The Tryck guide

← back to Tryck

What everything in Tryck means and how to use it — the app itself and every add-on. The guide grows with the app, so it always describes the Tryck you're using.

The basics

Tryck (Swedish for pressure, push, the press of a button) used to be called Duly. Your data, sign-in and address are unchanged. The icon is the switch in its on position, and the slogan is “Press on.” In Settings → Missed-task fees the switch says “Press on” when it is on and “Not yet” when it is off. The old name still shows up in a few file names (the Windows installer, the Android package) until those apps are rebuilt.

Tasks

A task has a title, notes, a due date (with an optional time and length), a priority (none, low, medium, high — the flag colours), tags and subtasks. Click a task to open its panel; everything about it is changed there.

Habits

One full-width row per habit (all in the accent colour; a habit's own colour only shows in its panel), and the panel opens on the right only when you pick a habit; each one of four types (changed any time in the habit's settings → Type):

Phones, apps and reminders

Apps and platforms: what works where

Tryck is one app on every device: the same pages, the same account, one version number (Settings → Apps shows it). The Windows and Android apps are Tryck in their own window plus a few things only a device can do. There is no iPhone app; on an iPhone, open Tryck in Safari and use Share → Add to Home Screen, and it behaves like an installed app (reminders only arrive once it is added to the Home Screen).

Setting up the Android app (4.1). Install it from Settings → Apps (or the QR code) and open it: the welcome screen asks for your Tryck password and signs the app in, health sync, receipts and Tryck itself, with no browser and no key to copy (the address is filled in; Not on …? changes it). Under Advanced are Paste connect link (for a link from Connect this phone) and the receipt-reminders-only mode; the address and automation key are at the bottom of the app's own settings. None of this is shown again when the app updates. Phones on an older app version stay connected as before and just show no checklist until they update.

Two addresses reach the same Tryck: tryck.app and the older workers.dev one. Each remembers its own sign-in. The Receipt page and the family portal can also be installed on their own, because the people using them have a link rather than a Tryck account.

People

Settings → People invites the people you live with. Each gets their own sign-in (never yours) and a page at /portal ("Tryck Home" on a phone): the chores that are theirs, the tasks you gave them, and a way to ask you for things (lands in your Inbox marked "from <name>"). At the bottom they also get Shared notes: the small wall of post-its you share from the Jot view. They can write new notes, edit any of them or take one off, and changes show up on both sides within a few seconds.

Time (add-on)

One timer and a timesheet. Type what you're working on, pick a project, Start. Only one timer runs at a time, and it lives on the server, so every device shows it.

Chores (add-on)

The home drawn as a floor plan, at /chores and in the side menu. Rooms are made of squares (any shape), furniture is dragged in, and everything has chores.

Pantry (add-on)

What food is at home and what to use first, at /pantry and in the side menu. English and Swedish.

Shopping (add-on)

One shared household list at /shopping, phone-first, with prices in SEK.

Ledger (add-on)

One add-on, one page. Switch Ledger on in Settings → Add-ons and the side menu gets one item, Ledger (also at /ledger). It has two tabs: Month, where you work (expenses, bills, budgets, debt, import), and Overview, the old Household page: what this month cost and what your partner paid, bills overdue or due soon, debt and the debt-free month, budget bars (green on track, amber ahead of pace, red over), Spending by category (this month, last month, three-month average), Bills this month and earlier months. Everything on Overview is read from Tryck's own ledger and updates when you open it. To change a budget, use Edit budgets in Month. This used to be two add-ons' worth of menu (Household and Ledger) behind one switch; an older link or bookmark to the Household page opens Ledger, and the switch you already had on stays on. Anything that still calls the switch household keeps working: the two names are one setting.

The Month tab

Your expenses, bills and money in, kept in Tryck itself. It is for you only: nobody you have invited to your home, no phone app and no automation can open it.

Moving from the old ledger (Settings → Advanced / history)

Tryck's own ledger is the source now. The two controls that helped the move are kept, folded away under Ledger → Settings → Advanced / history; nothing there needs touching.

Receipt inbox (add-on)

Phones send receipts (paid) and bills (to pay) as photos or PDFs through the receipt page — Settings → Add-on options → Receipts to share it. The live scanner crops and straightens paper receipts and says when one is cut off. With the Android app installed, the reminder's tap, the app's Snap receipt shortcut, Tryck's own Snap receipt button and the page's "Scan with the Tryck app" button all open Google's document scanner, straight into the inbox — and duly://scan opens it from any page of your own. The ledger pulls them in, books them, and files are deleted 30 days after import.

Moving a partner’s phone from the old Tryck Receipts app. Tryck for Android now has the same reminders built in, so the separate Receipts app is retired (its old download link keeps working for now). On the phone: install Tryck for Android from the receipt page’s “Download the app”, open it and tap Only the receipt reminders (no sign-in to your Tryck needed), then open your receipt link in Chrome and tap Connect the Android app; choose Tryck if Android asks which app. Set “Who pays” and the store list again in its settings, turn on notification access for Tryck, and only then uninstall Tryck Receipts — having both with notification access would remind twice.

Aim training (add-on)

The Windows app uploads every KovaaK's and Aim Lab run seconds after you finish it.

Play (add-on)

Setbook (add-on)

The gym tracker, at /setbook and in the side menu: workouts, templates, a weekly plan, body weight, measurements and progress photos, all on Tryck's own server. It works offline at the gym and saves when you're back. Finishing a workout ticks the Workout habit; the coach (needs the API key from the Pantry's settings) answers questions for a few öre each. Backup, restore and Strong import live under Profile.

Phone health (add-on)

The Android app reads Health Connect hourly: steps to the Steps habit, plus sleep with stages, resting heart rate, HRV, workouts and weight into the health timeline — which is what the Aim page's comparisons are built on.
