Calendar Views

PrimeCal shows the same event data in three primary scheduling views: Focus, Month, and Week. Each view emphasizes different decisions.

Quick Comparison

ViewBest forKey behavior
Focus viewCurrent work and the next eventShows the current timeline state, next item, remaining time, and quick meeting actions.
Month viewPlanning across many daysShows a six-week grid, compact event cards, and a selected-day detail panel.
Week viewDetailed schedulingShows a 24-hour grid, overlap layout, drag-to-create, and precise time placement.

Focus View

  • Shows the current and next event prominently.
  • Includes a live clock and remaining time indicator.
  • Supports drag-to-create in the timeline.
  • Shows meeting links when the event contains them.
  • Respects hidden live Focus labels from the profile page.

Month View

  • Shows a six-week grid layout.
  • Uses calendar and event colors in compact cards.
  • Surfaces per-day event counts when space is limited.
  • Shows a selected-day detail panel on desktop.
  • Can show reservation-related items where those features are enabled.

Week View

  • Uses a 24-hour vertical time grid.
  • Supports drag selection to create a pre-filled event.
  • Sorts overlapping events by calendar rank, then calendar ID, then event ID.
  • Shows a current-time indicator during the day.
  • Can turn real locations into map links.

Visibility And Color Rules

  • Hiding a calendar from the sidebar removes it from Focus, Month, and Week views.
  • Hiding labels in the profile page only affects Focus view.
  • Calendar colors are the default visual source across all views.
  • Event-level colors override the calendar color for that specific event.
