Calendar

Calendar is the fifth pinned smart list. It lays your dated tasks out on a week or month grid, so you can see the shape of the week and move things around by dragging.

Out of the box Kan Do's Calendar shows only Kan Do tasks. Turn on Calendar Events in Settings and it also shows the events from your Calendar app, read-only: Kan Do never adds, changes, or deletes events.

#Week, Month, and Scheduled

A picker at the top switches between Week, Month, and Scheduled. A Jump to today button returns to the current day. Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Calendar Opens In chooses whether the calendar starts in Last Used, Week, Month, or Scheduled.

Scheduled is an agenda rather than a grid: a scrolling list of everything dated, grouped by day. Overdue tasks come first, in red with their dates, then Today, Tomorrow, and every later day that has a task, a subtask, or a calendar event. Tasks show as their cards, subtasks as rows under their task, and events (with Calendar Events on) at the top of their day. It is the view to open when you want to read the next few weeks top to bottom, like the Scheduled list in Reminders.

#What a day shows

• Tasks appear on their due date.
• Tasks with a start date also appear on the start date, marked Starts.
• Tasks with a due time show the time on their tile, in red once it has passed.
• Dated subtasks appear as compact chips.
• When a day cell is wide enough, tasks show as their full board cards, cover image included. In narrower cells they're compact chips.
• A day with more than fits shows +N more. An empty day reads "Nothing due."

#Calendar events

Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Calendar Events ▸ Show Calendar Events is off until you turn it on. The first time, Kan Do asks for access to your calendars. Below the switch, every calendar on the device is listed by account with a checkbox, so you can hide a shared or holiday calendar and keep the rest. All calendars are shown at first.

With it on:

• Today lists today's events at the top, above the tasks, each with its calendar's color, title, and time (or All day).
• The Calendar shows events on their days, as chips in wide cells and as colored dots under the day number in narrow ones, above the day's tasks.

Events can't be dragged, checked off, or edited in Kan Do. On iPhone and iPad, tapping one opens that day in the Calendar app. Which calendars are visible is a per-device choice, like the Appearance settings. Turning the switch off removes the events everywhere and stops Kan Do reading the calendar.

#Rescheduling by dragging

Drag a task tile or chip to another day to change its due date. Drag a Starts chip to move the start date instead. The change syncs like any other edit.

#Day and task menus

Right-click or press and hold a task on the calendar for Open Task, the due-date presets (Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, Pick Date & Time…), and Remove Due Date.

#Filtering

The Filter menu offers All Tasks, a Tags section, and a Projects section. Pick a tag to show only tasks carrying it (a parent tag matches its nested tags), or a project to focus on one board's dates.

#Opening the calendar quickly

• Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Open at Launch ▸ Calendar opens it every time the app starts.
• The circular Calendar Lock Screen widget on iPhone and iPad opens Kan Do straight to the calendar.
• The link kando://list/calendar opens it from anywhere.

#Completed tasks

The calendar shows dated tasks whether or not they're complete, so it also works as a record of what got done and when.
