Related to this, I have a bit of a wishlist for the right-hand panel:
I would love some setting options to more clearly differentiate reminders from calendar entries in the calendar overview. In particular, I’d like an option where calendar events appear with a box around them, and reminders that are scheduled during that event appear within the box. That way I could time-block and visually chunk my tasks in the day.
Another option I would like is to display today’s events in a way where the spacing more closely reflects the time events take, so a 3 hour event is 3 times as long vertically as a 1 hour event, and unscheduled time displays as a gap. For the gaps, rather than take up lots of vertical space, my preference would be that the gap is just a single line but it says the size of the gap with something like ‘Gap of 2 hours’ or similar. If the proposed red line showing current time is in the gap, it could perhaps additionally say ‘x minutes to go’ in red.
Another calendar formatting option I’d like is the ability to control vertical spacing between items. Having a whole line between calendar items is ok if you’re trying to display a single day, but I can barely see more than one day worth of events and reminders at a time, and I’d like the option to squish them closer together so I can see more than one day.
I really wish that double-clicking the calendar item opened it in Apple Calendar and the context menu was instead accessed by right-clicking, or that there was an option in settings to choose for it to work this way. It would more more intuitive and make the flow much smoother.
To make more room in the Calendar overview and make it easier to read, I wish there was an option to have ‘related notes’ instead display visually in the centre with the relevant note rather than in the right-hand side panel. This would also be more intuitive to me because it groups the related items with the thing they’re related to than requiring you to think about what you’ve got selected in a different part of the screen. For example, related notes could be accessed by adding a third icon at the bottom of a note, or users could choose to display each note’s related notes directly under that note. That would give you room for something like keeping a mini-calendar of the month visible for reference in the right-hand panel, or you could choose to just have more vertical space for the timeline.
Similarly, ’Show Recently Edited’ feels like it’s in the wrong spot being in the timeline on the right. It feels to me like it should logically sit with the button for displaying recent projects at the bottom of the left hand panel. For example, just have the icon for ‘Show Recently Edited’ at the bottom of the left-hand panel next to the icon for showing recently used projects, and have the recently edited notes pop up in a list when that icon is clicked. Then the navigational tools for getting around notes based on things other than when they are scheduled are grouped together in the left-hand panel, while the right-hand panel becomes more focused as a timeline.
I’d also love the option to be able to copy and paste all the events and reminders for a given day into a note, so they appear in chronological order with the events as headings and the reminders as checklist items (that allow you to access the reminder). That would give me a running sheet for a given day I can add notes and subtasks to, and a record of what I did on a given day.
