🧠It feels good
|
If you want a sleek app that can help you manage your focus and events, and you're on your computer (not mobile), give the updated Compass Calendar another look: ​https://app.compasscalendar.com​ We’ve added lots of tweaks to make managing your calendar feel smooth. Dragging an event from Monday to Friday now snaps smoothly into place as you move it. Events make space for each other instead of overlapping. You can right-click to assign a priority to an event. There are more shortcuts. Recurring events work. Ya know, the basics. TBH, I still use a different calendar app when I need to set up meetings or see all my sub-calendars, but I like creating new events and tasks in Compass. It just looks and feels sleek. I talk about how it “feels,” because that’s how we’re setting ourselves apart. As a small and bootstrapped team, we currently can’t integrate with all your other tools. We can’t be on your phone, tablet, watch, or TV yet. We can’t work on 10 features at the same time. But we can do the basics well. We can line up every pixel correctly. We can use complementary colors. We can add algorithms to help you place the event into the perfect slot a millisecond faster. We’ll continue to stress over the little things, while also adding the big features you’ve been asking for (next up: sub-calendars and a daily planner workflow). Check things out for yourself: https://app.compasscalendar.com​ Tyler PS - Shoutouts As an open-source product, we really appreciate our new first-time contributors: @murilo9, @rhyslee211, @sarans-h, @akintewe, @chiefDevOvrlrd, @fogboots, @Amumug, @claudiahdz, @ru694, @DiegoMutre, @AzharAhmed-bot, @benjaminguma, and @hanzili​ Of course, our core team members have also done some great work: Muhammed (@that-one-arab) and Victor (@victor-enogwe).

This time of year comes with optimism, energy, and planning. But the only thing that we can count on is our plans not going according to plan. When that happens, it’s helpful to simply focus on what you can control today. Over the last month, we made it a lot easier to do that with Compass. You can now manage your events from the /day view just like you would on your week or month calendar. This allows you to stay on top of your tasks and events without context-switching.

TL;DR - Compass now helps you focus on the current task at hand There are two types of people: Those who wing it—working on whatever they feel like Those who plan—working on what they prioritized You’re probably the second type—a busy professional who cares about being productive with your time (same). We’re drawn to goals, plans, and systems. We’re ambitious, organized. But we’re also prone to “procrastiplanning”: spending excessive time planning and organizing instead of taking action on...
You can already plan your month and week in a lightweight way in Compass Calendar. Now you can also plan your …. day! *John Cena entrance music* #tek It’s a task list next to your agenda. Pretty straightforward, but don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. Showing one day’s worth of tasks/events will help you turn off that monkey brain and lock in on what you need to do today. We also added shortcuts to help manage the tasks, which will keep your mind focused and your hands away from the...
