Using Align on iPad
Align runs on iPad with the same time blocks and account as on your iPhone. A larger screen lets you see more of your schedule at once and work with a keyboard.
Layout on iPad
On iPad, the timeline shows several days side by side. The number of days depends on how wide the Align window is:
- Each day gets a column at least 380 points wide, up to four days at once
- A narrow window, such as a small window in Split View or Slide Over, shows one day, the same as on iPhone
- Rotating your iPad or resizing the window updates the number of days
The date browser marks every day that is on screen.
Multiple Windows
You can open more than one Align window and place them side by side with Split View or Stage Manager.
- Each window shows its own day and its own selection, so you can look at two different dates at once
- Undo and redo work per window. See Undo and Redo
- Keyboard shortcuts and menu commands act on the window you are using
Keyboard Shortcuts
With a keyboard attached, hold ⌘ to see the available shortcuts.
| Shortcut | Command |
|---|---|
| ⌘N | New time block |
| ⌘T | Today |
| ⌘← | Previous day |
| ⌘→ | Next day |
| ⌘, | Settings |
| ⌘Return | Save the time block you are editing |
| Esc | Cancel editing the time block |
| ⌘Z | Undo |
| ⇧⌘Z | Redo |
Previous day and Next day follow the date browser: when it shows weeks or months, they move by a week or a month.
New time block, Today, Previous day, Next day and Settings are unavailable while a sheet, such as the time block editor, is open.
Drag and Drop
Drag and drop works on iPad the same way as on iPhone. Because several days are on screen, you can also drag a time block straight onto another visible day.
- Tap and hold the time block
- Drag it to the day and time you want
- Release to drop it in place
To reach a day that isn't on screen, drag the block to the edge of the timeline and keep holding until Align scrolls to it. See Drag and Drop for more.
