Using your companion, and adding it to your phone

A quick guide. It takes about a minute.

Your companion works in any web browser, on your phone or your computer. You can also add it to your phone so it opens straight from an icon, like any other app, and can gently remind you when you have asked it to. Adding it is optional, and everything works in the browser either way.

Using it in a browser

  1. Open the link we sent you. It is a good idea to bookmark it so it is easy to find again.
  2. Sign in with your email and a password. The first time, this creates your account.
  3. That is it. You can log your day, see your progress and read as usual, all in the browser.

Add it to an iPhone or iPad

On iPhone and iPad, Safari is the simplest way to do this. Chrome works too on up-to-date iPhones. Whichever you use, on-screen reminders only start working once the app has been added to the Home Screen.

  1. Open the app in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen. It is the square with an arrow pointing up.
  3. Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add in the top right corner.
  5. Open it from the new icon on your Home Screen whenever you need it.

Add it to an Android phone

  1. Open the app in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
  3. Tap Add to Home screen, or Install app if you see that instead.
  4. Tap Add or Install to confirm.
  5. Open it from the new icon on your home screen whenever you need it.

Add it on a computer

This works in Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

  1. Open the app in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Look for a small install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar (a little screen with a downward arrow). If you do not see it, open the browser menu and choose Install.
  3. Confirm, and from then on it opens in its own window, like an app.

Turning on reminders

If you would like a nudge at a time you choose, open the app from its new icon and, when it offers to send reminders, choose Allow. On iPhone this only becomes possible once the app is on your Home Screen. If you would rather not have reminders on your screen, they can come by email instead, and you can change your mind at any time.

If a screen looks out of date

If you have used the app before and something looks old after an update, fully close it and open it again from the icon. That loads the latest version.
