Reporting a bug

The three things that make a bug fixable fastest:

  1. What you tapped, and what happened instead of what you expected.
  2. A screenshot, if the problem is visible.
  3. Your iOS version and iPhone model (Settings → General → About).

Getting started

How Daily Blocks is put together

There are three layers, and they build on each other:

Build a routine once, schedule it, and Today runs it for you.

Nothing shows up on Today

Today only runs a routine that is scheduled for the current weekday. Open Build → Routines, choose your routine, and check the weekday chips at the top. You can also assign a routine for just today from the Today screen.

Running your day

Today comes in two modes, switchable in Settings → Appearance:

If you prefer buttons to swiping, that is also an Appearance setting.

Common questions

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything is cached on your device, so the app opens and runs with no connection. Changes you make offline sync the next time you are online.

Why did my streak reset?

The streak counts completed tasks in a row, not days. Skipping a task resets it. Tasks left pending on a past day are automatically marked skipped, which is the usual reason a streak ends overnight.

Apple Health is not completing my task

Three things have to be true: Health access is granted (iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Daily Blocks), the integration is on in Daily Blocks' settings, and the specific task is opted in from its editor. Matching happens on the task's name, so a task called "Meditate" matches a mindfulness session, and "Run" matches a run.

How do I get my data out?

Settings → Account → Export Data.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all your routines and history, and cannot be undone. Export first if you want a copy.

Will I lose my routines if I get a new phone?

No. Sign in with the same account and everything comes back.

Privacy

Short version: your data is yours, we do not sell it, and there are no ads. The full privacy policy spells out exactly what is collected and why.

Feature requests

Genuinely welcome, a lot of what is in the app came from someone asking. Email the same address and say what you were trying to do when the app got in your way.
