Getting started

The basics. Impetus is evolving fast, so this grows with it.

1. Sign in

Open the app and sign in with Apple, Google, or an email + password. That's it — you're in.

2. Talk to your coach

The home screen is a conversation. Tell it what's on your plate in plain words — "I need to file my taxes and I keep avoiding it," or "remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 9." The coach turns that into a task, a first step, or a calendar event, and helps you begin.

3. Start a focus session

When you're ready to actually do a task, start a focus session. Impetus keeps you company, checks in, and (once app-blocking is enabled) can shield distracting apps until your timer ends. Tap "I finished this" when you're done and it learns your real pace.

4. Your calendar

The Calendar tab shows what's coming up across your connected calendars. Grant calendar access when asked so it can see your full schedule.

5. Stored info

Under Settings → Stored info, keep track of the things you own — devices, your car, insurance, subscriptions — with details and key dates (warranty ends, renews, last service). It's there so Impetus can help you remember the stuff that's easy to forget.

New features are landing regularly. If something here doesn't match what you see, you're probably just ahead of the docs — check the FAQ or reach out on Support.
