Account & Sign-In
How do I sign up for OMA?
Open the app and select Sign In with Google. OMA currently uses Google sign-in to create and access your account.
Do I need to create a separate OMA password?
No. OMA uses your Google account for authentication, so you do not need to create a separate username or password for the app.
What happens the first time I sign in?
The app creates your profile and sets up a starter template with example Spaces, Sections, and Cards. This gives you a ready-made structure you can edit, keep, or replace.
Can I use more than one Google account?
Yes. If you sign out, you can sign back in with a different Google account. On most devices, Google will show an account picker so you can choose which account to use.
I tapped Sign In with Google, but nothing happened. What should I do?
Check your internet connection first, then try again. If the browser-based sign-in flow was interrupted, return to the app and start the sign-in process one more time.
I signed in before. Why am I being asked to sign in again?
This can happen if your session expired, you signed out manually, browser or app data was cleared, or your device removed access to the Google account used previously.
I cannot access my account. Who handles password recovery?
Because OMA uses Google sign-in, password resets and account recovery are handled through your Google account, not inside the app.
Getting Started
What is OMA used for?
OMA is a personal organization app that helps you manage routines, one-time tasks, and supply tracking across different areas of your life.
What are Spaces, Sections, and Cards?
Spaces are your top-level categories, such as Home, Work, or Personal. Sections live inside a Space, and Cards are the individual items you want to track inside each Section.
What kinds of things can I track in OMA?
You can track recurring routines, one-time tasks, and supplies or household items with quantities. Many users organize cleaning schedules, personal routines, work reminders, and restock items.
Is there sample content in the app when I begin?
Yes. New accounts start with example content so you can see how the app works right away. You can rename, reorder, edit, or delete that content at any time.
Do I have to keep the default starter setup?
No. The starter setup is only there to help you begin quickly. You can customize the structure to fit your own workflow.
Can I use OMA on more than one device?
Yes. OMA is designed for multiple platforms, so you can sign in with the same Google account and use your data across supported devices.
General How-To
How do I create a new section?
Open the area where you manage your Spaces, then choose the option to add a new section. You can name it, choose an icon, and assign it to the Space where it belongs.
How do I organize my app by category?
Create Spaces for broad categories such as Home, Work, or Me, then create Sections inside each one. This keeps related tasks grouped together and easier to browse.
How do I reorder my Spaces and Sections?
Open the screen for modifying your Spaces and Sections, then press and drag items into the order you want. Save the new sort order when you are done.
Can I rename a Space or Section later?
Yes. OMA lets you edit existing Spaces and Sections so you can update names and keep your organization system current.
Can I delete a Space or Section?
Yes. You can delete them from the edit controls. Be careful, because deleting a Space or Section may also remove the content inside it.
How do I create a task card?
Add a Card inside the Section where you want it to live. You can give it a title, optional details, an icon, and a schedule type depending on what you want to track.
Can I edit a card after I create it?
Yes. Open the card details and use the edit option to update the name, schedule, quantity, or other supported fields.
Tasks, Routines & Supplies
What is the difference between a recurring task and a one-time task?
A recurring task repeats on a schedule, while a one-time task is meant to be completed once. Recurring tasks are useful for routines, and one-time tasks are better for single deadlines or errands.
What scheduling options does OMA support?
OMA supports one-time tasks, recurring tasks based on time since the last completion, recurring tasks on a fixed schedule, and flexible anytime-style recurring tracking.
How do I mark a task as complete?
Open the card and tap the completion action. For repeating items, OMA records the completion and updates the next due timing. For one-time items, the task can be marked complete permanently.
What does “Skip this time” mean?
Skip this time lets you move past the current occurrence of a repeating task without recording it as a normal completion. It is useful when you intentionally want to miss one cycle.
Can I see when I completed something before?
Yes. Cards include completion history so you can review past activity and understand when a task was last done.
Can I edit or remove a history entry?
Yes. OMA supports managing history entries so you can correct mistakes if a completion time or restock entry was recorded incorrectly.
What is a supply card?
A supply card tracks an item by quantity instead of only by completion status. This is useful for things like paper products, pantry items, and other supplies that need restocking.
How do supply cards work?
Supply cards show a current quantity and a maximum quantity. When you use one, the quantity goes down. When you restock, the quantity goes back up and the restock action is stored in history.
What happens when a supply reaches zero?
The card can show that the item is out of stock, making it easier to spot what needs to be replaced or purchased.
Notifications & Settings
Does OMA send reminders?
Yes. OMA includes notifications for scheduled items, as long as notifications are enabled in the app and allowed by your device or browser.
How do I turn notifications on or off?
Open Settings and use the notifications switch. If your device asks for permission, be sure to allow notifications there as well.
What if I enabled notifications but still do not receive them?
Check whether your device or browser blocked notification permission. Also confirm that notifications are enabled in OMA settings and that your reminder timing is set the way you expect.
Can I choose how early reminders arrive?
Yes. In Settings, you can choose how far in advance daily task reminders should appear.
What is the daily overview time?
The daily overview time is a scheduled time of day when OMA can give you a general reminder or overview, depending on your notification setup.
Can I change the app theme?
Yes. OMA includes theme settings so you can change the visual look of the app.
Can I change the timezone used for reminders?
Yes. In Settings, you can use your device timezone automatically or choose a specific timezone manually.
What happens to reminders if I travel?
If timezone is set to automatic, reminders follow your device timezone. If you selected a manual timezone, reminders continue using that fixed timezone until you change it.
Can I reset tips shown inside the app?
Yes. OMA includes a setting to reset in-app tips so they can be shown again.
Troubleshooting
OMA is not loading correctly. What should I try first?
Close and reopen the app, then confirm your internet connection is working. If the issue continues, sign out and sign back in if possible.
My changes are not showing up right away. Why?
In some cases, a slow connection or temporary sync delay can make updates appear later than expected. Refreshing the app or reopening the affected screen can help.
Why did my Google sign-in fail?
Sign-in can fail if your internet connection is unstable, the browser flow was interrupted, or the selected Google account could not complete authentication. Trying again usually resolves temporary failures.
Why are my reminders missing after I changed devices?
Make sure you are signed in with the same Google account and that notifications are enabled again on the new device. Some platforms require notification permission to be granted separately on each device.
The app says notifications are enabled, but my browser still blocks them. What should I do?
Check your browser or site permission settings and allow notifications for the app. Browser-level permission can override the app setting.
I changed my timezone and reminder times look different. Is that normal?
Yes. Reminder times are tied to timezone settings, so changing the timezone can shift how due dates and notifications appear.
Can I use OMA offline?
Some previously loaded content may still appear temporarily, but OMA relies on online services for sign-in and syncing. For the best experience, use it with an active internet connection.
Does signing out delete my data?
No. Signing out only ends your current session on that device. Your account data remains tied to the Google account you used to sign in.
Privacy & Data
Where is my account data stored?
OMA stores account and app data in its connected backend service so your information can stay associated with your signed-in account across supported devices.
Is my data shared with other users?
OMA is designed so each user works with their own data. Your Spaces, Sections, Cards, and history are associated with your account only.
What personal information does OMA use from my Google account?
OMA uses Google sign-in details needed to authenticate your account, such as your email address and basic profile information required for account access.
Can I sign out without losing my setup?
Yes. Your saved content stays with your account, so signing back in with the same Google account should restore access to your data.
How do I delete my account and data?
You can delete your account directly from the app by tapping the ⋮ menu → My Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile and all associated data. If you no longer have the app installed, visit our account deletion page for instructions on how to request deletion by email.
