FAQ

Common questions about Kyōfolio, answered. If you don’t see what you need, check the other Resources pages or email [email protected].

The quick answers

• Kyōfolio is a daily planner that helps you plan based on Day Type + Energy.
• It’s designed to be flexible: plans should move.
• There are no streaks and no “you missed a day” guilt UX.
• Highlighting is emphasis, not hiding.

What Kyōfolio is (and isn’t)

Is Kyōfolio a task manager?

Kyōfolio is primarily a daily planner.

You can absolutely track tasks and projects, but the focus is:

• planning today based on capacity
• choosing what matters
• closing the day cleanly

If you want a tool whose core job is managing a massive, permanent backlog… Kyōfolio is intentionally not that.

Does Kyōfolio hide tasks?

Kyōfolio uses highlighting to emphasize what’s relevant, but it’s not a “hide half your life” app.

• Highlighting changes what stands out
• You can still access everything
• You stay in control

Note: A Defer date can hide a task until a specific date—on purpose.

What if I skip a day?

Nothing bad happens.

• no streaks to break
• no punishment mechanics
• no “start over” energy

You can come back and start fresh anytime.

Using Kyōfolio day to day

Do I have to use Day Type + Energy?

No, but it helps.

Day Type + Energy are the fastest way to get a plan that matches reality instead of optimism.

If you want a blank slate, you can start that way too.

What’s the difference between Defer and Target?

• Defer date: hide until later
• Target date: highlight on a specific day

Full explanation here: Defer vs Target

Are Rhythms the same as recurring tasks?

Not quite.

• Recurring tasks are for things that must happen on a schedule (rent, renewals, deadlines).
• Rhythms are for patterns or habits you want to support without streak pressure.

What if today goes off the rails?

Congrats, you are living in the real world. 🙂

Kyōfolio is built for this:

• adjust Energy
• move tasks between blocks
• defer what can wait
• finish the day without feeling like you “failed planning”

Access & platform

Is there a mobile app?

Kyōfolio is currently a web app.

It works well on mobile browsers—and you can install it like an app (PWA) on many devices. We also include install instructions inside Kyōfolio.

If you want the step-by-step version, see: Installing Kyōfolio

Native iOS/Android apps may come later.

Can I use Kyōfolio offline?

Not currently. Kyōfolio works best with an internet connection.

If your connection drops, some screens may load with cached content depending on your browser, but changes won’t reliably sync until you’re back online.

Does Kyōfolio sync with my calendar?

Yes—Kyōfolio supports Google Calendar, iCloud, and ICS calendar links.

• Calendar connections are read-only (Kyōfolio does not write back to your calendar).
• Kyōfolio stores only event fields needed for display: name/title, time, location, description, and video link.
• Calendar refresh happens when you open the app and then every 15 minutes.
• Calendar events are used for context in Today (not as tasks, and not as “you must do this” pressure).

Can I export my data?

Kyōfolio does not have an export feature yet.

What happens if I cancel?

• you can still log in
• your access will be limited to your Profile (including subscription management)
• your data is not deleted
