Desktop app FAQ

No. The Mac app is made only for Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later). The Mac App Store app needs macOS 12 or later.

It means the account you signed in with doesn't have any space. As it is, what you write isn't saved. Open DayRipple on your phone, create a space or join one you were invited to, then open the app again. On desktop, you can also create one by clicking Create new space under Switch space in Settings › Calendar mode.

If you see this even though you have a space on your phone, you signed in with a different account. Click Sign out in Settings › Account, then sign in again with the account you use on your phone.

That's how it works. When you finish signing in in the browser, a ‘Signed in to DayRipple’ page appears. Close that window and come back to the app, and you're signed in. If a ‘Couldn't sign in to DayRipple’ page appears, go back to the app and click the button again.

The desktop app has no field for an invite code. Join with the code or link in the phone app, then open the desktop app, and that space appears in the ‘Spaces’ list in the calendar mode sidebar.

Inviting someone to your space works on desktop too. In Settings › Calendar mode, click ‘Show code’ under ‘Invite’, then copy the link with ‘Copy invite link’ and send it.

On Mac, the app stays in the Dock when you close the window. To quit it completely, press ⌘Q.

On Windows, closing the window quits the app. Turn on ‘Stay in the notification area when the window is closed’ in Settings › ‘Desktop’, and it stays in the notification area. Right-click the icon and choose ‘Open DayRipple’ to open the window again.

Turn on ‘Open automatically at login’ in Settings › ‘Desktop’. If your Mac blocks it, open System Settings with ‘Open Login Items’ in the first-launch guide and allow it.

The Windows app from the Microsoft Store doesn't have this switch yet.

In Settings › Theme, pick a bigger value under Text size, like Large. Fields and buttons get bigger in the same proportion as the text.

First, check that the ‘Allow notifications’ row in Settings › Notifications shows ‘On ✓’. If it shows ‘Open System Settings ↗’, click it and allow DayRipple in your Mac (or Windows) notification settings.

Desktop notifications arrive only while the app is running. Unlike on your phone, nothing arrives while the app is closed. The same goes for the morning briefing, anniversary and member activity notifications.

Yes. What you write is saved on this computer first and uploaded automatically once you're back online. Anything not uploaded yet shows as a number at the right of the title bar. Click it to see what's waiting.

No. Widgets are only available in the iPhone and Android apps.
