Getting Started
Tap the + button (bottom-right) on the main screen. Give the item a name, choose an icon and color, then set the cycle — how often this task repeats. Tap Save and your item appears in the list.
Demiva supports four cycle types:
- Flexible — every N days / weeks / months (e.g. every 3 months)
- Weekly — specific days of the week (e.g. every Monday & Thursday)
- Monthly — a fixed day each month (e.g. the 15th)
- Yearly — a fixed date each year, with optional alternative calendar support (lunar, Islamic, Persian, Hebrew)
Demiva is designed for long-cycle, easy-to-forget tasks — things you don't do every day but need to remember: car maintenance, medical checkups, seasonal cleaning, and so on.
Unlike streak-based habit apps, Demiva doesn't create guilt. It simply tells you how many days have passed — neutral and factual.
Logging & Records
Tap the Record button on any item card. A sheet appears where you can optionally add a short memo (up to 100 characters). Tap Save to log the completion, or tap Record without note to skip the memo.
Demiva will show a confirmation alert asking if you really mean to log a second time today. This prevents accidental duplicate records. You can confirm to proceed or cancel.
Yes. When adding a new item, the Last Done date picker lets you select any past date. This is useful for items you already track elsewhere and want to migrate into Demiva accurately.
Notifications
When adding or editing an item, enable the Notification toggle and set the time. You can also choose lead days — get reminded 1, 3, or 7 days before the due date, in addition to the due date itself.
Lead day notifications let you receive advance reminders before a task is due. For example, if you enable 3 days before, you'll get a notification three days ahead — useful for tasks that need preparation time like scheduling an appointment or buying supplies.
Check the following:
- Go to iOS Settings → Demiva → Notifications and confirm notifications are enabled.
- Make sure the item has its notification toggle turned on.
- Demiva can schedule up to 60 notifications total. If you have many items, some lower-priority ones may be deferred.
Calendar Support
For yearly and monthly cycle types, Demiva supports five calendar systems:
- Gregorian — standard international calendar
- Chinese Lunar — used for Korean/Chinese traditional dates
- Islamic (Umm al-Qura) — used in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic regions
- Persian — used in Iran and Afghanistan
- Hebrew — supports all 13 months including leap-year months
When adding an item, select Yearly as the cycle type, then tap the calendar selector and choose Chinese Lunar. Set the lunar month and day. Demiva will calculate the correct Gregorian date each year automatically.
Snooze & Skip
Snooze lets you intentionally defer an overdue item without feeling like you "missed" it. Swipe left on a card and tap Snooze. Choose 1 week, 1 month, or a custom date. While snoozed, the item shows no overdue badge and notifications are paused.
On a snoozed item card, tap the Cancel link next to the "Snoozed until…" text. The item returns to its normal state immediately.
Widgets
Long-press an empty area of your home screen → tap + (top-left) → search for Demiva → choose a widget size and tap Add Widget.
The Small widget shows the item most in need of attention — the one most overdue relative to its cycle. It displays the item icon, name, and elapsed days with a color-coded status badge.
The Lock Screen (Accessory Rectangular) widget shows the item name and elapsed days in a compact format.
Tapping either widget opens the app directly to that item.
