Step by step.

Add a widget to your Home Screen

With the “Today”, “To-dos” and “Notes” widgets you see your plan without opening the app. They work on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. New since version 1.2: with the “Focus Timer” widget you start Pomodoro or stopwatch right from your Home Screen.

How it works

1. Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
2. Tap “Edit” at the top, then “Add Widget”.
3. Choose iFocus Plus, then “Today”, “To-dos”, “Notes” or “Focus Timer”.
4. Tap “Add Widget” and move it to your favorite spot.

If a widget stays empty, open iFocus Plus once. If iOS still doesn’t refresh the view, remove the widget and add it again.

Start a focus session right from a task

One task, one timer, and off you go. Since version 1.0.1 you can start focus sessions directly from a task.

How it works

1. Pick the task you want to work on now.
2. Start the focus session directly from that task.
3. Work with Pomodoro or the stopwatch, whichever suits you.

Recurring tasks for your routines

Since version 1.0.1 tasks can repeat: every day, on selected weekdays or every month.

How it works

1. Create the task for your routine.
2. Choose how often it repeats: every day, on selected weekdays or every month.

Tip: since 1.0.1 you can turn dates and times in a task title into a schedule with a tap.

If iCloud doesn’t sync

Private iCloud sync is optional and uses your own iCloud storage, with no account with me.

How it works

1. In iFocus Plus, open “Data & Privacy”.
2. Check the status shown and tap “Sync Now”.
3. Also make sure iCloud is turned on on your device.

If a notification doesn’t appear

Usually it’s a setting you can check quickly.

How it works

1. In iOS or iPadOS Settings, check that notifications are allowed for iFocus Plus.
2. Check the date, time and notification option of the task or reminder.

Add a new habit

Since GemDot 1.1 it’s even quicker to reach.

How it works

1. Tap the round “+” next to the tab bar.
2. Create your habit.
3. From now on you track your progress as dots.

Your daily check-in

Check in briefly every day: how you feel and one word for the day.

How it works

1. Choose one of the 16 feelings for your daily engraving.
2. Add one word for the day.

There are also 8 more feelings^¹ plus your own feelings in your colors^¹.

See your statistics

Since 1.1 GemDot shows history, streaks, weekdays, time of day, habits, feelings, words and gems as charts.

How it works

1. Tap statistics at the top right.
2. See how your habits develop.

Settings are at the top right too.

Switch the interface

Facette, Geode and Mosaik show the same habits, dots and check-ins. Your data stays the same when you switch.

How it works

1. Choose the interface you like.
2. Switch at any time, your data stays as it is.

Facette is always included, plus Geode^¹ and Mosaik^¹.

GemDot on iPad

Since 1.1 GemDot runs natively on iPad.

How it works

1. Get GemDot on your iPad from the App Store.
2. Enjoy the big two-column layouts, in landscape too, with Split View and Stage Manager.

Without iCloud sync, your data stays on each device. You can optionally sync it between iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud^¹ – habits, dots, check-ins including the photo of the day, gems and more; your profile and settings stay local.

Log an expense in seconds

Just paid? Log it right away before you forget.

How it works

1. Tap the floating plus bubble.
2. Enter the amount and choose the category.
3. Save, done.

You can also do this via Siri, Shortcuts or the button in the widget.

Create a savings pot

With Savings Pots (new in 1.0.1) you save towards something specific.

How it works

1. Create a savings pot with your goal: an amount and, if you like, a date.
2. Kassio shows how much to set aside per month.
3. Add money with one tap or automatically with auto-save.

Put your remaining budget on screen

The Kassio widget shows your remaining budget and amount per day, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

How it works

1. Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
2. Tap “Edit” at the top, then “Add Widget”.
3. Choose Kassio, pick a size and tap “Add Widget”.

The button in the widget takes you straight to quick entry.

Keep subscriptions and fixed costs in check

Kassio books subscriptions and fixed costs automatically, from weekly to yearly.

How it works

1. Add your subscription or fixed cost with the right rhythm.
2. Get a reminder 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before the cancellation deadline.
3. In the Subscription Radar (new in 1.0.1) you see at a glance what costs you the most per year.

Take your data with you

Your data lives on your device – with iCloud sync^¹ also in your private iCloud. You can take it with you at any time.

How it works

1. Use the CSV export in Kassio.
2. Open the file in Numbers or Excel, for example – it opens cleanly there.
3. You can create a full backup in Kassio’s settings. You’ll find the file in the Files app afterward.
