Reading Your Calendar
The calendar grid packs a lot of information into small cells. This page explains what you're seeing in each day, what the indicators mean, and how to use the day detail panel.
The calendar grid
The grid shows seven columns (Sunday through Saturday) and enough rows to cover the full month. Days from the previous and following months appear faded at the edges.
Today's date is marked with a highlighted ring.
Your birthday gets a special animated rainbow border — if you've added your birthday in your profile, it stands out clearly.
Selected day shows a blue ring when you've clicked it and the detail panel is open below.
What's inside each day cell
On desktop and tablet, each day cell shows a compact list of activities for that day:
- Mood indicator (emoji face in the mood's color)
- Upcoming workouts with time and type
- Completed workouts with type and distance
- Media logged (movie title, book, TV episode, game)
- Journal entries
- Restaurant visits
- Drinks logged with producer
- Parks visited
- Vacation itinerary days
- Goal and milestone due or completion dates
- Birthday and anniversary icons with tooltip (hover to see the person's name and age)
On mobile, cells are minimal — day number, small mood indicator, and colored dots at the bottom to signal that data exists. Tap the day to see the full detail.
Colored dots at the bottom of each cell give a quick visual read on how busy a day was — one dot per data type present.
The day detail panel
Click any day and a panel opens below the grid showing everything logged for that date, organized into sections:
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Holiday | Federal holiday name with option to create a linked event |
| Mood | Rating, label, and your note |
| Birthdays & anniversaries | Anyone in your People directory celebrating today, with age |
| Relationship moments | Anything logged in the Relationship section |
| Vacations | Active vacation with destination and dates |
| Events | Any events for the day with time and location |
| Workouts | Upcoming (unstarted) and completed sessions with type, duration, difficulty |
| Media | Movies, TV, books, and games logged that day |
| Parks | Parks visited |
| Restaurants | Restaurants visited |
| Drinks | Drinks logged with producer |
| Journals | Journal entries written on this date |
| Tasks | Overdue (red), upcoming (blue), and completed (green) tasks due this day |
| Goals & milestones | Goals or milestones due or completed |
Empty sections don't appear — the panel only shows categories that have data for that day.
A "View Full Day" button at the top of the panel opens a dedicated daily page with expanded detail for every section.
The panel loads when you first click a day and caches the result — switching to another day and back won't re-fetch, so navigation is fast.
Holidays
Federal holidays are computed automatically and appear in day cells with a star indicator. Clicking a holiday day in the detail panel shows the holiday name and a button to create a linked event (useful for logging what you did on the day off). If you've already created an event linked to that holiday, it shows instead of the creation prompt.
Common questions
I logged something today but it's not showing in the cell. The calendar reflects logged data, not scheduled or planned data (except for upcoming workouts and tasks by due date). Check that the entry's date is set correctly in the relevant section.
The day detail panel takes a moment to load. Is that normal? Yes — the panel fetches data for that specific day on demand rather than loading everything up front. Once loaded, the day is cached for the rest of the session.
Can I log something directly from the calendar? You can create a new event using the Add Event button at the top. For other data types, tap the link in the day panel to navigate to the relevant section.
