General
-
Gammel is an iOS app and requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18.
To run it on your Apple Watch you need watchOS 11.
It can also be run on macOS 15 (Sequoia) on Apple Silicon Macs with the Designed or iPad feature.
-
Gammel stores your data on your device and in your iCloud storage.
You will need to have enough storage space available in iCloud or the data will not sync. If you don’t have enough storage this wont affect your use of Gammel on an individual device, but will mean the data will not share automatically to your other devices
-
You can’t add data directly to the Gammel app on your Apple Watch, but data you add on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac will sync to Gammel on your Apple Watch. However, this can take a little bit of time so if the data does not appear immediately give it a bit more time and it should sync over.
It’s best to open the Gammel app on your Apple Watch and ensuring the data has synced before attempting to configure complications.
-
If you have been using Gammel and have data stored, when you install it on a new device it may take 20 seconds or more for all the data to sync from iCloud. During this time it may appear that Gammel is empty and contains no data, just give it some more time and you should see your data appear.
