Saved Views

Save and reuse your favorite filters

Saved Views let you save filter configurations for quick access later. Create views for different contexts like "Work Memos," "Exercise Tracking," or "Memos with Location" and switch between them instantly. You can also share deep links to views and use them with Siri.

What is a Saved View?

A Saved View is a stored filter configuration. When you apply a saved view, it instantly filters your memo list to show only the memos that match those criteria. Each view remembers:

  • Emoji filter: Show only memos with a specific emoji
  • Text filter: Show only memos containing specific text
  • Location filter: Show all memos, only memos with location, or only memos without location

Creating a Saved View

1

Apply a filter

Tap the filter button in the toolbar and set up your desired filter criteria.

2

Managing Saved Views

Copy Link to a Saved View

Share a deep link to any saved view so others (or you on another device) can open Time Memos with that view applied:

  • Swipe right on a saved view in the filter popover to reveal the Copy Link action
  • Long-press a saved view to open the context menu and select "Copy Link"

The link uses the format timememo://view/{uuid}. When opened, Time Memos launches with that saved view's filters applied.

Delete a Saved View

To remove a saved view you no longer need:

  • Long-press the saved view and select "Delete" from the context menu

Siri Integration

Saved views work with Siri for hands-free access. After creating a saved view, you can say:

"Hey Siri, open Work in Time Memos"

Opens Time Memos with your "Work" saved view applied.

"Hey Siri, open Exercise Tracking in Time Memos"

Opens Time Memos filtered to show your exercise memos.

Tip: Choose short, distinctive names for your saved views to make them easier to say with Siri.

Shortcuts Integration

Saved views integrate with Apple Shortcuts for powerful automation. See the Apple Shortcuts guide for details on these actions:

  • Open Saved View: Opens the app with a specific saved view applied
  • List Time Memos Using Saved View: Lists memos using a saved view's criteria

Example Views

Here are some ideas for useful saved views:

💼

Work

Filter by the briefcase emoji to see all work-related timestamps.

💊

Medications

Track when you took your medications with a pill emoji filter.

📍

With Location

Show only memos that have location data attached.

🏃

Exercise

Filter by running emoji to review your workout history.

☕

Coffee

See when and where you've been getting your caffeine fix.

👶

Baby

Track feeding times, naps, and other baby-related events.

Tips

Combine with exports

Apply a saved view before exporting to get exactly the data you need. For example, apply your "Work" view, then export to generate a timesheet.

Use consistent emoji

For saved views to be most useful, use emoji consistently when creating memos. Always use the same emoji for the same type of activity.

Share views across devices

Saved views sync via iCloud, so they're available on all your devices signed into the same Apple ID.
