Available. Nothing needs to be decided in advance.
Rest precedes activity. Nothing needs to be achieved here.
These times stay out of the weekly view. They simply give the rhythm practical boundaries when it is carried into your calendar.
Gaps between the periods remain unassigned rather than becoming extra blocks.
A backup is a single file with everything you've marked — your Principal Intentions, daypart times, and every week you've held. Keep it somewhere safe, or bring one back if you're moving to a new device.
Choose which parts of the rhythm to carry into your calendar. All are selected by default.
Choose what to include in your journal export.
Weekly Rhythm is a contemplative app for shaping and reflecting on the pattern of a week, built around the conviction that time is received before it is managed. Rather than tracking tasks, it helps you notice the shape your week actually takes.
No. It doesn't treat time as a currency to spend or a commodity to use — it helps you receive and respond to time rather than manage it. There's no task list at its centre; the focus is the visual pattern of your week.
Each day begins with Night rather than activity, echoing the pattern where evening precedes morning. Rest isn't the reward at the end of effort — it's the ground the day grows from.
Nothing in the week is initiated by you; everything is a response to what's already been given. Grace and rest are both received, not earned.
A principal intention is the main intention you bring into a period of otherwise Open time. Ministry, Study and Reflection are the current three. The intention gives some shape to how you enter the time without claiming everything that may happen within it.
Open is the ordinary condition of waking time: available without a prospective intention. It is not a gap to fill. Afterwards, you may add a reflection about what emerged there.
The clock times exist mainly so the shape of the week can be exported usefully to a calendar. Principal Intentions and Open periods both appear there: Open remains visibly unassigned rather than disappearing. Weekly Rhythm still works with broad parts of the day rather than detailed scheduling: Night 22:00–06:00, Morning 09:00–13:00, Afternoon 14:00–18:00 and Evening 19:00–22:00. The spaces between them remain unassigned.
Set Apart marks time held differently from the ordinary rhythm altogether — a retreat day, a period of rest — rather than another principal intention competing for space.
Start with rest, not tasks. Mark only the Principal Intentions that genuinely need space, and leave the rest Open enough to respond to the unpredictability of life.
No — it was built for people who find high-maintenance tools exhausting. It reflects a pattern rather than tracking a checklist that needs constant revision.
The story behind Weekly Rhythm is on the Given for Wonder About page.
The ordinary pattern will rest for these days. You can return them to the ordinary rhythm whenever you wish.
The ordinary rhythm will rest for this day. Its waking periods will remain outside the week’s Principal Intentions.
