Notely

Calendar & Scheduling ​

Notely includes an integrated Calendar Workspace that turns scheduled Markdown tasks and due dates into a visual timeline. View project deadlines, schedule tasks across days or hours, and track upcoming workloads visually.

1. Task Scheduling & Due Dates ​

Tasks in Notely support both Due Dates and Scheduled Start/End Times:

  • Due Date: Target completion deadline for a task (e.g. 2026-08-15).
  • Scheduled Start / End: Specific time window when work is planned (e.g. 2026-08-15 09:00 - 11:00).
  • All-Day Tasks: Tasks scheduled for an entire day without specific hour constraints.

2. Calendar Views ​

Access the Calendar from the left navigation sidebar or Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + C). The Calendar supports three main view modes:

Month View ​

Provides a high-level overview of the entire month. Scheduled tasks and due date markers appear inside their respective date cells. Click any date cell to quickly inspect or add tasks for that day.

Week View ​

A 7-day grid showing time slots for hourly scheduled tasks alongside an All-Day Header for day-wide deadlines. Perfect for weekly sprint planning and time-blocking.

Day View ​

A detailed single-day timeline for granular schedule management and hourly focus blocks.

3. Interactive Drag & Drop Scheduling ​

  • Reschedule Tasks: Drag tasks across calendar date cells to change their due dates or scheduled days automatically.
  • Time Slot Placement: In Week or Day views, drag tasks onto specific hour slots to assign start and end times.
  • Quick Status Toggle: Click task markers directly within calendar cells to mark them as completed without leaving the calendar view.

4. Date Filtering & Overdue Tracking ​

The Calendar integration automatically categorizes workspace tasks into smart time filters:

  • Due Today: Tasks whose due date matches the current calendar day.
  • Overdue: Open tasks whose due date has passed. Overdue items are highlighted in red for quick visibility.
  • Upcoming: Scheduled tasks occurring over the next 7 to 30 days.
  • Unscheduled Queue: A side panel listing open tasks that haven't been assigned a due date yet, allowing easy drag-and-drop onto the calendar.
