Frequently asked questions

This Way Today is designed for children who benefit from a visual and predictable overview of their day. There is deliberately no strict age range: what matters most is whether the format is helpful and understandable for your child.

No. The first release works without accounts. Parents configure the app on the iPad and children use the child board.

No. You can start with a few activities for today. People & places, Look ahead, rules, savings goals and other features can be added later when they are useful.

Yes. An activity can be linked to a specific time or only to morning, afternoon or evening. Use exact times mainly when they genuinely help your child.

Yes. Use a Bundle for activities that often belong together. In the daily plan, individual activities can also be shown as a group or side by side when that works better visually.

Day view keeps today central and shows immediate context. Week view shows several days at once while still making today visually most important.

Yes. Holidays, school-free days, celebrations and other exceptions can be made visible so a different routine does not come as a surprise.

Yes. Under People & places, create for example Mum, Dad, Grandma, Babysitter or Camp. The Base week defines the normal rhythm and Week overview shows what ultimately applies each day.

You do not need to change the Base week. Add an Exception for one day, a period or an existing special period. After that, the Base week automatically continues.

Yes. Those are good examples for Who am I with? A person or place can be Grandma, Babysitter or Camp. For a camp week, you can reuse the same special period so the dates do not need to be maintained separately in two places.

Yes. Each child can have their own planning, Base week, Exceptions and preferences. You can quickly switch between children on the child board.

Not always. Items such as rules, savings goals, bundles, special days and look-ahead items can be assigned to one or more children where that makes sense.

At App Store launch, you can try the complete app for 7 days. After that, Full Access is €9.99 as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription for the first release.

Your local family and planning data is not deleted. Without Full Access, paid access is limited until Full Access is purchased or another valid entitlement is active.

The plan for App Store release is for the one-time Full Access purchase to support Apple Family Sharing. This shares purchase access within the Apple family; it does not automatically sync local planning data between devices.

Yes. The core app is local-first and remains usable without an internet connection.

In the first release, core data is stored locally on the device. Cloud sync and multi-device management are roadmap topics and are not part of the current local-first core.

No, that is not part of the analytics setup. We do not send child names, planning content, parent PINs, care schedules or similar family data as analytics properties.

Yes. Parent Management can export a backup of local app data and restore it later. The parent PIN is not included in the backup.

Because core data is stored locally, it may be lost when the app and its local storage are removed. Create a backup first if you want to preserve your data.
