Support — Notics

Getting started

From TestFlight install to a planned day.

Join the public beta through TestFlight. Notics uses the calendars and reminder lists already on your iPhone, and first launch walks you through permissions and a few preferences.

1Join the betaOpen the public TestFlight link, install Notics, then launch it from your iPhone.
2Open & allow accessGrant Calendar and Reminders access so Notics can read and edit what's already on your device.
3Run Quick StartChoose first day of the week, accent weekdays, and gesture sensitivity.
4Pick a theme and widgetsSelect a theme, switch the app icon, then add Today, Today Agenda, or Month from the home screen.

Permissions

What each permission is for.

Notics only asks for what the app actually uses. Everything runs on-device — no data is sent to a server.

No data leaves your device

Notics has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Permissions are used only to show and update the calendar and reminders you already have.

Calendar (full access)Shows, creates, edits, and deletes events across the iCloud, Google, Outlook, and Exchange calendars configured in iOS Settings.

RemindersPowers reminder rows in the agenda, the undated reminder inbox, completion, and scheduling.

NotificationsDelivers the optional daily digest. Alerts are scheduled locally by iOS, not pushed from a server.

Widgets (app group)The widget extension reads shared appearance settings so widgets match the active theme.

Notifications & digest

A local digest, on your schedule.

The daily digest is a single local notification that summarizes the day ahead. You choose the window and the sound.

Set the digest windowPick a time — for example 8:00 AM — for your daily summary to appear.

Choose a soundSelect from the alert sounds bundled with the app, or keep it silent.

Enable in SettingsNotifications → Daily Digest. iOS must allow notifications for Notics.

Fully localThe digest is scheduled by your device. No server, no network call, no tracking.

Widgets & themes

Match the home screen to the app.

Widgets read the shared Notics appearance, and every theme ships with a matching alternate app icon.

Add a widgetLong-press the home screen, tap +, search Notics, and choose Today, Today Agenda, or Month.

Switch themeOpen Notics → Appearance. Widgets update to match automatically.

Change the app iconAppearance → App Icon. Each theme has a paired alternate icon.

Adaptive light/darkThemes can follow the system or stay locked to your preference.

Troubleshooting

Common issues, simple fixes.

If something isn't working, the answer is usually a permission or a system setting.

My calendar events aren't showing.

Open iOS Settings → Apps → Notics and confirm Calendar access is set to Full Access. Then pull to refresh the month view. If a specific calendar is missing, check iOS Settings → Calendar → Accounts to make sure that account is enabled.

My reminders are missing or incomplete.

Confirm Reminders permission is granted. Notics shows reminders from the lists configured in iOS. Undated reminders live in the Reminder Inbox tab, not on the month grid.

The daily digest isn't firing.

Make sure notifications are allowed for Notics (iOS Settings → Notifications → Notics) and that the digest window is set in Notics → Notifications. Focus modes can also suppress alerts — add Notics to allowed apps if needed.

My widget isn't updating or looks wrong.

Widgets refresh on a system schedule. If the theme looks wrong, open Notics → Appearance and reselect the theme so the shared setting is rewritten. Re-adding the widget also forces a refresh.

Events I create don't sync to iCloud or Google.

Notics writes through EventKit to the calendar you pick in the editor. Check that the target calendar belongs to an account enabled in iOS Settings → Calendar → Accounts. Sync then happens through iOS as normal.

The app feels slow or gestures are too sensitive.

Go to Notics → Gestures to tune swipe sensitivity, horizontal day-swipe distance, and agenda expansion. Re-run Quick Start anytime to reset the defaults.

Notics won't open or crashes on launch.

Make sure you're on iOS 26.5 or newer. If it persists, restart the device, then reinstall. If you can reproduce it, send us a report with the steps and your iOS version.

Can I use Notics on iPad and Mac?

Yes. Notics adapts its layout for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Apple silicon). Widget families are available on all three where WidgetKit is supported.
