Calendar

The Calendar is for time-blocking — deciding ahead of time what your hours will hold, rather than reacting to whatever shows up. Click a slot, drop in an event, and your week takes shape.

Five grids, picked from the toolbar. Day, two days and three days lay your hours out as blocks you can drag, resize and read a time off; the week does the same across all seven. The month trades that detail for reach: every day at once, each event a coloured line in its cell, which is the view for spotting the week that has nothing in it yet — and on a phone, where a name has nowhere to go in a seventh of the screen, each day becomes a row of coloured dots you tap to open. A device opens on whichever grid fits its screen, then remembers the one you pick — so your phone can sit on three days while your desk sits on the week. Events can run for a slice of an hour, span the whole day, or repeat — whichever fits the thing you’re scheduling. Each event supports a markdown description, so meeting notes, agendas, and prep links live with the block itself.

Getting somewhere else is a click on the date itself: the title in the toolbar opens a small month, with the week you’re on marked across it. Pick a day and the grid goes there; page the months with the arrows to reach one that’s nowhere near today, without stepping through the weeks in between.

Clicking a block tells you about it rather than opening a form over it: a small panel beside it carries the hours, the categories, the description and the task it was blocked for, with editing and deleting a step from there — you look at a block far more often than you change one. A deadline marker gets the same panel, offering what a deadline can do: tick it off, block time for it, or drop the date. It is the one panel the grid ever opens: on a month, a day too full for its cell puts the whole day’s list in that same panel, and picking a row walks into it with a way back — rather than a second, differently-shaped list on top of the first.

Events are organized into categories you define — Deep Work, Errands, Family, whatever your week actually contains. Each category gets its own color, managed from a sidebar so you can tune the palette as your priorities shift. The colors make a week’s pattern visible at a glance: where the focus blocks actually are, where they aren’t.

The Calendar is what turns Synlit from a list of things into a picture of how you spend your time.
