Turn the information you want to track into apps of your own. Start with an everyday scenario. Choose a ready-made template or create an app your way, then adjust what you want to record as your needs change. Build an app that fits the way you organize the things that matter to you. RECORD WHAT MATTERS TO YOU A book can include its title, author, and reading progress. A piece of clothing can include its color, size, and price. You decide what each record contains. Combine text, numbers, dates, ratings, progress, options, images, and audio. Add or remove fields as needed, and turn common answers into options to save time. Bring multiple pages together in one app. For example, use a Books page to manage your reading list and a Reading Notes page to save your thoughts. MAKE EVERY VIEW YOURS Browse in lists, grids, or large cards. Search, filter, sort, and favorite records to find what you need, or revisit them on a timeline. Save multiple views for each page. Customize card styles and choose which details to show, with separate filters and sort orders for each view. Use line charts to spot trends, bar charts to compare values, pie charts to see proportions, and heat maps to review patterns over time. Make spending, exercise, and study habits easier to understand. LINK YOUR DATA AND AUTOMATE YOUR WORKFLOWS Link reading notes to the books they’re about, or follow-up records to contacts, so related information is easy to find. Use formulas to calculate amounts, progress, or summaries, with less manual work. Build workflows that respond to the triggers you choose and automatically take action on data in your apps. TOOLS THAT EXPAND THE WAY YOU WORK Use plugins to extract details from bill or product screenshots, or scan items to help add them to your records. Preview the results and confirm them before saving. You can also import custom plugins to extend your workflows. Built-in tools help you record and review information. Use Focus Timer to plan study or work sessions, Calendar to keep a journal and organize tasks, and Relationship Graph to explore how your data connects. WORKS WITH FAMILIAR APPLE FEATURES • Widgets: See frequently used content, charts, and focus status. • Shortcuts: Add or read records, open Focus Timer, and run enabled automations. • Spotlight: Quickly find apps, tables, and records with system search. • Live Activities: Check Focus Timer progress on supported devices.
