I don’t know if this has been requested before but I would really like to have a monthly calendar visible in the Agenda timeline. I know it’s there for us to glance at, but for Agenda as my all in one app for task management and reminders, having that little collection of squares in the top right corner would do wonders for my OCD.

Thanks for the feedback!
We don’t really see Agenda as an all-in-one app, but rather a note taking app that integrates well with Apple’s built in calendar and reminders.
We do occasionally get someone wanting a full calendar experience. We will take it along in future planning for consideration, but it would probably be a step too far. We could never give the same experience as a true calendar app like Apple Calendar, or whatever calendar app you prefer.
All I’m asking for is the monthly grid on display in the timeline. We’ve already got one implemented, I’d just like to have it visible at all times. Than you for your attention on this matter.

And take it from me, as someone who has tried nearly every kind of app for productivity out there, it would be a major selling feature for you guys in the future, to improve calendar functionality.
On the Mac I use Fantastical. One of the most useful features is a pop up calendar that you invoke with key combination.
This gives you a floating monthly calendar if you want. It’s part of the fantastical free plan.
Could give you some of the functionality you are looking for.

In the past, I have created monthly overview notes. I put a table at the top to make a calendar, and then I could put other notes and links below it. Pin it and keep it On The Agenda, and it’s always easily accessible.
Fantastical gave me iCloud sync issues, mind you I could and perhaps ought to switch to gmail for events over iCloud. But for reasons of syncing problems i decided not to I use another third party calendar tool such as that. Appreciate the suggestions.
A bit off topic but I discovered a couple of years ago that in OmniFocus I can enter the duration (no start/end) in a task and drag it around in Fantastical/OF forecast as a time block and the end date/time will be set in the real task. Since the original task note is created as an Ag note and linked, it updates the Ag time line.
I jwould like an Agenda Calendar.
Even one that can publish a subscription (ToDoIst does this.) I can then add the (calendar) subscription (via a link) to my Proton Calendar. It doesn’t have to be 2-way sync, and I tolerated delays, but having the info. in my Proton encrypted calendar was helpful.
Agenda prints easily, and I really like Agenda’s very appealing (to be in, all the time) interface. The printing feature is the main reason I recenlty bought a Lifetime license, after purchasing Agenda through the years. And the independent app lock feature, too (thanks!)
Apple Calendar is not one of Apple’s features that is end-to-end encrypted (although Apple voices reasons as to why not, Proton’s blog says Apple can do it if they want, and Proton explains how.)
My ical data goes thru a Canadian server (seen thru Little Snitch App for Mac by Objective Development, fully operational free version available), and Canada isn’t limited by US Privacy laws. Canada is a “5 Eyes’ country (Canada and US are 2 of 5 countries that together share intel.) And calendars are a treasure trove of data - including future whereabouts, connections, etc.
The non-encrypted iCal is a sticky widget for me, as Privacy is a cornerstone of Freedom.
Maybe Apple will get there (to iCal encryption)? But with the unannounced Age Verification System in iOS 26.4 release in the UK, the “35 million UI iPhone users” “found out their devices now require identity documents to function normally.” “A company that controls what software runs on every iPhone it sells decided overnight that UK users needed to hand over identity documents to keep using the devices they already paid for. And it didn’t bother to tell them it was coming.” (from reclaimthenet.org 3/29/26 article “Apple UK Age Verification Caos: Users Face Failed Scans, Rejected Passports, and Forced Content Filters.”
Also in the news has been people locked out of iCloud, and having iCloud data deleted, for no reason, and having a very hard time getting back in. Data would still be in Agenda, though, as not 2-way sync, if iCal access/data lost by too-priviledged bots.
Thanks for the feedback, and glad you’re enjoying Agenda!
We don’t currently have plans to publish a calendar subscription from Agenda, but I can see how that would be handy for setups where you’re not using Apple Calendar directly. Right now we integrate tightly with the system calendar, so any events you link to notes will show up in whatever calendar app reads from that (including via iCloud calendar subscriptions if you set that up on the Apple side).
We’ll take the idea along though. Thanks!
