The Structured Cloud

We are taking matters in our own hand! We did no longer want to be dependent on iCloud for syncing your tasks across devices. Now, we forged our own destiny by introducing the Structured Cloud. While Structured Cloud is still in beta, rest assured that iCloud sync will remain usable if desired. You may now ask: “How is this any of my concern?” Or “I love Structured just as is, why does anything have to change?” Don’t fret, your questions will be answered in this article.

What is the Structured Cloud?

The Structured Cloud is our own sync solution to seamlessly share your calendar across devices. Until now, you did not have a Structured account. Instead, your tasks were linked to your Apple ID and stored in iCloud. Because of this, you were able to sync your Structured tasks only across Apple devices.

The Advantage of Structured Cloud

By moving to Structured Cloud sync, we will be in charge instead of Apple. This means first and foremost that we can address issues regarding syncing your data ourselves. In fact, we hopefully will be able to eliminate any sync issues. Especially, the sometimes instable sync between the Apple Watch and other Apple devices will be immeasurably improved.

But behold, there is more. With your Structured timeline linked to a Structured account instead of an Apple ID, you will be able to synchronize your tasks across operating systems. This is a feature, we are still working on, but in the future, you can check your tasks on your Android phone or on a web based Structured version.

The main difference for you will be your Structured account. By signing in with your e-mail address, you can access your Structured tasks anywhere at any time. Other than that, you don’t have to expect any changes regarding user experience, except that the sync of your tasks will work faster and more reliable than in the past.

Accessing Structured Cloud

We will roll out access to the Structured Cloud bit by bit so that we can adapt and keep up with the demand. At one point, a magic button will appear in your ⚙️ Structured Settings saying Structured Cloud. By using it and typing in your e-mail address, all of your Structured data will be moved from your iCloud account to the Structured cloud.

The Structured Cloud enables us to create our own Structured ecosystem with a sheer endless variety of possibilities. Hopefully, you are just as excited as we are about the Structured Cloud and all the improvements that are coming with it.
