Schedules
A schedule card is a real calendar living on your canvas. It has month, week, day and hour views, you can break a day down into hours and an hour into minutes, and you can drop any card into a time slot. The grid itself is read-only — all editing happens in the peek panel that opens when you click a slot.
A schedule card is a calendar with real dates, sitting on the canvas next to everything it refers to. Shooting days beside the location photos; a release plan beside the assets.

Views
Four zoom levels of the same schedule:
| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| Month | The whole month in a grid |
| Week | Seven days side by side |
| Day | One day, broken into hours |
| Hour | One hour, broken into minutes |
Break a day down into hours, and an hour down into minutes, when a day needs that resolution. A prep week can sit at month view while the shoot day sits at hour view in the same board.
Go to today returns you to now. The mini-calendar in the header jumps to any date without scrolling.
Putting things in it
Drop any card into a slot — a note, an image, a file, a link, a nested cluster. A schedule holds content, not just text labels, which is what separates it from a calendar app.
The peek panel
The calendar grid itself is read-only. Clicking a day or an hour opens the peek — a panel where all editing happens.
This is deliberate. A dense calendar grid with inline editing produced constant mis-clicks: reaching for a slot and accidentally editing the one next to it. All edits going through the peek means the grid can be scanned and clicked confidently.
What a schedule is for
Anything where the cells mean time:
- Shoot days and unit moves
- Call sheets, with the location photo attached to the hour
- Delivery and release timelines
- A prep calendar with references attached to the day they are needed
If the cells mean position rather than time — a storyboard, a contact sheet, a comparison — you want a grid.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drop images and notes into a schedule?
Yes. Any card can go into a time slot, not just text. A call sheet with the location photo attached to the right hour works exactly as you would expect.
Why can I not type directly into the calendar grid?
The grid is deliberately read-only. Clicking a slot opens a peek panel and every edit happens there. Inline editing in a dense calendar produced constant mis-clicks.
How do I get back to today?
The "Go to today" control, or the mini-calendar in the header to jump to any date.
