Fokus

Calendar

Tasks and events on one time grid — drag, drop, and resize until the day feels honest.

The Calendar shows your days as vertical timelines: events from your connected calendars, task blocks placed by the auto-scheduler, and the gaps in between. It's where you sanity-check whether the plan actually fits.

Calendar week view with events and scheduled task blocks

Reading the grid

  • Every column is a day, with its weather forecast in the header — handy when deciding where the gym or the sailing trip goes.
  • Solid colored blocks are events; lighter blocks with a circle are scheduled tasks — click the circle to complete one right from the grid.
  • A small lock on a block means it's pinned: the auto-scheduler won't move it. Manually placed tasks get pinned automatically.
  • The red line is now. The all-day row at the top collects date-only items.
  • The timeline panel on the right is the same today-strip as in Kanban, so your task list is always one glance away.

Moving things around

Drag a block to move it; drag its edge to resize (which updates the task's estimated time). Fokus saves as you drop:

Drag a task block to a new time — it gets pinned there so the auto-scheduler respects your choice.

A few more grid tricks:

  • Click an empty slot to create an event or task right there.
  • Zoom with the magnifier buttons to see more or less of the day at once.
  • Scroll horizontally (or use the arrow keys) to move through days; the header arrows jump a full range.

Two-way calendar sync

With Google Calendar or Outlook connected, external events appear here and Fokus-created ones sync back — the auto-scheduler plans around all of it.

A second time zone

Working across time zones? Show a second time zone next to your own in the time column. Turn it on in Settings → General under Secondary time zone, and the hour gutter gains a second column of labels — your own zone next to the grid, the secondary one beside it, each with its zone abbreviation at the top.

It's display-only: it never changes when tasks get scheduled or how events are stored — it's just there so you can read the day in both zones at a glance. Want it on the now line too? Flip on Show secondary time on the current-time line in the same settings.
