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:

ViewShows
MonthThe whole month in a grid
WeekSeven days side by side
DayOne day, broken into hours
HourOne 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.
