patchio in the browser, on your home screen and as an app on Mac and PC. New versions arrive on their own the next time you open patchio online.

  1. Version 0.322current

    Change your email address yourself

    in your profile, tap "Change email address" to enter a new address for signing in. For your security, you get two emails, one to your current address and one to the new one. The new address only applies once you've confirmed both links. Until then, you sign in as usual. If you subscribed to the newsletter in patchio, your subscription moves with you. This one came from your feedback.

  2. Version 0.321

    Cooking mode

    open a recipe and tap "Start cooking". You cook step by step, see only the ingredients you need for each step, adjusted to your servings, and set timers with one tap. Several timers can run at once. The kitchen view shows your hob with 2, 4 or 6 rings, which ring is in use and how long is left, plus the oven with an estimated preheat level. If you like, AI prepares the method as steps with hob level, temperature and timers. Without that, you simply cook along the numbered method. You can also have steps read aloud and keep the screen on.

  3. Version 0.320

    One day, all events

    on your phone, tap a day in the month view and the agenda opens from that day with all its events, plus a button back to the month. Add new events with the plus button, the day you picked is already filled in. The "Upcoming birthdays" list in the calendar now also shows birthdays you added yourself under "Birthdays", and the plus button no longer covers the last entry. Both came from your feedback.

  4. Version 0.319

    Weather from the German Weather Service

    your dashboard, events and wall display now show weather based on DWD data. It's fetched through our server, so your IP address isn't passed to any weather service. Place search is more precise too and no longer mistakes room names in event locations for towns abroad.

  5. Version 0.318

    Your day, every morning

    if you like, you get a short overview of today's weather, events and birthdays every morning at the time you choose. It arrives in the bell and, if you've allowed push, on your phone. Turn it on in your profile under Notifications, pick a time between 05:00 and 11:00 and choose what it should include. It's off by default. This one came from your feedback.

  6. Version 0.317

    Tap tasks in the calendar safely

    on phones and tablets, tapping a task in the month or week view now opens it instead of ticking it off straight away. You tick it off in the opened task. With a mouse on your computer, you still tick it off directly via the box. English emails also show amounts in the usual format now, such as 12,50 €. This one came from your feedback.

  7. Version 0.316

    More English

    if you use patchio in English, the emails and notifications about expenses, payments, fixed costs and shopping trips now arrive in English too, with amounts in English format. The emails about data exports and account deletion, the newsletter sign-up confirmation and the notes in your subscribed calendar, such as tasks and notice periods, are in English as well. The pages for confirming and leaving the newsletter now come in both languages.

  8. Version 0.315

    Polish from your feedback

    when you edit an event and add a location, you see it straight after saving, in the apps too. On your phone, the start and end fields in the event dialog are as wide as the others, and the 'ends on' field for repeating events stays inside its frame. Tapping no longer leaves a blue highlight behind, not even when you swipe through the calendar. Long notifications in the bell open with 'More'. If you use patchio in English, almost all error messages and more notifications, such as medication and wish list ones, are now in English too. In the apps this arrives with the next update.

  9. Version 0.314

    Filter school dates

    chips above the list show only tests, class tests, exams or events, each named the way your region calls it, with a count. Pick several at once, and with more than one subject you can narrow it down by subject too. The filter applies to the whole page. This one came from your feedback. Also, in the apps the links to the terms of service and privacy policy now open when you tap them, for example when you sign up. That arrives with the next app update.

  10. Version 0.313

    Wish lists for others

    you can now create a wish list for anyone in your household, including children with their own login and grown-ups. The list and the overview show who created it. The person it is for can edit or delete the list at any time, and whoever created it keeps helping to manage it as long as they belong to the household. The surprise stays: the person still never sees what has been reserved.

  11. Version 0.312

    Household help joins the babysitter area

    alongside babysitters, you can now invite household help. In their own view they only see their bookings, jobs and your notes, with no children, no calendar and no finances, and they don't need an app, it runs in the browser. If someone is already a babysitter, you switch them over with one tap. On a weekly booking you set regular jobs such as "clean the bathroom": patchio creates them on every booking day by itself, for babysitters too.

  12. Version 0.311

    Notifications and emails in English

    if you use patchio in English, notifications about the shopping list, pantry, vehicle deadlines, budgets and contracts, replies from the family email address, calendar import reports and school emails now arrive in English too. Error messages also appear in your chosen language. The school letter scanner translates detected events and packing lists into English and shows the German text underneath.
