Promises

A Promise is something you plan to do, either once or on a repeating schedule—like going to an appointment or reading every day. Add a reminder or an alarm whenever you need a nudge, and build your routine one Promise at a time.

Create a Promise

Start from a suggestion

1. On the Promise tab, tap + in the top-right corner.
2. Choose something you'd like to do from the suggestions.
3. Review Time of day and Repeat, adjust them if needed, then tap Save.

Create a custom Promise

1. Tap +, then tap ….
2. Tap the Promise icon to choose the icon you like.
3. Set the Name, Date, Time of day, and Repeat. For Weekly, select the days you want.
4. To add a reminder, turn on Remind me, choose a time, and allow notifications when prompted.
5. To add an alarm, turn on Alarm and allow access when prompted. Then tap Sound to choose an alarm sound.
6. Tap Save.

Note: Alarms require iOS 26 or later. On earlier versions of iOS, you can still use reminders.

Complete a Promise

Tap the checkmark on the right side of a Promise to mark it as complete.

To undo a completion or log one for a past day, see Log or undo a completion.

Edit a Promise

You can edit a Promise in either of these ways:

• Tap the Promise: Tap a Promise to open its details, tap Edit, make your changes, then tap Save.
• Swipe left: Swipe left on a Promise, tap Edit, make your changes, then tap Save.

Note: Editing a Promise only changes its current settings. Your past completion records stay the same.

Delete a Promise

You can delete a Promise in either of these ways:

• Tap the Promise: Tap a Promise to open its details, tap Delete, then confirm.
• Swipe left: Swipe left on a Promise, tap More, tap Delete, then confirm.

Note: Deleting a repeating Promise stops all future occurrences and removes its reminders and alarms. Past completion records are kept, but you can no longer log or undo completions for that Promise.
