An intention is a quiet goal you set for yourself: a few sessions a week, a little reading every day, a number of books this year. It’s entirely up to you. Until you set one, there’s nothing to keep up with.
Set an intention
- Tap the user icon at the top right of Home to open Settings.
- Tap Intentions.
- Tap Set an intention, or + if you already have one going.
- Under What would you like to make room for?, choose a kind of intention, such as Sessions per week or Daily reading.
- Choose a number, or tap Custom to type your own.
- Tap Set this intention.
Until you’ve set your first one, Home also shows a Set your intentions card that starts the same steps.
Watch it grow
Progress comes from the reading you already record, the books you finish and the sessions you time or log, so there’s nothing extra to enter. It’s drawn as a vine that gains a leaf as you go. Open an intention and look under What counts to see the books and sessions behind the number.
Let one go
Open the intention, tap the ⋯ menu and choose Let Go. As Kiveo puts it: Your reading still counts. Finished and let-go intentions rest under Past, where Clear sweeps them away. Your books and reading stay just as they are.
Good to know
You can have up to five intentions at once, and one of each kind. Weekly and monthly intentions begin again with each week or month. A daily-reading intention counts from the day you set it. Intentions sync over iCloud, and they’re included when you back up your data.
