Calendar


When to use

Calendar is a dedicated space for planning, journaling, and note-taking based around daily items. You can instantly create a new item for any day, send items to it, link to it, and much more.

It removes the friction from having to create and manage a daily note so you can quickly capture your thoughts and ideas,

Create an item for today

There are multiple ways to create today's item, including:

  • Click the calendar icon in the menu bar
  • Use the keyboard shortcut Alt+T (Win) / Ctrl+T (Mac)
  • On mobile, tap Today in the navigation bar

Customize the calendar

You can customize your calendar setup to hide or display certain parts of the calendar.

Change the date format

You can modify how the date is displayed in your calendar and throughout the app. You can choose from common formats or set a completely custom date format. You can also change the date format from the settings menu under the 'Dates' section.

Migrate your existing calendar

If you have items with date tags you want to migrate into the calendar, you can migrate them so they become part of it.

Send an item to today

You can quickly send anything to today's item with a slash command. This lets you keep your todos and notes elsewhere, then send them to today's

View items with date tags in your calendar

All items in your account with a date tag will automatically be shown in your calendar under a section labeled 'Found Dates' on their corresponding day. These items are mirrors of the original item, so changes to these items will also update the original item wherever it is in your account.

Searching for common 'days' in your calendar

You can reference common 'days' in your calendar using natural language in various menus. This mean you can type things like 'today', 'yesterday', or 'last week' in the Jump-to, MoveTo, MirrorTo, and LinkTo menus and the corresponding item in your calendar will be referenced - without having to know the exact calendar date for it.
