✨ Key Features
- 10-Minute Timetable Grid: Displays 24 hours of the day with 6 cells per hour (10 minutes per cell). You can easily record your activities by dragging and selecting a time range.
- Category-Based Grid & Visualization: Each activity log is overlayed on the timeline with color chips based on the designated category. Hovering over a log shows a tooltip with details and the linked To-Do item.
- Collapsible To-Do List & Timeline Integration:
- A collapsible To-Do list is situated at the bottom of the timeline view.
- When marking a To-Do as complete: A confirmation window asks,
"Would you like to record this To-Do on the timeline?". Clicking [Confirm] opens the activity log modal with the To-Do text pre-filled and the time set to the current hour. - When unchecking a To-Do: If a linked timeline log exists, a confirmation window pops up asking,
"Would you like to delete the linked timeline log too?", supporting one-touch synchronized deletion.
- Intuitive Form Layout: The fields in the activity creation and edit modal are arranged cleanly in the order of:
Time settings -> Category chip selection -> Notes (detailed description) -> Linked To-Do, facilitating quick entries. - Personalization (Settings):
- General: Configure the start and end hour range for the day, toggle whether to automatically hide the note's properties section (Frontmatter Metadata Container), select the UI language (Korean/English), and choose a background theme mode (Default / Paper White).
- Category Management: Edit the names and customize the colors of the 5 default categories (Work, Study, Rest, Reading, Exercise). You can also add up to 10 custom categories, and easily delete custom ones by clicking the
Xbutton.
- Go to / Create Today's Daily Note: Features a one-touch button to search for or create today's daily note (
YYYY-MM-DD.md) and open it immediately. - Print Timeline to PDF & Export HTML:
- Click the [Print PDF] button at the top-right header to export today's timeline grid and To-Do list into a print-optimized HTML file.
- The exported file opens automatically in your system's default browser, providing a dedicated print button to save it as a clean PDF or print it without font or styling issues.
