What the list under the month shows.

Drop-down tucks the ask box away until you touch it, so the month shows first.

This is a demo. Every night the sample data is put back by itself. To do it now, press the button: everything anyone added or changed here is cleared.

This choice is fixed for this planner by whoever looks after it.

A safe copy of everything in this calendar, made every night. They stay on this server, in a folder only this app can reach. This is on unless you turn it off.

The last 30 days of what was said to the ask box, and what it understood. Only managers see this. It is switched on or off in this install's settings file.

Pick the colors. Everyone on this calendar sees the same ones.

Add the people who share this calendar, choose which calendars and shopping lists each can see, and what they may change. Only managers see this.

Saves your calendar as a file on this phone or computer. You can keep it safe, or open it in another calendar app. Nothing is changed or removed.

Use this if someone else is using this phone or computer. You will need your code to get back in.

1. Colored dots. When you share more than one calendar, each has its own color. The colored buttons above the month show or hide a calendar.
2. Choose where it goes. Say “Dinner Friday at 6 on the Family calendar,” or pick the calendar on the card before you press Yes.
3. Several shopping lists. Buttons above the shopping list switch between your lists. Managers can rename, add or delete lists with Edit lists beside them. Say “Add milk to the Groceries list.”
4. View only. A calendar or list marked view only can be looked at but not changed.
5. Your own sign-in. Everyone signs in with their own code or email and password, and has their own settings and reminders.

For managers: People and sharing

1. Three parts. People (one box each, with buttons to rename, add an email, set an easy code, send an invitation, or remove them), then Calendars and Shopping lists.
2. Sharing is done on the calendar or list. Each one has a card that shows everybody. Pick what each person can do with it: Not shared, Can look, Can add and change or In charge. To give two people the same calendar, set both on its card. To take something away, choose Not shared.
3. Where new things go. When someone can add to a calendar or list, a round button appears: …new appointments go here. That is where their new appointments or shopping items land when they do not pick one. Each person has one for calendars and one for lists.
4. Deleting. Delete is on the card. It has to be empty first. If someone’s new things were going there, they are moved to another one they can add to, and the screen tells you which.
5. What each person can use is shown in their own box, so you can check at a glance. To change it, use the cards.
6. The first calendar is the one from before there were people. It is named after the person who set things up, and you can rename it on its card.
7. Own calendar and list. If you tick Give them their own calendar and shopping list when adding a person, both are created right then, with that person In charge and set as the place their new things go.
8. No email? That is fine. Press Set code to give them an easy code, or Invite for a link to send yourself. Add email puts one on later.
9. Who sees what. Only managers see People and sharing. Everyone else sees just the calendars and lists shared with them. Press Add manager to let someone else do the same.
10. Removing a person signs them out everywhere at once. You can also delete their own empty calendar and list at that time.

1. Add things. Press Shopping, type in the box, and press Add. You can type several at once: “milk, eggs, bread.” Or say it in the ask box: “Add milk and eggs to my list.”
2. Find them fast. Things are sorted into store sections, like Produce and Dairy, so they are together in the aisle.
3. Check it off. Tap an item when it is in your cart. It moves to In the cart. Tapped by mistake? Tap it again.
4. Finish the trip. When you are done shopping, press Clear checked. Those items are put away.
5. Buy it regularly. Press the … button next to an item and choose how often, like Every 2 weeks. It will come back on the list by itself.
6. Take something off. Press … and choose Take off the list. Or say “Take milk off my list.”
7. Suggestions. After a few trips, I may say “You usually buy this every 2 weeks.” Press Yes to keep adding it, or Not now.
8. Take it with you. Press Email me this list on the Shopping screen. Or in the Reminders section below, choose to have the list in your morning email.

1. Where things are. Press Lists. The buttons under it are To do, Groceries, Pantry and Recipes.
2. Pantry. What you have at home. When you press Clear checked after a shopping trip, what you bought goes in. When something runs out, press We’re out and it goes back on your Groceries list.
3. Save a recipe. Press Recipes, then Save a new recipe, and type the name and the ingredients. Or say it: “Save a recipe for chicken soup: chicken, carrots, celery.”
4. Ask for a recipe. Say “Give me a recipe for chicken parmesan.” The assistant suggests one, with the ingredients and steps. Look it over, then press Save this recipe. It is a suggestion, not a tested recipe.
5. Add what you need. Open a recipe and press Add what I need. Only the ingredients that are not in your pantry go on your Groceries list. Add everything adds them all.
6. Save a recipe from a file or photo. Press Recipes, then Save a recipe from a file or photo, and pick a Word document, a PDF, a text file or a picture of a recipe card (on a phone you can take the picture right then). I read it and show you the title, the ingredients and the steps. Look them over, then press Save this recipe. The file itself is not kept.
7. Save a recipe from a web page. Press Recipes, then Save a recipe from a web page, and paste the address. Or paste the address into the ask box. I keep the ingredients and a link back to the page, and the steps stay on their site. A few sites will not let me read them; then you can type the ingredients yourself.
8. What can I make? Say it, or press the button on Recipes. It shows what you can cook right now, and what is only one or two things short.
9. To do. A plain list of things to get done. Tick one when it is done. Press Today on the ones for today, and they show on your welcome screen. Or say “Add call the plumber to my to do list.”
10. Needs. Press Needs on a to do to say what it needs from the store, like light bulbs. It checks your pantry, and whatever you are missing is put on your Groceries list for you. Or say it all at once: “Add change the light bulb to my to do list, I need light bulbs.”
11. Several lists (managers). When there is more than one shopping list, press Edit lists beside the list names to rename one, add one or take one away.

1. Backups. A safe copy of everything is made every night and kept on this server. Settings, Backups shows the last one and how many are kept. Back up now makes one this minute. You can also have a copy emailed to you once a month.
2. Updates. New versions come from one place and are checked for a signature before anything is changed. Under Settings, Updates you choose: By itself at night, Tell me first (a banner appears at the top, with Update now and Remind me tomorrow), or Not at all.
3. Safe by design. Before any update the planner makes a backup, keeps its old files, installs the new ones, and checks it still starts. If it does not, it puts the old files back by itself. Your calendar and lists are never part of an update.
4. Go back. After an update, Go back to the previous version in Settings, Updates restores the old files. Everything you saved stays.
