From an easy first start to keeping your memories for years. Here are some things worth knowing.
A few useful answers
How do I start and finish an activity?
In Now (现在), tap a familiar activity to start with its saved settings. For something new, choose 开始一件事, enter a name and select an illustration and timer mode. Each activity can be paused, resumed or finished independently. Finishing asks for confirmation.
What happens when a countdown ends?
The app requests a reminder using the permissions and system features available. If you do not finish manually, time beyond the deadline continues to be recorded. System alarms require iOS 26 or later and permission. Earlier versions use local notifications, subject to silent mode, Focus and notification settings.
How do I add notes, photos and videos?
Use 记一句 or the media entry on an active activity without ending its timer. The 落笔 entry at the bottom of Pages adds records too. The system photo picker allows up to ten selected items at a time, each up to 100 MB. Imported media is copied into the local book. There is no built-in camera.
Can I edit or delete a record?
Open a note in Pages to edit it again. A time record’s details let you adjust its start and end. Deleted records go to 我的 → 废纸篓, where you can restore them or confirm permanent removal.
How does a sleep plan work?
Choose 计划计时, a target wake-up time and a sleep duration. The app works backward to find the bedtime reminder. Confirm your actual start to begin the countdown. You can attach your own links or shortcuts to start and finish actions; running a shortcut may switch to the Shortcuts app. Cross-device Focus sharing requires your own system setup.
What if the lock-screen card is missing?
Check that a timer is active and that Live Activities are allowed for LifePages. You can try recreating the display in 我的 → 提醒与铃声. The system limits display duration and may remove a card because of resource limits or user actions. A missing card does not automatically end a saved timer.
How should I back up before changing devices?
Open 我的 → 数据与备份, create a complete backup and save it somewhere safe using the system share sheet. The file contains records, notes and media. Restoring replaces the current book, so back up its contents first. There is no automatic cloud sync; uninstalling or losing the device can remove records that you have not saved elsewhere.
