name, location, date and time, and some notes.
You can pick the category, and add an image to the event. Be sure to pick a beautiful image - it will look so much nicer!
Your events and your cover event
The list view shows all your events, and a preview of your cover event showing the countdown timer, and weather if you've enabled it.
Changing events
Swipe an event to the right to see buttons to edit the event, refresh weather, preview the event fullscreen, or set it as the cover event. Swipe to the left for the delete button.
Longpress an event to show a menu of options.
Opening & closing the cover event
When in list view, tapping the arrow at the top of the cover event displays it fullscreen. in fullscreen tap the arrow to close it.
On your iPhone and Apple Watch!
If you've got an Apple Watch it will show a configurable number of events from the list, and goregous complications will show any event you choose. Changes made on your iPhone will be sent to your Apple Watch without you having to do a thing!
Notifications will tell you when an event happens, on both your iPhone and Apple Watch - and they look stunning on the Apple Watch!
VERSION 6.0:
WHAT A TREAT! The main app has been rewritten from scratch - *absolutely everything* has been updated to have a more modern look, and there are many nice little features and designs. Take a look!Here's a sample of what's changed:
· The event editor and settings screens are beautiful. They. Are. Gorgeous!
· A much nicer map in the event editor, with a better way of setting manual coordinates; just enter a location and let the map load, then enable manual coords, move around the map, and tap somewhere to drop the pin.
· A vastly improved look for the iPad:
·· The app no longer requires the full screen, and works fully in Split View multitasking!
·· Your cover event is shown as a background. To see your list of events just tap the button in the top left (or use the hamburger menu). You can search, sort, delete, edit, etc. as usual in here.
· Weather is more reliable, and there's a much-improved weather screen:
·· A new way of seeing wind direction.
·· Tap the wind pane to switch between metres per second, kilometres per hour, and miles per hour.
·· Tap the temperature pane to switch between 'feels like' and actual temperatures.
·· Tap the pressure pane to switch between hPa, mbar, mmHg and inHg.
·· Tap the visibility pane to switch between metres, kilometres and miles.
·· Humidity now gives you a general idea of how it _might_ affect you.
· You can have multiple events with the same name.
· You can now duplicate an event, which should save you some time if you have similar events:
·· Hold down on an event in the list and choose "Duplicate". You'll see the event editor with all the details from the selected event, but without the image and name; you'll need to set those yourself.
· When you choose to add an event to your calendar it will have a link to open the event directly from the calendar entry.
· If you search in Spotlight you can now continue the search in the app.
· If you find your events aren't showing in Spotlight after installing the new version, there's a 'Rebuild' button in the Settings screen which will re-add indexable events.
· Improvements to the passcode entry screen:
·· It's now less confusing to update or remove authentication.
·· Your passcode is securely stored in your Keychain.
·· The time between entry attempts gets longer each time you fail, which should stop someone brute-forcing their way in to see how long you've had your cat :)
· Some accessibility features added, including differentiating without colour.
· More categories! Sailing, Cycling, Hiking, Studying, Gallery, Museum...
· Watch:
·· If you've added a complication to your Watch screen for a particular event and that event is later removed from the Watch - by changing the number of events sent, or archiving it and not sending archived events to the Watch, for example - you should still be able to tap it to view the event. It might take a few seconds to transfer the data, but it should then be displayed on your Watch.
· Widgets & Complications:
·· Widgets and compilcations should now be displayed correctly in the selection screens, rather than randomly showing the info for a different event.
·· Widgets on your macOS Sonoma desktop! I didn't do it; it comes free with macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 :)
·· The small widget is supported in StandBy mode on iOS 17 and the iPadOS 17 Lock Screen, so you can fall asleep knowing you've had your cat for 3 years, 9 weeks and 2 days. What a time to be alive!
Note:
· Sadly, it's highly likely that your Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets will be cleared. It wasn't possible to retain the link between a widget and its event. You just need to hold down on a widget and choose the right event again, and it'll work fine. They will work absolutely wonderfully going forward.
If you have any requests for new features or improvements, or have found a bug - however small - please get in touch!
