Windows install & update guide

What's in Windows 1.3

• Arrange Planner — Choose start, days, week and month, inserts, cover and preview one step at a time, with real pages. Open it from the shelf's + button.
• All Pages — The palette's magnifier or G shows every page at a glance; click a cell to go there.
• Task reminders — Right-click a task › Remind me… and pick a time. It rings as a Windows notification while the app is running.
• Always on Top · Fold — The 📌 and ⌃ buttons on the paper (Ctrl+Alt+T · F) keep the planner above other windows or fold it to a small strip.
• Monthly page — A decorated calendar page opens where the home used to be (M · Ctrl+0). Each day shows its tasks · D-days · painted hours, and the month plan on the right holds goals · habits · notes.
• Stats — The old home's stats · calendar · D-days now open from [Stats] on each book card on the shelf.
• Link box — The MEMO area is now a rounded link-card box. Paste an address and the site's picture and title show as a card; click it to open it in your browser. Your old memos move over by themselves.
• Memo pads · stickers — Stick memo pads in the empty space to the left of the planner window (‘Always Shown’ at the top, that day's ‘Today's Notes’ at the bottom). Jot something down with Win+Alt+N even while you're in another app, and decorate the paper with memo pads and stickers. Right-click to turn a task into a memo pad and back.
• Inserts · diary — In Settings → Arrange Planner, look at the week and month layouts, turn off weekends or days off, and add week plan · notes (lined · grid · plain) · diary · month plan inserts. Text fits the lines of inserts and memo pads, and you can write by hand with the pen or the writing pen (P).
• Cover editor — Collage up to 8 photos, add a title and text boxes on a color · pattern · photo background, and stick on memo pads and stickers to decorate the cover. A single photo makes a photo cover too.
• Date styles — In Settings → Planner → Edit Planner, choose how the DATE looks for each planner. Bookmarks (Ctrl+B) and weeks starting on Sunday are there too.
• Screen Lock — Turn on Settings → Screen Lock, and opening Spiralday asks for Windows Hello (PIN · face · fingerprint). It locks after a set idle time or when you lock your PC, and Ctrl+L locks it right away. It starts off.
• English — Choose English in Settings → Language · 언어, and the paper window · palette · settings · menus switch to English. On English Windows, the installer is in English too. What you've written stays as it is.

1.Installing for the first time

1. Download — Get Spiralday-Setup.exe with the button above. If Edge says the file ‘isn't commonly downloaded’, do this.
2. Run — Open the file you downloaded. If a ‘Windows protected your PC’ window appears, click More info → Run anyway. If the publisher shown is LeanAgileHungry . INC, it's a file we signed (Why does it appear?).
3. Install — Click ‘Install’. It installs for your account only, without administrator rights, and adds shortcuts to the desktop and the Start menu. When it's done, click ‘Finish’ and it opens right away.

2.Already using it — updates

The app gets new versions by itself. It checks when it starts, and once a day while it's open.

1. When the download is done, a ‘Version … is ready’ card appears at the top of the paper.
2. Click Restart to Update. It saves what you were writing, switches to the new version and opens again. It only takes a moment.

On 0.9? — New versions arrive with the same card. If the card hasn't shown up yet, give it a little time. To switch right away, get the new version with the download button and install it over the old one. Your records stay.

See your version · check now — Settings (Ctrl+, or the gear on the palette) → About → Check for Updates.

Since 1.0, updates come from spiralday.com and only ones with our company signature get installed. The first time you open the app after an update, it shows ‘What's new’ once; if you missed it, find it again in Settings → News.

3.Reinstalling

You only need this when: the app won't open, the update card keeps coming back after restarting, or you see a notice that part of the app was blocked.

1. Back up (recommended) — Save your planner to a file with Settings → Data → Export Backup…. It saves the planner that's open right now, so if you have several, do it for each one. If the app won't open, skip this.
2. Close the app — Close every Spiralday window. If you install while it's open, the installer closes the app at once and you might lose the last letter or two you typed.
3. Download and run — Run a freshly downloaded file from this page's download button. No need to uninstall first — it installs right over your current Spiralday.
4. Check — When the app opens, make sure your planners are all there.
