3. Lock Screen

   Touch and hold the Lock Screen → “Customize” → “Lock Screen” → the widget area → MyLife.

• Small: the next event or up to three tasks, plus the day’s progress.
• Medium: event and tasks on the left, habit rings and the daily budget on the right.
• Large: day timeline with a “now” line, tasks without a time, habits, budget and quick buttons “Expense”, “Task”, “Note” and the assistant. After 20:00, “Note” changes to “Review”.
• Extra large on iPad and Mac: day timeline, tasks and habits in three columns.
• Switches: “Events”, “Tasks”, “Habits”, “Budget”, “Quick buttons”, “Look ahead to tomorrow”.

• Tasks: the circle checks and unchecks the task. An overdue task is checked off for the day it was due.
• Yes/no habits toggle with a tap.
• Count habits up to 20 (times, sets, pages, glasses) get +1 per tap. Minutes, liters and goals above 20 open the app.
• Where it works: medium, large and extra large My Day (extra large is on iPad and Mac), and Pinned in any size on the Home Screen. In the small My Day, on the Lock Screen and in “Tomorrow” mode, a tap opens the app.
• How it reaches the server: the check shows in the widget right away and syncs when you open MyLife. XP is awarded once.

GoalHabit

Progress, deadline, upcoming tasks with check-offs. The large size shows stages.

Streak, ring and “+”. The large size adds a month of check-offs, the best streak and the percentage for the month.

• Six types: task, habit, goal, list, note, event.
• From the app: long-press an item → “Pin to widget”. If you have Pinned widgets in different sizes, you’ll be asked to pick a size.
• From the widget: “Edit Widget” → “Show”, with search. The last action wins.
• You can’t pin: a note inside a task, an archived list or an Apple Calendar event.
• A view-only shared list is shown without check-offs and without “+”.

• Pin: long-press → “Pin to Live Activity”. You can pin only one, and a new one replaces the old. “Remove from Live Activity” takes it off.
• Task: list, priority, time with a countdown and the first subtask, plus a “done” button.
• Habit: streak, “3 of 8”, the week. Yes/no habits can be checked off, count habits have a “+1” button, minutes and liters have “Enter”.
• Goal: percentage, stage, deadline and the next task.
• Event: a countdown to the start, then to the end with a bar, and a “Join” button for a call link.
• When it goes away: right away once done; once past or deleted, after the app updates the card. iOS also removes a Live Activity on its own after a few hours.

• Navigation: 4, 8 or all 15 buttons: nine sections and six “add” buttons. Pick the set and order in “Edit Widget”.
• Tasks: open tasks only, no check-offs, a tap opens the section. The medium size also shows tomorrow.
• Calendar: the rest of today, or today and tomorrow. On the Lock Screen, the widget shows the next event.
• Add Expense: keypad, account with arrows, four categories per page, “Save”. Requires iOS 17. The expense goes into your wallet when you open MyLife.
• Icon shortcuts: touch and hold the MyLife icon to see “Assistant”, “Task”, “Note”, “Expense”, “Event”, “Income”.

• 🔍

  Spotlight

  Search finds open tasks, lists, notes, active goals and habits. The index is cleared when the app is locked with Face ID or a passcode, and when you sign out.

• When they update: when you open or close MyLife, after a sync and after your edits. My Day and Calendar also move along with the clock: the countdown to an event, midnight.
• Edits from another device or the web app show up in the widget after you open MyLife here.
• A day without opening the app: My Day will ask you to open the app to load the new day.
• Accent color and font come from “Appearance”. Light or dark theme always follows the system, and the text size from “Appearance” doesn’t apply to widgets.
• On Mac, widgets turn semi-transparent when another app is active.
