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
  • If the task would run into a meeting or another task, the preview turns amber and names it — the task keeps its length and gets an Overlaps … tag

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
  • Choose Day, 3 Days or Week to set how much you see; 3 Days shows the day you're on and the next two
  • Click the arrows (or press ← / →) to move back or forward a day, 3 days or a week
  • Click Today (or press T) to jump back to today
  • Click the filter at the start of the header (or press F) to see only one area, such as Work or Personal, or one project. See Filtering the Planner
  • The timeline shows your working hours from Settings; click Before 9am or After 5pm to see the rest, and use − / + to zoom
