Quick input and keyboard shortcuts

On desktop, you can add events with just the keyboard. Inside the window, ⌘N takes you straight to the add field. Turn on quick add from the menu bar, and you can type a line with ⌃Space even while you're using another app. On Windows, press Ctrl instead of ⌘.

Write inside the window

  1. Step 1. Press ⌘N, type a line and press Enter

    Press ⌘N (Ctrl+N on Windows) and the cursor goes to the add field at the top of the screen. Type a line that mixes in a date and time, like ‘Tomorrow 7pm dinner’. The date and time it understood are highlighted, and the chip on the right of the field shows the day it goes on. Press Enter to save.

    In the planner, if you don't type a date, it goes on the day you're looking at. To put it in the Inbox, click the date chip on the right and clear the date. In calendar mode, the same field creates an event in your space. If you don't type an owner, it's your event. Type ‘Together’ or the other person's nickname to give it that owner.

    On the Day and Week screens in the planner, you can also drag the ＋ in front of the add field and drop it where you want in the list. A small add field opens at that spot.

Search and shortcuts

  1. Step 3. Search with ⌘K, and open the shortcut list with ⌘/

    Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to open the search window. Type two or more characters to see events, planner items and anniversaries. Pick one with ↑↓ and open it with Enter. If you pick ‘Create new item “…”’ at the top, it creates an item in today's planner with exactly what you typed.

    Press ⌘/ (Ctrl+/ on Windows) to see the list of shortcuts. These are the ones you'll use most.

Good to know

  • If another app is using ⌃Space, ‘Desktop’ in Settings shows ‘Another app is using ⌃Space’. DayRipple has no setting to change this shortcut, so change that app's shortcut instead.
  • On Mac, the app stays in the Dock when you close the window. On Windows, keep this switch on so the app stays in the notification area instead of quitting when you close the window.
  • Items you write from the menu bar also count toward the number you've created on desktop. If you've used up the free ones, the payment window opens in the main window.
  • The Windows app has no menu bar. Use the buttons on screen and the keyboard shortcuts.
