Working hours & weekly target

So NowDoing doesn’t ask you on a Sunday morning what you’re working on, it knows your working days and (optionally) public holidays. Configure everything under Settings → General → Working hours — or in the welcome wizard at step 4.

Tap the days you work. On other days NowDoing does not show the prompt and excludes them from the daily target.

Default is Monday through Friday. Any combination works — even a six-day rhythm if that’s your reality.

Your target hours per week (0–80 h). The target is spread evenly across active days and feeds the Timesheet as daily and weekly remainders.

Example: 40 h weekly target across 5 active days = 8 h daily target.

Set the weekly target to 0 to disable the target display in the Timesheet.

When Respect public holidays is on, NowDoing treats a holiday like an inactive day: no prompt, no daily target.

When you enable it, pick your country. Supported are the common national calendars (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, US, UK, …). The calendar updates automatically at year boundaries.

Regional holidays (e.g. Bavaria vs. Berlin) follow the country’s standard calendar — hyper-local holidays aren’t covered. If a particular day matters, simply skip it manually using the Pause function.

  • No automatic prompt.
  • No entry in the Timesheet.
  • The global shortcut ⌃⌥⌘L still works — you can log activities manually even on an “off” day.
