FAQ

How do I keep my data before deleting the app or switching phones?

Open the menu at the top right (⋮) → Auto Backup and choose a folder in iCloud Drive. A backup file is saved there every day and the last 30 are kept, so your data survives deleting the app or switching phones.

How do I keep my iPhone, iPad and Mac in sync?

Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account on each device and install Typeday (on a Mac with Apple silicon, search for Typeday in the Mac App Store), then open ⋮ → iCloud Sync on each and turn it on. Changes you make on one appear on the other; the first time, both devices’ data is merged. iCloud Sync is part of the Full Version.

How do I restore from a backup?

In the new copy of Typeday, tap ⋮ → Import JSON and choose the latest file in your backup folder.

How do I add a widget?

Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen, tap Edit at the top left, then Add Widget, and search for Typeday. Choose Large, Medium or Small (there are also three for the Lock Screen). Widgets are a Full Version feature.

How do I set up the Lock Screen weekly wallpaper?

⋮ → Widgets has step-by-step Shortcuts instructions. Once it’s set up, this week’s calendar is swapped in every day. This is also a Full Version feature.

How do I change the theme or colors?

Open ⋮ → Theme. There are five themes: Typewriter, Candy, Glass, Notebook and Newspaper. Typewriter and Candy also have color options below the list (Terminal is always dark), and Glass lets you pick a background. Typewriter is free; the other four are part of the Full Version.

I bought the Full Version. How do I get it back on a new phone?

Sign in to the App Store with the same Apple Account, then open ⋮ → Full Version → Restore Purchases.

How do I lock the app with Face ID?

Turn it on in ⋮ → App Lock. You can also choose how long you can be away before it asks again (immediately, 1 minute or 5 minutes). If Face ID doesn’t recognize you, you can enter your iPhone passcode instead. App Lock protects only the app itself; widgets and the Lock Screen weekly wallpaper still show your items.

How do I see the tutorial again?

⋮ → Tutorial.

How do I switch the language?

Typeday follows your iPhone’s language. To change it for Typeday only, go to Settings → Apps → Typeday → Language.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Typeday has no accounts and no server. See the Privacy Policy.
