Complete Actions Integration Guide
Timepage and Actions work together seamlessly to give you a complete view of your schedule and tasks. This bidirectional integration allows you to see your calendar events and Action Cards in both apps, with changes syncing automatically.
Overview
When you use both Timepage and Actions, the two apps share information in both directions:
- Actions in Timepage: Your Action Cards appear in Timepage’s Timeline and Day View - see Actions in Timepage for details
- Timepage in Actions: Your calendar events appear in Actions’ Schedule panel - see Timepage in Actions for details
- Automatic sync: Changes made in either app appear in the other automatically
This integration helps you see your full day at a glance – both your scheduled events and your tasks – so you can avoid overbooking and plan more effectively.
Setting Up the Integration
Requirements
- Both apps installed on your device
- Same Bonobo account signed in to both apps - see Creating and Managing Accounts
- In Actions: Menu > Account
- In Timepage: Menu > Account
- Sign in with email, Google, or Apple – use the same account for both
- Internet connection for syncing
Setup Steps
- Install both Actions and Timepage on your device
- Sign in with the same Bonobo account in both apps
- Open Actions, go to Menu > Account, and sign in
- Open Timepage, go to Menu > Account, and sign in with the same account
- The integration happens automatically once both apps are signed in
After setup, tasks you add to Actions will immediately begin appearing in Timepage, and events you add to Timepage will appear in Actions.
Actions in Timepage
Timeline View
In Timepage’s Timeline, your Action Cards appear on their scheduled dates alongside your calendar events.
Visual indicators:
- Tasks display their name on the date you assigned in Actions
- Events show their calendar color
- Actions show a small color-coded hyphen next to the title to distinguish them from events
This helps you see both your scheduled events and tasks at a glance, making it easy to understand your full day.
Day View
When you tap into a specific day in Timepage’s Day View, all to-dos for that day appear under an “Actions” header.
What you’ll see:
- Action Cards show their List color and title
- Actions display their List and Schedule information from Actions
- All your tasks for that day organized together
Interacting with Actions from Timepage
You can manage your Action Cards directly from Timepage:
- View details: Tap an Action Card to launch Actions and see full details (notes, schedule, List)
- Mark complete: Swipe right to left (short) on an Action Card
- Reschedule: Swipe left to right (short) to reschedule
- Delete: Swipe left to right (long) to delete
- Move between days: Drag Action Cards from one day and drop them to another
- Create new Action: Tap the plus (+) button at bottom of screen, then tap “Action” – this launches Actions where you type the title, then press Done to return to Timepage
All changes made in Timepage sync back to Actions automatically, so you don’t have to worry about marking tasks in multiple places.
Timepage Events in Actions
Schedule Panel
All your Timepage events automatically appear in Actions under the Schedule panel on their relevant day. This helps you see your full schedule (events + tasks) in one place.
Features:
- Events display with their representative calendar color, so you can distinguish which calendar they belong to
- Events appear on the correct day based on when they’re scheduled
- Tapping on an event launches that day in Timepage, where you can view more information on your schedule
Moving Tasks to Calendar
If you’re adding an Action Card that feels more like a calendar event, you can quickly move it over to Timepage by tapping the “move to Timepage” button above the keyboard. Timepage will then launch, and you can continue putting in the information.
Sync Behavior
Automatic Synchronization
Changes sync automatically between Actions and Timepage in both directions:
What syncs:
- Action Cards (creation, completion, deletion, rescheduling)
- Task details (title, notes, schedule, List)
- Changes made in either app appear in the other
Sync timing:
- Usually near-instant, but may take a moment depending on your connection
- Both apps must be signed in with the same Bonobo account
- Requires internet connection
How It Works
- Changes in Actions → Automatically appear in Timepage
- Changes in Timepage → Automatically appear in Actions
- No manual sync needed – everything happens automatically
You don’t have to mark tasks in multiple places – it’s all synchronized. Acting on a Card in Actions will also affect the Card found in Timepage, and vice versa.
For more information about syncing, see Setting up Syncing.
Platform Support
The Actions ↔ Timepage integration works on:
- iOS: Full integration supported (iPhone and iPad)

Both apps support cross-device syncing, so your tasks and events appear across all devices when signed in with the same account.
