Your day
Blank days and updated lists
Twos keeps your day history tidy on its own. There is a button for the rare blank day it misses, and one setting for showing updated lists on your days.
Why you'd care
Two kinds of clutter can build up: days you opened but never wrote on, and lists surfacing on days where you do not want them. The first mostly takes care of itself. The second is up to you.
Clean up blank past days
A day gets created when you open it, so browsing around could leave empty days behind. Twos cleans those up automatically as you move between days, so there is nothing to turn on.
Occasionally a blank day slips through. Settings Lists & things Clean up blank past days is a one-time button for those. It asks you to confirm, then hides every past day with no things on it. It only touches genuinely empty days in the past, and never today or the future. Run it whenever you notice empty days in Days view.
Recently updated lists on days
Days can show the lists you touched that day, underneath your things. It gives a day a fuller sense of what you were working on, at the cost of a longer day.
It is off by default, which is the right default for most people. Turn it on in Settings Appearance & accessibility Show updated lists on days.
Settings that change this
- Settings Lists & things Clean up blank past days hides any empty past days the automatic cleanup missed.
- Settings Appearance & accessibility Show updated lists on days shows lists you edited on the day.
Tips
- You do not need to do anything about blank days. Only press the cleanup button if you spot empty days that stuck around. It is safe, since a day with no things on it holds nothing.
- If your days feel long, updated lists is usually the setting responsible.
If it's not working
Empty days are showing up in Days view. The automatic cleanup missed them. Press Settings Lists & things Clean up blank past days to hide them.
A day I wrote on disappeared. Cleanup only removes days with no things. If a day vanished with content, look in trash rather than assuming cleanup took it.
My days are suddenly much longer. Updated lists is on.
