Ambitus

Ambitus Manual

Every part of Ambitus, step by step, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

Getting Started

Your first start, how the window is laid out on each device, and where to find everything.

Tasks

Your reminders and calendar events as one list, day after day — what you see, and how to add, tick off, change and find them.

Calendar

Your events and timed tasks by day, week, month and year — how to move between the views, what the marks mean, and how to add and change things.

Notes

Writing and organising your notes — folders, the tool bar, tick boxes, links, turning words into tasks, and getting earlier versions back.

Photos, Drawings, Recordings and Video

Adding pictures, drawings, sound and video to a note, and what you can do with each one once it is there.

Tables

Real tables inside a note — moving around them, changing their look, formulas, number formats, tick boxes, and bringing tables in and out.

The Time Note

One note with a page for every day — a diary, a work log or a journal, and how to write in it, move through it, read it and export it.

The Note as a Page

Showing a note as the page it will print on — size, orientation, colour, rulers, zoom, and how page breaks treat photos and tables.

Lists

Coloured lists that belong to a day — making them, adding and ticking items, repeating a list, tags, and the Quotes box.

Search

Finding anything in your tasks, notes and lists from one place — what is searched, how it matches, and what isn't.

Protected Notes and Lists

Locking a note or list with one password — how to protect, unlock and lock, what stays private, and what happens if you forget the password.

Sharing and Export

Getting things out of Ambitus and in — export formats, PDF pages, printing, and importing documents.

Files and Storage

Where your notes and lists are kept, how to use folders of your own, how syncing works, and tidying up.

Siri and Apple Watch

Capturing a note by voice, where quick notes go, and everything Ambitus does on the watch.

Settings

Every setting in Ambitus, page by page, and which ones are kept on each device.

Buying Ambitus

The free trial, the one-time purchase, Family Sharing, and restoring on another device.

Permissions and Privacy

What Ambitus asks for and why, what happens if you say no, and what leaves your device.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Every key in Ambitus on a Mac, and on an iPad with a keyboard attached.

If Something Is Not Working

The problems people meet most often, and what to do about each one.
