What happens when I describe something that hasn't happened yet?

The Add Event box isn't just for the past. Describe anything coming up - in your own words - and Loophole files it, tracks it, and follows up with you after it was supposed to happen.

What gets created

Loophole reads what you wrote and sorts it automatically:

  • Already happened → a normal event on the timeline, exactly as always.

  • Arranged with someone (a repair visit, appointment, inspection, delivery) → two things: a timeline entry recording that it was scheduled - marked Awaiting Outcome - and an item in Upcoming for the day it's due.

  • A to-do or recurring item ("renew the lease paperwork by the 15th," "water the plants every Friday") → an Upcoming item only.

There are no toggles or dropdown for this. Write naturally; Loophole classifies.

Where Upcoming items live

Two places: the Upcoming strip on your dashboard, and the Upcoming section at the top of the Events tab on any World entry it's linked to.

The check-in

When the scheduled time for an arranged commitment passes - shortly after a timed window ends, or the next morning for all-day items - a question appears on your Suggestions page: "Did this happen?"

  • Tap Yes - the outcome is recorded on the timeline and the Awaiting Outcome badge clears.

  • Tap No - a no-show is recorded on the timeline. That's not a failure; that's evidence.

  • Add a note (optional) - one sentence turns a generic entry into a sharp one: "he replaced the valve, said the leak came from upstairs" becomes "Valve Replaced - Leak Traced Upstairs." And if your note mentions a new date ("never showed, office says Friday now"), Loophole schedules the next reminder automatically and will check in again after Friday.

One tap is always enough. Notes just make your timeline smarter.

If you don't answer

The question quietly disappears after a few days - no nagging. The timeline entry keeps its Awaiting Outcome badge: a permanent record that something was promised and never confirmed.

Personal reminders

For things that aren't tied to a record at all, use Add Reminder on your dashboard - same natural language ("pay rent on the 1st every month"), and it lands in the same Upcoming strip.
