Organize your boards and futures

A board groups futures for a shared purpose.

A board groups futures for a shared purpose. All Futures holds your saved futures, including ones that are not on a board.

The same future can belong to more than one board. Editing that future changes the shared item. Deleting it is different from taking it off one board.

Find your futures

1. Open Boards.
2. Tap All Futures.
3. Choose All Futures to see everything, or Not in a Board to find futures without a board.
4. Tap a future to open it.

Opening a future from All Futures does not start playback automatically.

Filter your futures

1. Open Boards > All Futures.
2. Tap the filter icon, shown as lines in a circle.
3. Choose a board, a Daily Ritual status, or a Voice status.
4. Tap Done.

Has Audio finds futures with a voice clip. Needs Audio finds ones without one. In Ritual and Not in Ritual refer to your daily practice selection.

If no futures appear, reopen the filter and choose All in the relevant sections.

Add futures to a board

1. Open the destination board.
2. Tap +, or Add Futures on an empty board.
3. Tap Add from library.
4. Select the futures you want.
5. Tap the Add button, which includes your selected count.

Only futures you can add are shown. If the option is absent, there may be no other saved futures to add.

Put a future on more than one board

A future can belong to several boards. In the Add to Boards picker, changes happen when you tap a board.

• An empty circle means the future is not on that board. Tap it to add the future.
• A checkmark means it is already there. Tap it to remove the future from that board.
• With several futures selected, a minus means only some are already there. Tap it to add the missing ones. A checkmark means all are there, so tapping removes all the selected futures from that board.

1. Open Boards > All Futures.
2. Press and hold a future.
3. Tap Add to Boards....
4. Check the circles beside the boards. Tap a board only if you want to change whether it contains the future.
5. Tap Done to close the picker.

You can also open Edit Future > More > Boards. Choose the boards, return to the editor, and tap its top-right checkmark to save.

To change boards for several futures together, tap Select in All Futures. Select the futures, then tap the stacked cards with a plus in the bottom bar. Check each board's circle before tapping it. Changes happen right away. Tap Done to close the picker.

Pin boards

A pin keeps a board easy to reach. It does not choose your daily ritual.

1. Open Boards.
2. Press and hold a board.
3. Tap Pin Board.

Use Unpin Board to remove the pin. The board stays saved. You can also use the board's pin icon or its three-dot menu.

Change board order

1. Open Boards.
2. Tap the three dots > Reorder Boards.
3. Drag the boards into the order you want.
4. Tap Done.

You can also press and hold a board and choose Reorder Boards.

Change several boards

1. Open Boards.
2. Tap the three dots > Select Boards.
3. Tap each board you want to change. Use All to select them together.
4. Use the pin, crossed-out pin, or trash control at the bottom.
5. Read any deletion choice before confirming it.
6. Tap Done when you finish.

Filter a board

1. Open the board.
2. Tap the three dots > Filter.
3. Choose the filters you want.
4. Tap Done.

Loop Status means whether a future is included when you play that board. In Loop is included. Paused is left out. The future stays saved.

Use All to clear a filter. A filter changes the view, not the saved futures.

Change future order

1. Open the board.
2. Clear any filters first.
3. Tap the three dots > Reorder.
4. Drag the futures into the order you want.
5. Tap Done.

Reorder appears when the active board has more than one future.

Choose the board cover

The board cover is a collage: four small images or text cards shown together.

1. Open the board.
2. Tap the three dots > Customize Collage.
3. Tap a cell in the cover.
4. Choose the future you want in that cell. Or choose Automatic to let the cell follow your board's order.
5. Repeat for other cells.
6. Close the cover editor when finished.

Only futures included in the board's loop can fill the cover. If a future is paused, add it back to the loop first.

You can also press and hold an included future, choose Customize Collage, then tap the cell where it should appear.

Remove a future from a board

This keeps the future in All Futures and on any other boards that use it.

1. Open the board.
2. Press and hold the future.
3. Choose Remove from Board.
4. Confirm if asked.

For several futures, open the board's three dots > Select. Select the futures, tap the minus in a circle, and confirm. All selects the futures in the current filtered view.

Delete a future

Deleting a future removes it from normal use across the app, including its other boards. It moves to Recently Deleted for 30 days.

1. Press and hold the future in a board or All Futures.
2. Tap Delete Future.
3. Read the confirmation and tap Delete.

For several futures, use Select, choose them, then tap the trash icon. The same deletion consequence applies.

Use the Undo message if you deleted the wrong future. For later recovery, see Recently Deleted.

Remove a board or its futures

Read the choice carefully. A future can also be on another board.

1. Open Boards.
2. Press and hold the board.
3. Tap Delete Board.
4. Choose one:
   • Delete Board Only: Keep its futures in All Futures.
   • Delete Board and Futures: Move the board and its futures to Recently Deleted. Those futures also leave their other boards.

Recently Deleted keeps these items for 30 days. Restoring a board does not by itself restore futures that were also deleted. Restore the items you need.

When a board is paused

If your free plan supports fewer active boards than you have saved, the extra boards stay saved and paused. You can choose which boards are active.

1. Open Boards.
2. Tap the three dots > Choose Active Boards.
3. Select the number of boards shown on screen. Deselect one first if you need to swap it.
4. Confirm your choice with the button at the bottom.

You can also open a paused board and choose three dots > Activate this board.

A paused board may ask you to change your active selection or view Plus before you can play it or add futures. Pausing is not deletion.
