Modules and layout

Today, Capture, Notes, Tasks, and Calendar are the core of Kept and always present. Habits is in a new account's menu and on by default. Body is paused in Kept 1.8.6.

Habits in the menu

A new account's menu lists Today, Notes, Tasks, Calendar, and Habits. Habits is on by default.

• Habits stays in the menu while you have a habit that is not archived, including one you made during setup or one an assistant made for you.

That holds for every account, new or not. Updating Kept shows Habits for anyone who has not hidden it. Body does not appear for any account while it is paused, including accounts with saved Body choices or health history.

Kept keeps Habits on across cold launches for a layout the person did not customize, so the menu row never opens an off page. A person who explicitly switched Habits off keeps that choice, and Kept keeps the habit data either way.

To hide Habits, open Settings → Menu on iPhone and switch Habits off. Hiding never deletes habits or turns the module off. Your choice belongs to your account. Body's prior menu and sidebar choices remain saved, but its switches and App Layout row are hidden until Body returns.

There are no greyed-out rows. A place is in the menu or it is not.

Body

Body is not offered during setup and does not appear in navigation, Settings, App Layout, Capture, the Mac Go menu, or the Mac command palette. Links and older open-style shortcuts for Body or the meal camera land on Today. Automatic Apple Health reading does not start while Body is paused.

Meals, workouts, sleep records, health settings, module preferences, and layout configuration remain stored exactly as they were. Turning the product switch back on restores each person's saved choices.

Habits

Settings → Habits on Today shows or hides your habit rows on the Today screen on this iPhone. Off, the Habits page still keeps everything, the Habits widget still works, and Siri still checks habits off. Only Today gets quieter.

With no habits yet, the Habits block on Today is an invitation to add one. Hide every day in the block menu hides it across your devices, and Show every day in Today note settings brings it back. A toast confirms the change and offers Undo.

If the Habits module itself is off, Today note settings shows its Habits switch off and unavailable. Turn the module on before choosing whether its block appears every day.

If you used habits on Today before 1.4 moved them to the day view, the first time you reach for a habit while Habits is off, Kept shows Habits moved off Today once, to say where they went. A newer account never sees it; reaching for a habit there opens the Habits page, which offers Turn on Habits.

Sidebar rows on MacMac

Settings → Sidebar can tuck the Calendar row away on this Mac. Body's switch and row are hidden while the module is paused. ⌘1 through ⌘5 follow the Go menu: Today, Calendar, Notes, Goals, and Tasks.

Today layout on MacMac

Top 3 cards, Quick wins, Habits, and the daily note share one page. Open a block's ⋯ menu for Hide for today, Hide every day, and Today note settings…. These choices follow your account across iPhone and Mac.

When Calendar beside note is on and the window is wide enough, Today shows a day column beside the page. Its date header, hour and half-hour grid, live time line, and calendar-colored events move with the day while the scrollbar stays out of the way. Open a Top 3 card and the suggested time appears there as a dashed block. Earlier and Later move it; Add to calendar replaces the suggestion with the event.

Task properties

Settings → Task properties on iPhone, or the Show menu in the Mac inspector, chooses which details a task displays: Priority, Due, Area, Goal, Estimate, Reminder, Not today, Labels, and Created. Device-local.
