## What is Typeday?

Typeday is a typewriter-style planner. Things you do every day or every week, one-off events, and tasks that take a few days all line up neatly on one page. Checking something off feels like typing an [x].

■ FOUR PAGES
• Recurring: daily, weekly (on one or more days, like Tue and Fri), monthly (like the 15th, or the 2nd Wednesday), or every few days, weeks or months. Each routine knows when it’s due next, and a dotted strip shows the days it falls on over the next four weeks.
• Calendar: small marks show what’s on each day. Tap a day to see everything due and check it off right there.
• Upcoming: break big tasks with due dates into subtasks and check them off one step at a time.
• Pending: anything you missed collects here. Check it off late, or move just that one time to another day.

■ THE DETAILS
• Give an item a time and Typeday can set an alarm for it, which rings even in silent mode, just like the Clock app.
• Mark important items so they stand out in your lists.
• Color-coded categories. Add notes, links and checklists to anything.
• Five themes: Typewriter (monospaced type, ruled paper, bracket checkboxes), Candy (rounded cards, hand-drawn highlighter, bouncy checkboxes), Glass (a flowing gradient in colors you choose), Notebook (dot-grid paper, handwriting, bullet-journal marks) and Newspaper (a masthead, serif type, printed check boxes). Typewriter also comes in Kraft, Blueprint and Terminal; Candy in Sakura and Midnight. Light, dark, or match your iPhone.
• Optional Face ID or Touch ID lock.
• A one-minute interactive tutorial the first time you open it.
• On iPad, an unfolded iPhone Duo or a wide Mac window, the calendar stays on the left while you switch pages on the right. With a keyboard, press ⌘N to add and ⌘1–4 to switch pages.

■ YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
• No account, no ads, no tracking. We don’t run a server and can’t see your data.
• Auto Backup saves a copy every day to a folder you choose (we recommend iCloud Drive) and keeps the last 30. Delete the app or switch phones, and your data is still there.
• Export to JSON anytime, and restore from any backup file.

■ FULL VERSION (in-app purchase, one-time, no subscription)
• Home Screen widgets in large, medium and small sizes, plus three for the Lock Screen. Tap a day to open it.
• Lock Screen weekly wallpaper: with Shortcuts, this week’s calendar is swapped in every day, on top of your own photo if you like.
• Four more themes: Candy, Glass, Notebook and Newspaper.
• iCloud Sync: every change is backed up to your own iCloud right away, and your iPhone, iPad and Mac (Apple silicon) stay in sync with the same Apple Account. We can’t see your data.
Everything else is free, with no limit on how many items you add.

Typeday is available in English and Traditional Chinese.
