Calendar & Journal

Time-based planning, daily habit tracking, voice journal logs, and multi-view calendars.

Umbra connects spatial thinking with temporal planning. The Calendar & Journal block embeds time-aware scheduling, daily reflection, and milestone tracking directly into your infinite canvas.

1. The Calendar Block on the Canvas

Click the Calendar tool on the left toolbar to place a self-contained calendar card anywhere across your boards:

  • Spatial Placement: Position the calendar block near active sprints, research notes, or design specs to ground your tasks in time.
  • Month & Year Selectors: Quickly jump across past and future months using the header select menus.
  • Current Day Indicator: Today's date is prominently highlighted with high-contrast badge styling.
  • Card Expansion: Click the expand icon (⤢) or double-click the header bar to open the full-screen planning surface.

2. Full-Screen Planning & Journal Workspace

Expanding the calendar opens the comprehensive multi-view schedule and journaling workspace:

  • Four Timeline Views:
    • Month Grid: High-level visual layout displaying event dots, mood reflections, and habit streaks across the entire month.
    • Week Schedule: Horizontal timeline designed for managing deep-work sessions, meetings, and project milestones.
    • Day View: Focused hourly timetable for day-to-day execution and time blocking.
    • List Agenda: Compact chronological list of all upcoming deliverables, deadlines, and logged notes.
  • Search & Tag Filters: Filter scheduled items instantly by color, tag, or custom category using the top search bar.
  • Top Quick Actions: Rapidly create items using the top toolbar buttons (+ Event, + Entry, + Voice, + Reminder).

3. Date Entry & Daily Journal Pop-up

Clicking any day cell on the calendar opens the Day Journal & Planning pop-up window:
