Shaping the week

Named sets of hours

Work hours, personal hours, and work never lands in the wrong one.

One global "working hours" setting means personal errands land at 2pm on a Wednesday. Give each task a schedule and that's the only place it can go.

How to use it

Hours → Add a set → Name it → set Weekly hours per day. One of them is the Default, which is what a task gets when it doesn't say otherwise. Pick a task's schedule with When can this happen.

The honest version

Delete a schedule and its tasks survive. They end up with none, and get placed against the default.

Templates

One tap fills the whole form for work you set up over and over.

Deadlines are relative — "due three days from now" — so a template doesn't go stale.

How to use it

Templates → New template. Template name is what you'll see when adding a task; Task title is what the task ends up called. Set How long, Priority, Deadline offset in days, When can this happen and Notes. To use one, hit Start from a template at the top of the add-task form — it fills everything in, and you can still change any of it before saving.

Day, week, month and agenda

Four views, one plan.

A grid answers "how packed is Thursday, and where are the gaps". A list answers "what's next", which is a different question and the one you ask most.

How to use it

The Day / Week / Month / Agenda switcher at the top of the Calendar. Today returns to now; the chevrons move a day, a week, a month or two weeks depending on the view. In month view, clicking a date opens that day.

The honest version

Agenda lists two weeks at a time, starting on the day you're on, and skips days with nothing on them — so it's a list rather than fourteen headings. Each day header carries how much work is on it. You can't drag a block to a time in the agenda because a list has no times to drop onto; pin from the grid, or open the task and set the time there. Work more than two weeks out shows a dash and time set nearer the day, because that far ahead we've committed to a day and not an hour.

Works on a phone

Seven columns on a phone would be 47 pixels each, so it doesn't do that.

One day below 600px with a date strip, three columns up to 1024px, the full week above that. It stays a calendar at every width rather than collapsing into a list. In month view below 600px, days show dots instead of chips you couldn't read anyway.

Light, dark, or whatever your device says

Dark mode that follows your phone, or doesn't, because you said so.

Most apps hand you the OS setting and nothing else, which is wrong twice a day. The room's dark and the laptop hasn't noticed, or you want one thing on the phone in bed and another on the desktop at noon. Three states, on both, and they're allowed to disagree.

How to use it

Settings → Appearance → System, Light or Dark. It applies the moment you tap it; there's nothing to save.

The honest version

It's saved on the device, not on your account — unlike week start and time zone, which follow you everywhere. So it's once per phone and once per browser, and in a browser a private window starts back at System.

Week start and time zone

Your week, your clock.

How to use it

Settings → Week starts on (Monday or Sunday). That's display only; it never moves work. Settings → Time zone does move work, since your hours, your deadlines and every block are read in it. The live clock beside the menu is your sanity check, and there's a one-click shortcut to whatever zone your device is in.
