Time Since quick reference

Time Since helps you keep track of events — singular or recurring — and shows you how long it has been 'since', on the main screen.

Working with events

To add a new kind of event, tap the Plus Button button on the front screen. You will be taken to the Edit event screen, where you can enter a name for the event. Hit Done Button to go to a screen where you can enter the date and time of the event. On this screen you can also enter notes about the event or a number that you would like to track. Hit Done Button to return to the main screen.

To add another occurrence of the same event, tap on its name on the main screen.

To review past occurrences of the event, tap on the right side of its row on the main screen, where the Time Since is shown. This will take you to the History screen. Tap on any occurrence to see its date and time and any additional notes you have made. (When you are on the History screen, you can also add occurrences using the Plus Button button or edit the event's properties using Edit Event Button.)

Reminders

To have Time Since remind you when it has been a while since something happened, you can set a reminder time on the Edit event screen. When the appropriate time has passed, the event's name will be highlighted in red on the main screen.

Time display units

Time Since usually changes the unit it uses to display times based on how long it's been since an event, going from minutes to days to weeks and months and so forth. You can tell Time Since to always use a certain unit (for example, to keep track of how many days it has been since something happened) on the Edit event screen.

Exporting data

To export your data for backup, charting, or use in another program, tap "Export data with Mail" on the Info screen. The data will be sent to you in a tab-separated format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete an event?

You can delete an event using the "Edit" button at the bottom of the screen. Tapping this button shows red deletion circles on each row. To delete only one occurrence of an event, use the "Edit" button on the History screen; to delete an entire kind of event, use the "Edit" button on the main screen.

(Shortcut: to delete just one event or occurrence, swipe through the row with your finger. You will be offered the opportunity to confirm whether you want to delete the row or not.)
