What's new in Dew 1.2 — Rhythm pages you design
Two ways to shape Rhythm was one too many. Now every page is one you design.
Written by Abhishek Agarwal, maker of Dew. How this is sourced →
Dew 1.2 is here. In 1.1.9 Rhythm had two ways to make it yours: four looks, and a page you could design yourself. You told us you couldn’t tell which was which. So 1.2 keeps one. Every Rhythm page is now a page you design, and the looks are simply places to begin.
Nothing chosen for you
The first time you open Rhythm, there’s no page waiting. Instead there’s a swipe of full-size pages, each one already drawn from your own days. Pick the one that feels like you, or start blank. Pages you designed before are under Your past designs, one tap away.
Where a page can begin
each one drawn from your own days
Pages with names
Keep as many pages as you like. From the title at the top you can switch between them, start a new one, rename it, or delete it. Deleting a page never touches anything you’ve logged.
The looks, as blocks
The scenes and cards from the looks are blocks now, so you can put them on any page. A block’s size says how much it shows: a line, a card, or a whole scene. The season block is the Path itself: walk it sideways, with the days ahead signposted.
One way to edit
Hold a block and the page starts to jiggle. Tap a block for its settings, drag it to move it, and use the round badge in its corner to make it bigger or smaller. Undo sits in the bar at the bottom.
Every card tells you more
Tap a card and it opens its own page, and that page always says more than the card did. Charts aside, each one starts with a drawing of your own answer.
Details that tell more
tap any card on your page
Today in a sentence
this cycle so far, a stone a day, and what you noted on this day last cycle
Words today
your words this week, beside the same days last cycle
Your own things and rules
a strip for each, and when a rule last came true
Ask Dew
your pinned questions, each asked in a tap
Your four seasons
on a season card's page: each season's flower and name, its medical name, and the days it spans in your own cycle
The sprout shows you around
The first time, a little sprout walks you through it: hold a card to change it, tap to open it, and find your pages at the top. It shows once, and only on the Rhythm tab.
And since 1.2.0
- 1.2.1Moss is here. A Moss card opens Moss, or Moss's App Store page right inside Dew if you don't have it yet, never a website. Connecting takes one tap.
- 1.2.1When your cycle looks unlike you, Today asks about it, and nothing changes without your tap.
- 1.2.2Rhythm, a scrapbook: pin the pictures you like, arrange them your way, or start from a page Dew drew from your days.
- 1.2.2Your cup: keep count of water on Today, and tap the widget to add a sip.
- 1.2.2A quieter page: a page in your log for intimate things, behind Face ID.
- 1.2.2Your pill, your way: with a break, the same pill every day, or the mini pill.
- 1.2.2A late period keeps the date you were given: “Late by N days”, with your expected window beneath.
- 1.2.2Ask Dew: ask about your own days in your own words, answered on your iPhone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence.
- 1.2.4Your own page: tap your name on Today, and everything that's yours is gathered in one calm place.
- 1.2.4Dear us: write to Abhi & Riri right from Dew. We read every letter, and we write back in Dew.
- 1.2.4Pick your paper: plain, soft grain, crayon or notebook, under every screen.
- 1.2.4Your own questions: ask yourself something on the intimate page, with the answers you choose.
Still yours alone
Every page you design lives where everything else in Dew does: on your phone and in your own private iCloud. No account, no ads, no Dew server. By design.
Something you’d like Rhythm to show? Open Dear us in Dew and write to us, or tell us here. Every note gets read.
Common questions
Frequently asked
- Is Rhythm still a set of named pages?
- Rhythm kept growing after 1.2.0. Since 1.2.2 it's one page, a scrapbook of pictures you pin and arrange. You can still start it from a page drawn from your own days, any time, and changing your page never touches what you've logged.
- Does designing a page send anything anywhere?
- No. Your pages are kept on your phone and in your own private iCloud, like everything else in Dew. There is no Dew account and no Dew server reading your data.
- What is Moss?
- Moss is our private journal app, made by the same two of us. If you have it, a Moss card in Rhythm opens Moss. If you don't, Dew shows Moss's App Store page right there, and never sends you to a website.
