Understanding the Planner

The Planner (Today view) is your daily command center, showing tasks and calendar events on a visual timeline.

The Timeline

Planner timeline view

The timeline shows a 24-hour view of your day:

  • Calendar events appear as colored blocks from Google Calendar
  • Scheduled tasks appear as blue cards on the timeline
  • Free time gaps are visible between events

Scheduling Tasks

To schedule a task on the timeline:

  1. Find a task in your Inbox or backlog
  2. Drag it to the timeline
  3. Drop it at your desired time

The task snaps to 15-minute increments for clean scheduling.

Adjusting Task Duration

Hover over the bottom edge of a scheduled task to see the resize handle. Drag to adjust how long the task will take.

  • Duration snaps to 15-minute increments
  • A preview shows the new duration as you drag
  • Red highlighting warns of conflicts with other events

Daily Note Toggle

Switch between Tasks view and Daily Note view using the toggle at the top:

  • Tasks: See your scheduled tasks and timeline
  • Daily Note: Open your journal/scratch pad for today
  • Use the date header to see which day you're viewing
  • Click arrows to move between days
  • Click "Today" to jump back to the current day
