Creating and managing rules
How to create, edit, archive, and organise your rules.
Rules are the core of TiedUp. Each rule represents a commitment you want to track — anything from a daily routine to a situational boundary.
Rule types
- Daily — appears in Today every day until archived
- Weekly — due once per week on any day you log it
- One-time — a single commitment; disappears from Today once logged
- Ongoing — no cadence; you log it whenever it happens
- Situational — hidden by default in Today; toggle to include when relevant
Priority levels
- Required — critical commitments; affects adherence score most heavily
- Encouraged — strong intentions, tracked and streaked but not penalised as severely
- Aspirational — best-effort tracking with low weight in adherence scores
Tags
Tags let you group rules by theme, relationship context, or any category you choose. You can filter by tag on the Rules list and Analytics views. Tags are private unless the rule is shared with a partner.
Partner-assigned rules
If you have an active partner connection, your partner can create rules assigned to you. These appear in your Today view with a partner badge. You can track them but not edit them — only your partner can modify or delete assigned rules.
You can archive a partner-assigned rule if it's no longer relevant to you.
Archiving vs deleting
Archiving hides a rule from your active list and Today view but preserves its history. Deleting a rule removes it and all its entries permanently. Prefer archiving if you might want to review past data.
