Home screen settings & widgets

What is it?

Arrange the widgets you like on your Home screen and customize it freely. At first, five widgets are shown: "User," "Calendar," "Reminders," "Memories" and "Missions." From there, you can add, reorder and hide widgets as you like.

> This feature is only available in Custom mode. The Home screen in Default mode has a fixed layout, so you can't add widgets or change the background (you can only reorder the counselor's speech bubble, the cards for events and more, and "Top"). To use this feature, go to Settings → "App & System" → "Home Screen Mode" and switch to "Custom" (see "Home screen mode").

Enter edit mode

• Scroll to the bottom of the Home screen to find the "Home Screen Settings" button. Tap it to enter edit mode.
• You can only edit your own Home screen. Your partner sets up their own.

Apply a template

• Tap "Apply Template" at the top left in edit mode to choose between two templates: "Default" and "Simple."
• Default: Goes back to the original layout (User, Calendar, Reminders, Memories and Missions).
• Simple: Switches to a layout with less information (User, 3-day schedule, Reminders, Upcoming Anniversaries, and a page list). The "Pages" section at the bottom shows all your threads and lists that aren't archived. Widget backgrounds also switch to a calm dark color, and your Home character stays in the bottom left instead of walking around. Note: "Simple" here is the name of a widget template in Custom mode. It's different from the "Default" and "Custom" Home screen modes.
• Applying a template replaces your current widget layout and theme (you'll be asked to confirm first). After applying it, you can still add, reorder and change widget settings freely.

Add widgets

• Tap "+ Add Widget" at the top right in edit mode to see the widgets you can add. You can add the same widget more than once.
• Tap a widget type to select it (tapping alone doesn't add it), check its settings, then tap "OK" to add it.
• Use the "Reset to Default" button at the top of the add widget screen to go back to the original layout.
• There are 14 widgets in all.
• User: Shows your icons, moods, status updates, period days and more in one card. You can turn each item on or off. We recommend always keeping this one on your Home screen.
• Calendar: Shows today's events, to-dos, anniversaries, memories and condition together (memories are hidden at first; turn them on in the widget's settings). Switch between "Weekly calendar" and "3-day schedule" (today, tomorrow and the day after, side by side). In the 3-day view, tap a date to open that day's details.
• Anniversaries: Counts down to the anniversaries you choose (you can choose several), with the nearest one first. Switch between "Stacked" and "Horizontal scroll" (a compact single row).
• Anniversary (single): Shows one anniversary in large type. Switch between counting down and counting up.
• Upcoming Anniversaries: Shows countdowns to anniversaries coming up soon. You don't need to choose any: your saved anniversaries are listed automatically, nearest first. Yearly anniversaries appear from 1 month before, and monthly anniversaries from 2 weeks before. Switch between "Stacked" and "Horizontal scroll" (a compact single row).
• Reminders: Lists reminders that have "Show on widget" turned on. Switch between "Stacked" and "Horizontal scroll."
• Period Tracker: Shows when your next period is expected and how your condition may change with your cycle. It can show your partner's condition too.
• Memories: Shows one random memory or photo. Under "Content to Show," choose "Memories only," "Memories and items" or "Items only," so you can show just photos even if you don't have many memories yet. Switch between "Wide" and "Square." You can also set a fallback background image.
• Shortcuts: Line up the threads, lists and Wiki pages you use most. You can change the header icon and title too.
• Thread: Puts a thread of your choice right on your Home screen. Turn on "Show unread messages only" to show only unread messages, or turn it off to show the latest 10.
• List: Shows what's in a specific list. You can show or hide completed tasks.
• Memo: Shows a specific memo. Choose "Scroll" (keeps the widget short and scrolls inside it) or "Full text."
• Data: Shows a specific data page. You can also choose "Scroll" or "Full text."
• Missions: Shows missions you haven't completed yet. Choose "Scroll" or "Show all." When you've completed them all, it says "All missions completed." Your streak progress is shown at the top right.

Reorder, set up or hide widgets

• Press and hold a widget to open its menu. In edit mode, the menu also opens when you tap a widget or its "..." menu button.
• Move Up / Move Down: Changes the order.
• Widget Settings: Changes each widget's detailed settings (items to show, which data to show, scroll or full text, and so on).
• Hide Widget: Removes that widget (you can bring it back later with "Add Widget").

Change the Home background

• Tap the "Background" button at the top left in edit mode to change your Home screen background.
• Choose a Background Color: Pick any solid color from the color palette as your background.
• Choose from Backgrounds: Switch to a background you got in the store.
• Upload: Upload an image and set it as your background.
• Random from Memories: Shows a random image uploaded to your memories.

Change the theme

• Change the color of your Home screen widgets, the text color of widget headings, and the font.
• Widget Background Color: Choose one of the ready-made themes, or tap "Custom" at the far right to pick any color, blur and transparency you like.
• Widget Heading Color: Change the color of some of the text in widgets, for example if the text became hard to read after you changed the widget color.
• Change Font: Change the font (typeface). The app restarts when you change the font.
