Tips & shortcuts
Hidden gems and power-user moves
A handful of things that are easy to miss but worth knowing about.
The long-press menu
Long-press any task tile (or list row) to open its quick menu. Logging itself is just a regular tap — the long-press menu is for everything else:
- Insights — opens the detailed heatmap and stats for that task
- Edit — change the name, color, icon, custom interval, or note prompt setting
- Move to Folder / Change Folder — put the task in a folder (or move it to a different one)
- Remove from Folder — only appears when the task is currently inside a folder
- Delete — removes the task and all of its activity logs
Apple Watch
LastDid has an Apple Watch companion app and complication so you can log activities right from your wrist. Install the watch app from the iOS Watch app, and add the complication to a watch face for one-tap access.
Home screen widgets
There's a home-screen widget that gives you quick access without opening the app. Long-press your home screen → tap the + → search "LastDid" to add it.
Spotlight search
Your tasks are indexed in iOS Spotlight. Swipe down on your home screen and start typing a task name — you'll see it as a search result and can jump straight into LastDid from there.
Deep links
LastDid responds to a few custom URL schemes, useful for Shortcuts or other apps that jump straight to a section:
lastdid://tasks— opens the Tasks tablastdid://history— opens the History tablastdid://settings— opens Settings
Replaying the tour
If you ever want to see the welcome tour again, it's at the top of the Help screen inside the app — "Replay the quick tour".
