Getting started

Your first 30 minutes with Roby 🐾

A short, friendly walkthrough to get you up and running. Skip any step that doesn't apply — Roby's flexible.

STEP 1

Create your account

Click 'Get started' anywhere on the site. Sign in with Google or email — it takes 30 seconds and doesn't need a card.

Already have an account? Use the Log in button instead.

STEP 2

Connect your calendar (optional, recommended)

Head to Settings → Google Calendar to connect your existing schedule. Your meetings will appear as locked tasks Roby won't try to reschedule.

Skip this if you'd rather start fresh — you can always connect later.

STEP 3

Add your first task

On the Dashboard, click any empty time slot to add a task. Give it a title, pick a category, and that's it. Need a deadline? Set due-date defaults per category in Settings.

Or just chat to Roby: 'Schedule a 1-hour focus block tomorrow morning.'

STEP 4

Meet Roby

Open the chat panel and say hi. Ask 'what's on today?', 'when should I do X?', or just describe what's on your plate. Roby will help you plan.

Roby's tone is warm and encouraging by default. You can never break Roby — try anything!

STEP 5

Link Telegram (optional)

Settings → Telegram → 'Generate code'. Paste it into a DM with the Scheduleroby bot. Now you can add tasks, get reminders, and chat with Roby anywhere.

Type 'help' to the bot to see everything it can do.

STEP 6

Set up reminders that work for you

Settings → Notifications lets you pick browser, Telegram, or email reminders. Set per-category default due dates (e.g. 'Reports → 2 business days @ 5pm').

ADHD tip: relative reminders ('30 min before') often work better than absolute ones.

STEP 7

Try the focus timer

Click any task and hit 'Focus'. The timer is task-linked, so when it ends you can mark complete, extend, or ask Roby to reschedule with one tap.

Pomodoro fan? Set 25-minute sessions. Deep worker? Try 90.

STEP 8

Make it yours

Settings → Themes lets you pick gradients, accents, and even a background image. Subcategory colour pickers let you tag visually at a glance.

Your theme syncs across all devices automatically.
