How to Customize Your Structured App

Looks matter. At least for an app that is designed to make your life a bit easier. This is why there are various settings that you can use to change the appearance of Structured to best fit your needs and preferences.

To access this realm of many possibilities, simply go to the ⚙️ Structured Settings and select Customization. The top part in this section will now show you how the modifications you have chosen will change the look of your app.

Choose between three types of layout for your timeline:

• Full: In the default setting of the app, the time will be displayed on the left side of your tasks. In addition, you see the option to directly add a new task into a free time slot. Moreover, your tasks will be displayed as an icon below the date of each day.

• Simplified: This mode gets rid of suggestions in free time slots. You can of course still add tasks with the ➕ symbol. Your timeline will appear less crowded. Moreover, your tasks won't be displayed as an icon below the date of each day anymore.

• Minimal: Here, neither the free time slot suggestions will be displayed, nor the timestamp to the left of your tasks.

The option to simplify your layout may help you if you are having trouble focussing on too many things at once, or if you simply prefer a cleaner look.

With the App Color, you can customize the color scheme of Structured. Use either one of the most iconic Structured colors or create your very own custom color. Changing the app color will have no effect on the colors of your existing tasks.

There are three options for the background color of the app. The default setting is System, which means that it is linked to the settings of your device. If your phone goes into dark mode at a specific time, the same will happen in Structured. Alternatively, you can choose whether you want your app to stay in Light or Dark mode.

If you are using Structured on macOS, you can also adjust the font size in your ⚙️ Structured Settings. In the Appearance section, scroll all the way down and use the slider to adjust the text size.

On mobile devices, the font size of Structured is linked to your device's settings and can be changed there only. To achieve this, go to your general Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. In the Accessibility section, you can adjust your device's font size. Here, you can also increase contrast, reduce transparency, or reduce motion, which will affect the animations in Structured. This can be helpful if you struggle with motion sickness.

In the Appearance settings, you can change the Structured font to OpenDyslexic. This font was developed for people who struggle with dyslexia.

If you are using Structured on a mobile device, you can choose between a selection of different app icons. You can either select the default icon in a different color or, if you feel nostalgic, switch to an icon we used in a previous version of the app.

Please note that this is not possible yet on Mac or Android.
