My scheduled activity didn't show up today: what to check

1. Is today's weekday ticked?

Each scheduled time runs on the weekdays you ticked, nothing else. Open the Plan tab, tap the activity and look at its times under Recurring. If today is Thursday and the time runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the activity is simply not planned today.

With several times on one activity, check each one: a weekend time and a weekday time each have their own days. If the days were set wrong by mistake, see activity on the wrong weekdays.

2. Is today inside the active period?

A scheduled time can have an active period with a From and an Until date. Outside those dates it does not appear at all:

• From is in the future. You set it up to start next Monday, so it will appear then.
• Until has passed. A two-week plan ended yesterday, so today is empty. That is the active period working as intended; see stop a treatment automatically after two weeks.

Both dates are included, so a time with Until set to today still shows today.

3. Was it planned for a single date instead?

Single dates are listed separately from weekly times, under Single day. If you meant to plan the dentist today but the date says tomorrow, today stays empty. Check the date and fix it if needed. Single dates more than 30 days in the past are removed when you save the schedule.

4. Are you looking at the right routine?

The calendar shows one routine at a time: the one selected in the pills above it. If the activity lives in your "Evening" routine and "Morning" is selected, it will not appear. Tap the other routine. More in several routines at once.

5. Is another activity highlighted?

Tapping an activity tile above the calendar highlights that activity: its dots get bigger and move to the front in the Month view, and its entries get a bolder colored frame in the Week and Day views. Other activities stay on the calendar, but next to a highlighted one they are easier to overlook. Tap the selected tile again to clear the highlight.

6. Was the activity archived, or already logged?

An archived activity leaves the tiles and its planned entries are no longer drawn, even though its schedule is kept. Unarchive it from the routine's archived list to bring it back.

And if the activity was logged today already, it is there, just not faded: a logged entry shows in full color instead of the faded planned one. If you logged it on another phone, it shows here too once synced.

If none of these fit

Schedules need Premium to create and edit, and the app needs an internet connection to load your data. If you have checked everything above, close and reopen the app with a connection, then look again. If it still does not show, write to support with the activity name and what its schedule says. The full set of schedule options is on the scheduling page.
